What are the Tarantula Boulder Shoes?
Good question! Based on the classic La Sportiva Tarantula, these are durable climbing shoes designed explicitly for bouldering. They are perfect for beginners looking to develop their technique both in the gym and on the rock, yet still work great for those with more experience.
What are they made of?
The leather suede upper is extremely durable to resist abrasion against rough surfaces and provides plenty of flexibility to move the foot from hold to hold, allowing you to feel and perform your best during your sessions. The leather is highly breathable, meaning you won't have to suffer from sweaty feet on warmer days or worry about offending your mates in the changing rooms.
The front section is lined to help protect the toes from bumps that come keen on such solid surfaces.
The midsole LaSpoFlex midsole offers plenty of support and protection without hindering sensitivity or adding too much bulk under the foot, while the FriXion® Black outsole helps you to grip against smoother surfaces and at more challenging angles.
What are their features?
The Tarantula Boulder shoes have a velcro fastening, making them easy to get on and off and allowing you to enhance the fit accurately.
These shoes have been built on a neutral last, making them suitable for various foot shapes. They have a half-sole that increases movement ability and sensitivity and allows easier resoling to improve overall longevity.
Heel hooking performance is enhanced with a prominent heel construction, and a rubber toe cap integrated into the rand surrounding the foot optimises toe hooking without the deadly feeling you're crushing your little piggies on overhangs and technical routes.
