Design Highlights

Speed Laces

Speed Laces give you full control and convenience. The tube-style system allows for fast adjustments whenever you need power and/or comfort. It’s the most customizable fit you can get in a climbing shoe.

Design

Stiff Tongue

An EVA-padded tongue locks your foot down over the footbed, boosting support and generating more power through the toe. Comfort meets control.

Technology

Leather

The Phoenix’s leather upper isn’t just tough — it breaks in with you. The perforated leather upper breathes better, holds up longer, and shapes to your foot for a custom fit that gets better every session.

Design

Science Friction 3 Rubber

Made in California, our primary rubber formula is stickier, tougher, and smarter. Boasting higher friction, stronger tear resistance, and better memory, SF3 is built to perform.

Technology

Usage

The Phoenix is our go-to for long days on the wall — sport or trad, gym or crag. Its supportive build reduces foot fatigue, keeping you comfortable when the burns get long.
