Boreal Crux Gear News

The world of high-performance shoes can be confusing, each model focusing on a narrow aspect of climbing. Crux offers a refreshing change. Equally at home whether bouldering, sport climbing or trad climbing, Crux is the one shoe for all occasions.

Crux features a moderately downturned and asymmetric last shape, placing the foot into a powerful position to optimise small edges. The supple one-piece heel cup and wrap-rand provides unparalleled heel security when pulling hard.

The upper is a vegan friendly synthetic microfibre with recycled mesh tongue. The double strap closure provides a large, easy fit opening and secure closure.

The middle of the sole includes our recycled Eco rubber. Rubber coverage over the toes minimises stretch and enhances toe-hooking performance.
