Helix Climbing Shoes - Women's

About this find

The Helix is built for rock climbing, with a neutral climbing shoe shape, a board-lasted build, and a suede leather upper. Its 3.5 mm Vibram XS Edge rubber outsole gives you grip on the rock, and the lace-up closure runs all the way to the toe so you can dial in a snug fit that suits many different foot shapes.

The heel fit has been improved, and a light heel cup adds some cushioning for longer days on the wall. The flat last and board-lasted construction help keep things comfortable through a full session. Because the shoes can be resoled, you can replace the rubber when it wears down rather than buying a new pair.

These shoes are a good pick for women who spend time climbing outdoors or in the gym and want a dependable shoe with a fit they can adjust. A pair weighs 14.2 ounces, so they won't feel heavy in your climbing bag. Wear them with thin socks or none at all for the closest fit to your foot.
