Kubo (2023)

The unlined upper is surprisingly supple and broke in after just a couple sessions, molding perfectly to my foot. I can actually wear them for a full gym session without needing to rip them off between climbs.

The moderate downturn is just right—not too aggressive for all-day wear but still precise enough for edging on small holds. I've worn them for three sessions now and they're already molding to my feet nicely.

The moderate downturn on these is just right—holds my foot securely on small edges without cramping my toes on longer sessions. They're surprisingly soft right out of the box, which made them comfortable from the first climb.
