  • Sport climbing
  • Indoor climbing

Why we love it

The women's Otaki is not simply a smaller version of the men's shoe – it's a distinct construction with its own character. The thicker LaSpoFlex 1.8 mm midsole makes the shoe more forgiving on longer sessions without sacrificing precision on small holds. The Vibram XS Grip 2 outsole leans into friction and adaptability across varied surfaces, while the S-Heel construction keeps heel hooks locked and deliberate. A shoe that gives back more the harder you push it.

Features

• Vibram® XS Grip 2: The natural evolution of the world championship-winning XS Grip compound – optimised for friction, adaptability, and consistent grip across varied surfaces and temperatures. Particularly effective on slopers, volumes, and textured rock.
• S-Heel Construction: Patented heel design built specifically for heel hooking – wraps the heel cup closely and adapts to any surface, delivering a stable, locked sensation on demanding hooks.
• P3 System™ – Permanent Power Platform: Patented construction that preserves the shoe's downturned shape over time – preventing the midsole arch from flattening and maintaining consistent performance throughout the shoe's lifespan.
• LaSpoFlex Midsole: A 1.8 mm insert at the anterior – providing more substantial metatarsal support than the men's version for improved endurance and comfort on longer sessions, without sacrificing sensitivity on small holds.
• Structured toe patch: Reinforced rubber coverage over the toe box for reliable grip on toe hooks – effective on steep indoor terrain and outdoor rock alike.
• Can be resoled: Bring your shoes to our shop and we will take care of the rest.
