Alpha Boreal

ALPHA BOREAL

The Alpha is very similar to the climbing shoe Joker although simpler and without extravagances but without losing comfort. It is ideal for beginners or as second pair comfortable and cheap.

The Alpha has the same comfortable and semi-asymmetric shape as the Joker model. A low tension bib means that there is less unwanted pressure on the foot and the footwear maintains its shape over time. The cut of micro fiber without lining gives a feeling of comfort to the contact with the skin as soon as it is removed from the box.

The mid-stiffness midsole combined with the Zenith Quattro rubber provides the ideal blend of support in quarters and friction for a long time. Alpha provides durable and comfortable footwear, ideal for any beginner in this sport.

FEATURES:

• Upper: Microfiber. Fast double strap closure system. Padded CHS heel for extra comfort.
• Construction: Slip-Lasted.
• Midsole: Special anti deformation midsole.
• Sole: Ultra sticky Boreal ZENITH Quattro outsole. 4-4.5 mm thickness depending on size.

TECHNOLOGIES:

Cushioned Heel System

Boreal developed the Cushioned Heel System (CHS). When climbing all day, normal rock boots become tiring very quickly as the thin, sensitive nature of their construction does little to protect the foot. With the Boreal Cushioned Heel System (CHS) an EVA shock absorbing insert under the heel cushions and protects the foot with no loss of climbing performance. This means that walking between routes and stepping off the rock onto hard, uneven surfaces can be achieved in comfort.

Integrated Rand System

The IRS system goes a step further in the manufacturing of climbing shoes. The innovative one-piece sole and rand construction of the Integrated Rand System (IRS) allows Boreal to finely tune the rubber thickness around the shoe for the optimum balance of fit, performance and durability. By combining the rand and sole unit into one piece, there is zero chance of delaminating.

Zenith

Zenith rubber is a high performance rubber developed by Boreal. Zenith is designed for no-compromise performance, and features incredible friction properties combined with an ability to hold micro edges. This ultimate compound is featured on our highest performance rock shoe models.
