Climbing Shoes Project by Eric Wang

Select your shoe type(s) based on activity/sport.



Climbing shoes are generally categorized in three ways: Neutral, Moderate, and Aggressive.

  • Neutral shoes are the most similar to standard shoes, with a flat design and stiff soles that provide the most support and comfort.
  • Moderate shoes have a downturned shape and thinner soles. This allows the toes to curl downward and essentially hook small protrusions in rocks. The thin soles are made up of stickier rubber which provide grip and more sensitivity.
  • Aggressive shoes are extremely downturned with even thinner soles. The sharp downturn improves hooking power and provides greater heel tension for pulling off difficult techniques. The thin soles provide greater grip and feel.

Rating and Price are two factors that can be used to quantify value in the process of finding a cost-efficient shoe.
