Simond First Klimb
Simond
Decathlon's Simond First Klimb is a stiff, supportive shoe for occasional beginners taking their first routes. A straight, flat last follows the natural shape of the foot for comfort, while a rigid resin-rubber sole adds support and pushing power on small holds. A single Z-shaped velcro strap makes it easy to pull on and adjust. Fully synthetic and vegan.
