Developed from the previous incarnation of our highly acclaimed Kintaro, the shoe has evolved into a true high-performance all-rounder.

The all new last shape has been widened at the forefoot and narrowed at the heel. On the Women's model, the new last shape is designed to fit the contours of a lower volume foot, with a lower cut ankle and slim fitting heel. When combined with our high quality unlined leather upper, padded neoprene tongue and double width Velcro closure, this results in a highly secure and comfortable fit.

Our V2 Rand™, a 2-part rand that tensions a much larger area than conventional designs, provides the ultimate heel fit.

The soft midsole and sublime Zenith™ rubber allows the use of marginal smears, while the high degree of downturn and asymmetry helps direct power  to the big toe for those tiny edges.

Kintaro is precise, sensitive shoe that still manages to remain comfortable. It is ideal for steeper rock, and will suit boulderers, sport and trad climbers looking to operate at higher grades.
