The Unparallel Lyra is an all-round performance climbing shoe with exceptional grip and aggressive heel and a toe box with a warp around randing for cruising up boulders.
The Lyra climbing shoe from Unparallel has all-round high-performance and comfort with an aggressive downturned last that excels on overhanging and edgy routes making it perfect for technical boulder, sports projects, and pushing the grades at the gym.
Constructed with a lined synthetic upper the Lyra fits right out of the box, without a traditional break-in period - and ensuring minimal stretch and lasting comfort. The Lyra has a medium stiffness midsole that supports the foot on tiny edges but has just the right amount of flex to lock into smears and conform to a volume. The Unparallel shoe is covered in 3.5mm RS rubber with wrap over randing for precise toe hooks and maximum grip anything from microscopic nubbins to volumes, so you can cruise up technical terrain with total confidence.
The shoes are constructed with a downturned profile which comfortably encourages your toes into a hooked position. The warp over randing covers half of the toe box while the shaping of the heel drives power to the toes and doesn't slip off during aggressive and technical toe or heel hooks. The V-shaped Velcro strap combines the precision tightening of laces with the ease of Velcro, pulling the snug and eliminating hotspots.
The Lyra is a performance-orientated shoe, that is perhaps the perfect gym shoe for all-round prowess on steeper, overhanging routes, slabs, and problems but can definitely hold its on outdoors.

A gift for my grandaughter. Initialy bought two pairs, as not sure of sizing.(5 and 6). She takes a size 5 in a shoe but it was the 6 in the "Unparallel Lyra Rock Climbing Shoe" that fitted her well. Am now in the process of returning the size 5 and so far no problems whatsoever.
She loves them and they have made the perfect gift for her.

Unparallel began making climbing shoes in the old Five Ten factory when Sang Lee founded the company in 2017. The shoes are expertly handcrafted by climbers for climbers using C4 high friction rubber that keeps shoes gripping for longer.
