The Shaman lace was designed for the climber that has one thing in mind: edging power. The structure of the vegan synthetic upper and stiff heel rand forces your toes forward into a power position creating a shoe that begs to stand on small features on a steep face. The love bump midsole places your toes into a crimped power position, while the knuckle box provides room, so you do not smash your toes against the top of the toe rand, these two features work in parallel to eliminate dead space under your toes and creates a comfortable and powerful sensation out of the box. The asymmetric lacing system provides a custom fit for a wide variety of foot shapes.
