Torque
£169.00
- Designed and built on a hand-shaped, downturned last by Fred Nicole, TORQUE features a durable and comfortable, unlined vegan microsuede upper with an elastic integrated tongue and pull tab. The shape of the toe is ideal for precise footwork. The rubber is thick enough to feel stable but thin enough to maintain sensitivity. The midsole is composed of a proprietary molded board at the outer edges and runs through the center of the toe box creating stiffness. This mountain goat hoof shape allows for flexion in the midfoot while also releasing pressure. The unique single strap velcro closure gives you the freedom to change the direction of tension from ankle to mid-foot area to the base of the forefoot. The outsole is split and features Vibram XS GRIP rubber for durability while including generous toe/heel rubber coverage. The heel rubber extends to the top of the shoe. The unique width of the heel rubber enables this area to have the perfect balance of rigidity for maintaining solid heel hooks while allowing sensitivity and just enough flex. TORQUE is perfect for all your outdoor bouldering needs as well as indoor bouldering - specifically large volume climbing.

Great product! It’s a little tight but I think they will stretch out and be super comfy in a month.
Saw these at the bouldering gym the other day and was in need of a new pair of indoor shoes, first impression while trying them on was a decent fit, I have a wide foot and one foot is also shorter, I don't down size too much for indoor shoes, but I also couldn't get my foot to squeeze into the size down that I would have prefered even with a plastic bag, it felt impossible maybe something todo with the extra rubber on the heel? Regardless I felt quite comfortable and was a nice tight fit, once I got climbing I was impressed with the agressive toe providing plenty of power even on my shorter foot I didn't find it slipping as long as I stayed engaged, the option to cross the strap for extra heel or toe engagement is great found it worked quite well, except the strap is about half and inch too long but no fuss, smearing on volumes in these shoes is great the soft mid sole provides plenty of flexibility to drop or raise your heels and smear away while feeling solid, the heel feels really solid didn't seem to move about at all, the extra rubber on the top of the shoe for toe hooks looks a little thin and looks like it might tear but it grips well, they felt like they broke in in one session at the gym which i havent decided if thats a good or a bad thing tell yet, the only downside I have from these is that the shoe is a tiny bit long maybe a centimetre for my foot, there is also very little sensitivity, but for someone with a wide foot to find Velcro shoes that fits comfortably for volume climbing in the gym this is fine. I also tried these shoes on some sandstone outdoors they performed just aswell as they did in the gym, possibly a great all rounder shoe, time will tell.
I didn't know what a proper fitting shoe felt like until I tried these. It feels as though they were made specifically for my feet.
Standing on small edges is EFFORTLESS, I have never felt more comfortable on the wall.
These shoes are just plain fun! They fit like a glove; hugging my foot with love and care. They are stiffer than the Street but I’m still aware of my foot placement making slips nonexistent. What else.. Beautiful color and can’t wait for tomorrow’s sesh! 🤙
Fit like a glove right out of the box, these shoes look and feel amazing.
First day using them and I’m stoked for the climbs to come.
