THE ZENIST WAS DESIGNED FOR THE COMPETITION CLIMBER WHO NEEDS THE MOST FEEDBACK FROM THEIR SHOES DURING PRECISE FOOT PLACEMENTS AND DELICATE HEEL & TOE HOOKS. THE VEGAN SYTHETIC UPPER BUILT ON AN AGGRESIVELY PROFILED LAST WILL ENSURE YOUR FOOT IS ALWAYS IN A POWER POSITION AND THAT THE SHOE WILL NOT STRETCH TOO MUCH OVER TIME. THE MIDSOLE FEATURED IN THE ZENIST IS A RUBBER MIDSOLE THAT PROVIDES JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF RIGIDITY WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE SENSISTIVITY. WHEN WINNING THE COMPETITION IS ON THE LINE FEEDBACK FROM YOUR SHOES CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND COMPETING.
