Tulson Tolf Qubit
Tulson Tolf
The Qubit is a midsole-free, slightly downturned velcro shoe from Tulson Tolf for sport climbing and bouldering. Tulson Tolf lists it as medium-width with a narrow heel.
The Qubit is Tulson Tolf's foldable climbing shoe for runners: light enough to carry in a vest pocket and change into from your running shoes when the climbing starts. It has a slight downturn, a velcro closure, no midsole and a 2 mm Vibram XS Grip sole, so it feels soft and thin rather than supportive. It suits sport climbing, bouldering and alpine running.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on slab and vertical terrain. Aimed at beginner to intermediate climbers.
Among the 469 adult climbing shoes we track, the Qubit ranks in the top 1% for sensitivity, the top 7% for smearing and the top 31% for comfort.

How the Qubit fits
