What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The So iLL Step RV is the ideal step up from rental shoes. The flat last with a slight downturn at the toe makes it comfortable but supportive, which is great for building climbing technique. The vegan microsuede upper is soft yet durable, and I appreciate the z-strap-it keeps things simple but secure. This shoe is also easy to slip on, thanks to the padded tongue and dual pull tabs, making it perfect for gym or outdoor sessions."Designed as the perfect step up from rental shoes, the So iLL Step RV Climbing Shoe gives beginner and intermediate climbers the ideal blend of comfort and support. Created by legendary climber Fred Nicole, this shoe is crafted on a flat last with a slight downturn, providing a balance of comfort and performance that helps us develop solid climbing technique.
