These shoes were engineered with the help of biomechanists to fit women's feet. Designed for progression and good grip on small holds.

Main Material

Arch shape, asymmetrical, and significant tension in the heel (moderate level). This shape includes a midsole to provide significantly greater precision and power during your movements on small holds. 
Please note: this shape is suited to highly technical climbing and may reduce foot comfort slightly (especially on Greek-shaped feet). This is why we have chosen a moderate level to combine comfort and performance.

Shoe shape

Thanks to our biomechanists, who analyzed scans of hundreds of female climbers' feet, we took into account the morphological specificities of women's feet to improve comfort and precision. 
This shoe consequently has a smaller metatarsal circumference and heel volume than the Men's Vertika to better fit women's feet.
That's not to say that it wouldn't also be perfectly suitable for men with narrow feet.

What does "engineered for women's feet" mean?

XS Grip Vibram® 4 mm (1/5") rubber
XS Grip is a soft, very grippy rubber for good traction, especially on flat or rounded holds.
We used a soft rubber on the heel to conform to holds and to grip well when you plant your heel.
We reinforced the sole with a midsole to provide support and power.

Sole

We chose to develop the shoe's upper with synthetic leather lining (thickness= 2.5 mm [1/10"]) to prevent the shoe from loosening over time. We designed the tongue component to be highly breathable and provide foot comfort.

Upper

Did you know? The better a rubber’s grip, the more it wears out, especially in indoor climbing. 
This is why we have chosen to work with Vibram, a recognized specialist in the market since 1937, and have carefully selected the rubber offering the best balance between durability and grip.
Our tests show that on average, rubber wears away in 6 months, on the front and/or top of the shoes. This can happen more or less quickly, depending on how you place your feet.

Wear-and-tear on the sole

Is your sole worn out? Don't throw away your shoe. It would be a shame ecologically and economically speaking. 
Visit our Decathlon shops to find out where to resole your shoe 
With your sole changed, you can continue climbing with the shoe already moulded to your feet. Warning: as soon as you see synthetic leather through the rubber, you should stop using it and get the sole repaired. If you pierce the synthetic leather, resoling will not be possible.

Resoling service

If you are a climber working to improve your skills, you can buy them tighter (1/2 -1 size below normal, for example), but it's important they don't hurt so that your foot can develop mobility, proprioception, and strength. 
If you are an advanced climber, we suggest you take the time to try different sizes (1 to 2 sizes below normal) to find the best compromise between comfort and compression for more force when pushing off.

Sizing recommendations

Our first piece of advice is to never (under any circumstance) machine wash your shoes. Thermal and mechanical stress could damage them. We recommend that you wash them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseille soap), being sure to air-dry them at a stable temperature and avoid drying them on a radiator or in direct sunlight.

Adjusts to fit all body types

Our design team has worked on every detail to provide comfort and freedom of movement:
1- Ergonomic design of the waistband and legs to conform as closely as possible to the human body;
2- Soft and elastic components with an internal waffle component to help manage perspiration;
3- A complex "EVA foam (3 mm [1/10"]) + 1 or 3 straps" to support weight well according to different areas;
4- A bonded assembly to reduce seams and therefore areas of discomfort.

Comfort details

➡The 2 gear loops on the front are wide, rigid, and outward facing for excellent accessibility to quickdraws and carabiners.
➡The 2 gear loops on the back are flexible to reduce areas of discomfort when the climber is wearing a backpack.
➡1 rear loop for those who like to hang their chalk bag directly on the climbing harness or haul rope on multi-pitch routes.
➡2 straps for hanging the ice screw holders.

Punch mitt dimensions

When you hold the punch mitt, you need a good grip and comfort. Its curved shape absorbs impact.
So we've added the following to our product:
- a rip-tab strap in addition to the glove. And if you want to use your hand, the punch mitt stays attached to your wrist.
- a mesh net covers your fingers and protects your knuckles
- a suede pad at the back to absorb wrist shocks and resist sweat

This pair of punch mitts combines comfort and protection

To give you a product that lasts, we've covered the impact zone with a PU coating designed to withstand friction and wear.
And to help you work on your accuracy, we've also added a target in the centre of the pad.

We've worked on the resistance of these punch mitts

If you want to improve in boxing, working with punch mitts is a must.
You work in pairs with a partner who wears the mitts and shows you the different targets to hit, while you move around (it's more fun and more challenging than a punch bag). You'll learn certain combinations and gain in precision and speed.
The variety of exercises you can do with punch mitts keeps you motivated.

How to work properly with punch mitts

Punch mitts are designed to exercise the fists and movement. If you're looking for a product that also allows you to work on your kicking, opt for a PAO (ref: 8844149).

We recommend you visit a professional workshop.

- Place a cloth on the skin area of ​​your skis.

- Use a waxing iron on the cloth to heat the skin and soften the glue.

- Remove the worn skin.

- Put the new skin in place, paying attention to the direction—the hairs should be facing the back of the ski.

We selected a technical yarn with a specific coating (PTFE) at the heel and toe to reduce friction and decrease the risk of blisters. These socks cannot guarantee 100% protection from blisters. Blisters usually form when your skin is weakened by friction from socks, shoes, or foreign objects like stones or sand. Dampness also plays an important role, as moisture weakens skin.
