The Ultra-Grip Agressive Climbing Shoe
When your project is so steep that it always casts a shadow, that's when you bust out these secret weapons. Built for overhanging sport routes and hard bouldering, the Shadow features an aggressive, downturned last with Black Diamond's sticky Fuse rubber that's moulded-inspired by the way Black Diamond forges their carabiners-and not cut from one sheet of rubber. This is Black Diamond's engineered solution to optimize the rubber and rands for weight, consistency and comfort on climbing shoes. The Black Diamond Shadow Climbing Shoe features a stretch resistant microfiber upper, and the shoe's vamp features an innovative combination of printed and moulded high friction rubber.
Versatility and Breathability
The moulded rubber is strategically placed in high-use areas, while the printed rubber minimizes bulk, and in combination, these rubbers provide better top of foot dexterity and purchase when toe-hooking. The tongue is made from Black Diamond's Engineered Knit Technology, which is exceptionally breathable and increases mobility and comfort. With a minimalist midsole, the Shadow is ultra-sensitive and allows you to pull in on steep terrain.
