The fourth installment in the Sharma signature series, the Optimus Prime is designed on a last completely different to any other shoe available.

The symmetrical toe box allows maximum pressure to be asserted, even whist moving foot position on the steepest ground. The downcambered last and deep-fitting, stiff heel make the Optimus Prime the best choice for those who want precision placement for their hardest project, whatever the grade.

The shoe has found favour amongst many of the best climbers in the UK. Among them is Dave Barrans, who has just worn the shoe whilst becoming the 1st member of the British Bouldering Team ever to get a podium place at a World Championships.
