Andrea Boldrini Pantera Light
Andrea Boldrini
A light, stripped-down microfiber slipper for bouldering, built on Andrea Boldrini's more aggressive PG+ last with a moderate downturn for precision and toe power on overhangs. A 4.5 mm Formula Enduro half-sole and moderate flex keep it sensitive and wrapping, while the unlined microfiber upper makes it fully vegan and resoleable. Handmade in France.
Best For
Best for bouldering and sport climbing on vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.
