| Can there be such a thing as a “classic sport climbing shoe?” As much as that is a contradiction in terms, we think we hit the target, balancing all-day comfort with shredding performance. The classic split leather upper Plush padding is the order of the day: The ankle, heel cuff and tongue cradle your feet with 2mm of polyurethane foam, and the entire shoe is lined with brushed polyester to help keep the perspiration down and allow for a degree of stretch. The tongue is an all new Mad Science design: Anatomically molded, 3-D, and gusseted to minimize slipping and maximize breathability, comfort and superior fit. Comfort at the expense of performance, however, is just plain wrong—so we hopped this shoe up with great attributes like medium-stiff midsoles for edging and cracks, high toe rands for jamming and hooking; and of course there’s our super sticky Formula #5 rubber for the grip you need. The Frenzy—a paradox in the form of an all-day, all-around performance rock shoe.
