Perks
Boreal climbing shoes have FS-Quattro rubber, a super sticky climbing shoe rubber in keeping with the Boreal history of developing fine climbing shoe rubber. This rubber is very abrasion resistant and offers a consistent level of performance in a wide variety of temperatures.
Boreal has traditionally used a wider last, making them good for climbers with medium to wide feet.
Sacrifices
Some of the Boreal models with a board last (instead of a slipper last) can be stiff out of the box and require a more extensive break-in period. Climbers with narrow feet may find the Boreal fit a little sloppy.
Bottom Line
Boreal offers the most comprehensive line of climbing shoes on the market, and whether your goal is a couple or recreational weekend climbs every year or the highest levels of sport climbing performance, Boreal rock climbing shoes can help you reach your goals.
