TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
SHOE SHAPE
The shape of the shoe is flat, with a low downturn. This makes it more suited to the shape of the foot and provides a lot of comfort.
The toe profile remains precise.
SOLE
XS GRIP Vibram® 4 mm rubber
The XS Grip is a soft and very grippy rubber for excellent traction, especially on flat or rounded holds.
WEAR-AND-TEAR OF THE SOLE
Did you know? The better a rubber’s grip, the more it wears out, especially in indoor climbing.
This is why we have chosen to work with a specialist recognised in the market since 1937, Vibram, and have carefully selected the rubber offering the best balance between strength and grip.
Our tests show that on average, rubber wears away in 6 months, on the front and/or top of the shoes. This can be more or less fast, depending on how you place your feet.
A WEAR INDICATOR TELLS YOU WHEN TO RESOLE YOUR SHOE.
To help you know when to resole without risking damage to the shoe, our engineers have developed a wear indicator in the shoe’s rand.
The wear indicator appears when 2/3 of the lining has been worn away, which will give you time to make an appointment to have your shoe resoled.
It should be noted that once resoled, your shoe will no longer have this wear indicator as it is in the original liner.
RESOLING SERVICE
Is your sole worn out? Do not throw away your shoe.
Visit our Decathlon stores to find out where to resole your shoe.
With your sole replaced, you can climb once again with the shoe already moulded to your feet.
Warning: as soon as you see synthetic leather through the rubber, you should stop using it and get the sole repaired. If you pierce the synthetic leather, resoling will not be possible.
SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
If you are new to climbing, we recommend choosing your street shoe size. The tips of your toes should touch the end of the shoe without hurting you.
If you are an intermediate climber, we recommend selecting a shoe size a little tighter than your everyday shoes (e.g. 1/2-1 size smaller) but it’s important they don’t hurt, so that your foot can develop mobility, proprioception, and strength.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our first piece of advice is to never (under any circumstance) machine wash your shoes. Thermal and mechanical stress could damage them. We recommend that you wash them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseilles soap), being sure to air-dry them at a stable temperate and avoid drying them on a radiator or in direct sunlight.
