The Niad VCS Climbing Shoe is designed for beginner climbers and craggers. It features a flat, low-curvature shape for all-day comfort, Stealth C4 rubber for optimal grip, and a medium-stiff midsole that provides support even when not tightly strapped. The unlined synthetic upper offers a soft, leather-like feel with less stretch. The shoe runs small; sizing up is recommended for the best fit.
