This stiff shoe is an all-day workhorse that also performs well on edges and slabs. Named after a Japanese single-edged sword, these sharp-end shoes suit experienced climbers with acute footwork skills. Slip lasted, they give you the performance of a lined shoe with the comfort and sensitivity of one that's unlined.
Uppers are made of leather and Lorica® synthetic leather
Partially lined, with slip-lasted tube construction
Asymmetric shape provides power to the toe to defeat micro nubbins or foolishly thin edges
Midsole has a P3 power platform for added cutting power
Sole is 4mm Vibram® XS Edge™ rubber which is more durable and edges better than XS Grip rubber
