Combining the technical capability of a high-performance sport climbing shoe, with the fan favorite rubber from Unparallel, the Unparallel Up Lace shoes are like the not-so-secret love child between the La Sportiva Miura and Five Ten Anasazi Pink, due to their looks and stiff shoe performance. Already a firm favorite among outdoor steep wall climbers, the Unparallel Up Lace shoes are for those who love a , thanks to the speed lacing system, generous rubber rand and stiff midsole. For climbers wanting support from their climbing sole alongside a decent sticky rubber, they’re some of the on the market.
There are many reasons why you should care about the sole of your climbing shoe – for starters, it’s the reason you may stick or come off the rock. The Unparallel Up Lace is a stiffer shoe that’s perfect for edging, and smearing thanks to the use of Unparallel’s harder rubber compound. The Unparallel RH (Real Honor) sole is much more resilient and a stiffer rubber than the RS (Real Supreme) rubber that’s found in the company’s more sensitive sole shoes such as the Unparallel Flagship.
The Unparallel Up Lace shoes are at their best when leading the way on steep terrain, feeling perfectly at home on slippery rock surfaces such as limestone and when trusting small protrusions in the rock. They’re also ideal for edging – using the sides and other parts of the shoe to find grip on the most unlikely of surfaces. The Unparallel RH (Real Honor) rubber is a longer lastin.
