Ace

Revitalize your climbing experience with the Boreal Ace, a meticulously crafted climbing shoe that harmoniously blends comfort and precision, making it an ideal companion for climbers tackling a variety of terrains—from traditional routes to challenging crack climbs. Designed with a neutral aggressiveness and low asymmetry, the Boreal Ace caters to both novice and experienced climbers seeking a versatile shoe that excels in diverse environments. Its stiff construction provides the support necessary for extended climbs while maintaining a level of sensitivity that allows climbers to feel the nuances of their foot placements. At the heart of the Boreal Ace’s performance lies its innovative use of Zenith Pro rubber, renowned for its exceptional grip and durability. This premium rubber compound ensures outstanding performance on slab surfaces, allowing climbers to confidently navigate vertical terrain with ease. The lace-up closure system not only allows for a customizable fit but also enhances the shoe's overall stability, essential for tackling the nuances of edging and smearing. While the shoe performs well in these areas, it is particularly noteworthy for its excellent capabilities in crack climbing, where its robust design and stiff sole provide optimal support during demanding placements. The Boreal Ace shines in its ideal use cases, making it a formidable choice for traditional climbs, multi-pitch routes, and crack techniques. While it offers good to great performance across different climbing styles—including vertical and slab climbing—it also holds its own in challenging situations like toe and heel hooking, albeit with moderate effectiveness. This versatility makes it a reliable option for climbers seeking a single shoe that can adapt to various conditions without compromising comfort. The shoe's stiff build contributes to its overall performance, especially when navigating edges or smearing on less-than-ideal footholds. Comfort is a cornerstone of the Boreal Ace, rated an impressive 8 out of 10, ensuring that climbers can focus on their ascent without distraction. The leather upper conforms to the foot over time, providing a snug yet comfortable fit that reduces the risk of hotspots during long climbs. Sizing considerations are straightforward, as the shoe is designed to accommodate a range of foot shapes, making it accessible for climbers of all levels. What truly sets the Boreal Ace apart is its unique blend of comfort, performance, and versatility, making it a standout choice for climbers looking to enhance their skills while enjoying the natural world.
