Unparallel have designed the Up Rise VCS LV to balance edging and smearing power with a comfortable flat profile that excels on technical slab but still feels at home on steep routes and crack climbing. The shoe is finished with two velcro straps that easily pull the shoe tight for a tensioned fit making the shoe perfect for training at the gym or a day at the crag.
Constructed with an Lined synthetic upper, the Up Rise VCS LV maintains it's shape and stiffness even as the shoe molds to the shape of your foot. The Up Rise features a full RH rubber sole and a VD rubber toe patch, the tough RH rubber allows climbers to stick to barely-there edges with absolute precision, while the VD rubber toe patch is a softer rubber that sticks to awkward toe hooks and locks into place in a crack.
The Unparallel climbing shoe has a flat profile and medium-stiff midsole making the Up Rise VCS LV a precise shoe, perfect for climbers looking for confidence in technical edging, and a great training shoe.
The Up Rise VCS LV combines comfort and precision with a flat last, medium-stiff and synthetic upper for long-lasting versatile performance, all in a shoe that balances durability and friction for superb performance when edging and smearing.
