Boreal Synergy 2.0
Boreal
Boreal's modern competition slipper, refreshed with a lower-volume heel and updated hook-and-loop + elastic closure. Slip-lasted construction with NO midsole delivers maximum sensitivity for marginal smears and volume work. 4mm Zenith Ultra (Boreal's softest, stickiest compound) wraps the foot with a Wrap Rand and reinforced toe-hook rubber. Built for modern indoor bouldering, comp routes, and steep outdoor sport climbing where feel matters more than support.
Best For
Best for bouldering and sport climbing on overhang, roof and vertical terrain. Aimed at advanced to elite climbers.
