Boreal Mutant 3.0

Boreal

Boreal's no-compromise all-round performance shoe for the hardest routes and boulders. Aggressively downturned with strong asymmetry, full toe and heel rubber and sticky Zenith Pro rubber, it finds friction everywhere - edges, smears, heel hooks and toe hooks - on steep terrain.

Best For

Best for bouldering and sport climbing on slab, vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at intermediate to advanced climbers.

Strengths & Trade-offs
