The Red Chili Ventic Air Lace is a milestone in climbing shoe sustainability. All textile elements of the upper are recycled from post-consumer polyester and produced in line with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). Using the Ventic Air's tried-and-tested rand, mean that efforts to protect the environment do not come at the expense of performance. The RX-Techgrip sole offers good edging capabilities, being both supportive and stable when nailing down those precise foot placements.
Promising outstanding comfort for lengthy gym sessions or multi-pitch climbs they do not disappoint! A stretchy knitted upper provides a sock-like opening, that is extremely forgiving and very easy to pull on straight out of the box. The shoe feels super comfortable from the outset, while the material feels extremely breathable and almost flexes with your foot. While the lace closure may not endear to all - but the properties of the upper material lend themselves to a more precise fit that laces provide.
With the flat, neutral last and a firm midsole - the Ventic Air Lace would be a superb choice for novice climbers looking to purchase their first shoe - for gym climbing and forays outdoors. For all-day wear, and out of the box comfort, you'll not go far wrong in a pair of Ventic Air Lace!

I purchased these shoes because I owned a pair of Red Chilli, years ago, and I’m a fan of brand loyalty. The Ventic offer all the usual qualities from Red Chilli, style, design and practicalities, with good all-round grip. I sized down one size as recommended and after a short break-in period and a slight tweak with a shoe stretcher with a corn plate to remove a hotspot, they now fit really well, tight but not crippling. Laces offer extra fine tuning over the velcro version in my humble opinion, I can fully recommend these shoes if new to climbing or bouldering.
