Functional Technology
Youth Training Competition Model. Ultra-supple, sensitive upper crafted with HH63 ultra-soft sticky rubber. It minimizes foot compression and discomfort while boosting friction and edging grip on the instep. The heel and overall fit are tighter and more secure. The V8Y perfectly meets young climbers’ rigid demand for a climbing shoe that requires zero painful break-in yet delivers a snug, high-performance fit. A balance of performance and comfort. Provides comprehensive stable support, sensitivity, and friction for competitive climbing, sport lead, and bouldering. Delivers outstanding performance on small holds, slopers, and precision balance moves.
Outsole:
FriX Pro HH85 high-sticky rubber provides increased friction and stronger edge support. Performs exceptionally well on small holds, sloper balance moves, and more.
Forefoot Design:
E-Beak3 system maintains a natural arch inner inclination and a toe downturn posture. It forms a convex toe zone within the forefoot, improving toe support and sensitivity, and supports precise and powerful toe movements.
Support:
1.2mm U-shape forefoot support insole improves forefoot flexibility by 10-12% over 3D insoles. The sloper-contact molding expands the forefoot contact area for greater friction. Stable edge support enables precise footwork on small holds with consistent power output.
Last Type:
Low-volume F.F.C.FIT asymmetric last naturally maintains a moderate arched and toe-down foot position, improving toe sensitivity and supporting precise and powerful toe movements.
Upper Material:
Specifically developed ultra-fine fiber and a full-coverage 2mm FriX Pro HH63 ultra-soft sticky rubber sidewall eliminate unnecessary seams, providing flexibility and reducing foot pressure. Requires minimal break-in and delivers high-stick adhesion.
Upper Rubber (Back Lining):
Full-coverage 2mm FriX Pro HH63 ultra-soft sticky rubber back lining provides ample friction for heel hooks while minimizing the risk of delamination or damage.
Closure System:
Integrated slip-on high-elastic sock sleeve with a single Velcro strap for easy and effective tightness adjustment, providing optimal fit for different levels of routes.
