Innovative shoe designed for all-day performance and comfort. The specially designed tread pattern and shock absorbing heel unit make them perfect for approaches and walk-outs, while the ‘Frixion’ rubber sole compound offers superb grip on rock. Unique intergrated lacing system guarantees perfect wrapping of the foot while locking the heel in place. The perfect shoe for big routes in the mountains or those who prefer a bit more comfort at the crag.?
The Rock Jock was probably designed with Alpinism or big walling in mind, but it's a brilliant idea for so much more than that. A shoe which has enough technicality to perform well on the climb, and yet is comfy enough to wear for the approach and descent from the route. A thick anti-shock layer (the yellow stuff under the heel) helps you to walk around in them all day, and the moulded out sole gives plenty of grip on wet grass and mud. The out sole is a wonderful mix of flat climbing rubber on the toe, and cleats and grooves on the heel. Unlike some other shoes in this class, it doesn't have two different soles glued together, it has a sole unit which has been designed specifically for the purpose. The lacing system is... unusual. It basically laces right down to the toe, but from the toe area, it then feeds it's way up the outside of the laces, and around the back of the ankle, ensuring you get a snug fit on your heel. You should be able to just about see this in the picture. It also laces itself through the laces (impossible to explain properly, but relatively obvious in the picture). ?

Having large feet, I have trouble finding confortable rock shoes that fit me. My last pair of shoes, I couldnt have on for more than one climb before taking them off. Whereas these, I found for £20 in a reduced basket, are the most comfy rock shoes ever! I can wear socks inside!!
Whilst they may not be the most technical shoes on the market, for the grades I climb they are perfect for all day multi-pitching. I would not leave home without these in my rucksack, I have 2 other pairs of shoes and these win every time for comfort.
