The NINJA was the original unlined performance climbing slipper that got us thinking about thin cracks, thin edges, smeary routes and also specific training to get our foot and calf muscles strong. Use them for bouldering, gym climbing and special projects. This year's NINJA has been updated with a slightly more rounded toe and a tensioned "T" strap across the top - which puts rubber on both sides of the crack and also is useful for "under-toeing" holds. Slip them on for an impromptu bouldering session or pull 'elm out of your pack for making easy work of thin, "finger" crack problems. Half Tex on mid sole balances your need for sensitivity on knobs with predictable fore-foot support for edging. New FS-Quattro Soles are unbelievably sticky and firm - providing a good grip on all types of rock (and plastic). Keep your soles clean by brushing them prior to climbing with the handy SHOE TOOL (below). NINJA JR's have a velcro closure and is an excellent easy-in easy-out gym and crag shoe for your kids (tell us their running shoe size and we'll size them to fit for this and next season). Made in Spain, shipped anywhere on planet earth.

TOOL TIP: For a close performance fit, size down as follows: If you are a US 8 running shoe (UK 7) subtract 1 whole size (UK6).
