The Clue climbing shoe offers power on steep routes and security on slabs. It features a pre-tensioned downturn with slight asymmetry for enhanced power, and a Vibram XS Grip rubber sole for superior traction. The synthetic upper stretches about half a size for a better fit. A soft midsole provides sensitivity and flexibility, with the RC-Sense midsole insert adding edging support. The stretch tongue minimizes dead space, and a hook-and-loop strap ensures a secure fit.
