The Boreal Crux is an all-round performance climbing shoe that nails every type of climbing terrain, from multi-pitch trad to sessions down at your local bouldering gym. Ideal for climbers that need a do-it-all shoe or for intermediate climbers that want an accessible introduction to performance climbing shoes.
Opting for a more moderate downturn and asymmetry than many of its super aggressive rivals, the Crux strikes the perfect balance between comfort and performance. But, don't be fooled by the easy going looks - the Crux is a brilliant all-round performer with the midsole reinforced toe box providing great support and precision. Further bolstered by the 4-4.5mm of Zenist 2.0 rubber, the Crux is an edging machine with plenty of sticky friction to back it up.
The split sole across the bottom of the shoe provides enough flexibility to make the Crux a viable option for indoor and sedimentary rock type use. With ample rubber over the toes, a one-piece heel cup and the Wrap Rand, the Crux can hook well too whilst these additional features further contribute to the secure fit of the shoe, limiting stretch and keeping your foot locked in place.
The upper of the Crux is constructed from super comfortable vegan microfibres and the tongue, midsole and middle part of the rubber outsole have all been made from recycled materials - so the Crux packs an environmental punch too.

These were the first pair of shies I bought when I first started bouldering. They grip the holds brilliantly in my opinion and are far more grippy than the la sportiva tarantulas which I also own now. They aren't the most comfortable of show given the arch and how tight they are around the toes but they offer so much feel when climbing that a small amount of discomfort doesn't outweigh the benefits you gain from these shoes. I'm an 8.5 in UK sizes however I have to wear a 9 in the crux so be mindfully when buying that you might need to try a few different sizes to get the right one for you
Very good product extremely happy
