Designed and built on a hand-shaped, downturned last by Fred Nicole, TORQUE LV features a durable and comfortable, unlined vegan microsuede upper with an elastic integrated tongue and pulltab. The shape of the toe is ideal for precise footwork. The rubber is thick enough to feel stable but thin enought to maintain sensitivity. The fishhook midsole is composed of a proprietary pressed fiberboard. The unique single strap velcro closure gives you the freedom to change the direction of tension from ankle to mid-foot area to the base of the forefoot. The outsole is split and features Vibram XS GRIP rubber for durability while including generous toe/heel rubber coverage. The heel rubber extends to the top of the shoe. The unique width of the heel rubber enables this are to have the perfect balance of rigidity for maintaining solid heel hooks while allowing sensitivity and just enough flex. TORQUE LV is ideal for outdoor/indoor bouldering needs - specifically large volume climbing as well as sport climbing and steeper terrain like it's counterpart TORQUE RV.

Industry Defining Rubber

High performance Vibram XS GRIP climbing rubber is great for long wearing grip, good shape stability, edging, durability, and excellent performance in all around climbing conditions.

Heel Performance

The unique width of the heel rubber enables this area to have the perfect balance of rigidity for maintaining solid heel hooks while allowing sensitivity and just enough flex.

Tension Options

The unique single strap velcro closure gives you the freedom to change the direction of tension from ankle to mid-foot area to the base of the forefoot.

Fishhook Midsole

The fishhook midsole is composed of a proprietary pressed fiberboard creating a semi-stiff toe while the rubber outsole maintains the mountain goat shape of Torque RV allowing for flexion in the midfoot while also releasing pressure.

Vegan Microsuede

Durable and comfortable, the unlined vegan microsuede upper features an elastic integrated tongue and pull tab.

Stability + Sensitivity

The shape of the toe is ideal for precise footwork. The rubber is thick enough to feel stable but thin enough to maintain sensitivity.

Create/Design

We’ve spent the last two years (and maybe a little longer) concepting, designing, and sampling with Fred Nicole – a true climbing hero and expert in the field.

Refining

Non-stop meetings with Fred, including joining him in Switzerland, as well as factory visits during line production and frequent, in-depth communication with our manufacturers were imperative to ensure all the details were there.

Testing

It was important to get the technical aspects spot on whether you’re climbing indoors, competing, or out in the elements. Our new shoes models have endured rigorous testing from indoor and outdoor climbers.
