Wild Climb
The First Step is a medium-stiff, flat-lasted velcro kids' shoe from Wild Climb for sport climbing and bouldering. Wild Climb lists it as medium-width with a medium heel. In stock at 1 shop from 58.90 EUR.
A kids' and junior climbing shoe for first vertical steps. It has an extra-wide opening so young climbers can get it on and off easily, and no tight tension points that would pressure a developing foot. A flat, neutral last, single velcro strap and durable Wild Rubber Durability sole make it comfortable and hard-wearing for the gym. Vegan.
