The Tarantula is an unlined leather climbing shoe with an asymmetric shape for advanced performance. The RN45 shoe shape is great for upper-end performance without hurting your toes. The synthetic leather overlay lacing harness adds great support for entry to mid-level climbers and the unlined leather is comfortable and soft. The aggressive rubber heel rand lets you stand in micro edges and the FriXion® RS rubber is hard-wearing yet sticky for long life. An overall great shoe for gym climbers and outdoor climbers that need a one-quiver shoe that does it all.
