The new Mandala embodies the evolution of the No-Edge™ family. Facilitating the fluidity of natural movement in climbing in a way that only No-Edge™ technology can offer, the Mandala features a high-performance heel shape, a reinforced single strap, and a toe box covered with ultra-sticky rubber to provide inspiring security and confidence when using advanced techniques like heel and toe hooks, and heel-toe cams. Minimal materials separate your foot from the rock, ensuring high levels of reactivity and feedback for demanding low-percentage moves. The design of the Mandala offers optimized performance on the most complex routes, while fitting perfectly into the toe box to establish supreme grip on the worst imaginable holds.
Description
- The patented No-Edge™ technology provides you with the best contact surface between rubber and holds for maximum friction on a wide variety of hold shapes. Compared to traditional climbing shoes, the rounded toe allows for enhanced sensitivity, precision, and grip, with the foot fitting more closely to the irregularities of the holds.
- High coverage area and ultra-sticky rubber on the toe for the most extreme toe hooks.
- No-Edge™ provides increased rubber longevity, as the toe profile distributes wear more evenly.
- Slipper design with a single strap for optimal foot security during heel hooks.
- Balanced blend of support and sensitivity even when the shoe is faced with micro-holds.
