BOREAL Dharma Climbing Shoes

BOREAL Dharma is the pinnacle of climbing performance, developed in conjunction with our world climbing team. The aggressively downturned and asymmetric last shape combined with supportive midsole and BOREAL® Zenith Pro rubber mean that Dharma excels on the hardest, steepest climbs. Features: - The highly downturned and asymmetric last shape cradles the foot and maximizes power at the toe. The innovative Wrap Rand™ surrounds and supports the foot, while the triple strap closure system keeps everything secure. The lined, synthetic upper with integrated elastic tongue ensures a comfortable fit with minimal stretch. - An extended rubber patch over the toes and 3D moulded heel in our outstanding Zenith™ rubber result in exceptional toe and heel hooking ability, and the supportive midsole provides unsurpassed edging performance. Dharma is the ideal shoe for sport climbers and boulderers looking for the highest performance available on steep rock. Specifications: - Uppers: Microfibre upper and strap closure. Elasticated tongue integrated in the upper.

For vertical and overhanging climbs Technology: Wrap Rand: - The wrap rand takes the concept of our V2 Rand and develops it further. The rubber surrounds the arch of the foot and supports it in the optimum position for strength and precision. - In most rock boots, the heel is tensioned with a basic single band of rubber, which simply pulls and compresses the heel cup. Boreal have developed a more thorough tensioning system with the Wrap Rand. - A much wider area of the shoe is tensioned, with the strap running all the way under the foot and around the heel. This provides a stable, secure platform for the foot without compromising sensitivity or freedom of movement.
