Andrea Boldrini Lynx
Andrea Boldrini
A high-top lace-up built for long days in cracks and on big walls. The Lynx extends above the ankle to protect the malleolus from jamming abrasion - a feature almost no other modern climbing shoe offers. The flat profile and relaxed rand keep toes comfortable through multi-pitch sessions, while a full midsole provides the support needed for standing on small edges hour after hour. Tubular lace loops speed up tightening, and the 4.5mm Formula Tractor sole is hard-wearing enough for granite rough-housing. 100% microfiber upper, handmade in France.
Best For
Best for trad multipitch on slab and vertical terrain. Aimed at intermediate climbers.
