Wild Climb Pantera Soft
Wild Climb
A soft, sensitive performance shoe in the Pantera family, built for steep sport routes and bouldering. A downturned last and an ultrasoft forefoot midsole pair a supportive upper with a soft, sensitive sole, so it can stand on small footholds and still grip on overhangs. Vegan microfiber upper, Wild Rubber Performance sole.
