Description

Joker; our bestselling model is now in its third generation, and has been upgraded to offer an improved fit and features the use of more sustainable recycled materials. The latest Joker continues to offer climbers the very best combination of comfort, performance and value available.

Joker is built on a super-comfortable semi-asymmetric last with a slim fitting and rounded heel and low-tension rand. The upper is constructed from high quality split leather and synthetic microfibre, with recycled material content on the textile tongue and lining. The double strap closure with wide opening is fast and simple to put on and take off. The one-piece moulded heel is manufactured with recycled rubber, and incorporates a cavity filled with shock absorbing EVA for excellent foot cushioning.

The medium stiffness midsole is made using recycled material content, and combined with the sticky and durable Zenith Quattro 2.0 outsole provides the ideal blend of edging support and long-lasting friction. Joker is superbly versatile. Size normally for all-day comfort on long routes and extended sessions; size down for higher performance.

UK Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

To describe the Joker as a beginners model would massively undersell a shoe that has the ability to appeal to a much larger audience - that being anyone whose first priority is comfort. For low-mid grade routes and bouldering they're impressively versatile, with just enough stiffness to give a reassuring amount of support, but not too much to strip out the sensitivity. The fact they're made in the EU, and still manage to come in at an affordable price, makes them even more attractive. Unless you're looking for something to push your grade in, we'd suggest giving them some serious consideration.
