Boreal Nodab V7

Boreal

A soft, playful bouldering shoe with a comfortable last, a supple midsole and toe-hook rubber. The moderate downturn and sensitive build favour dynamic, modern moves on steep and indoor terrain over edging support. Versatile enough for general use but best suited to bouldering.
