Salewa Firetail 3 GTX Approach Shoe – Women’s

From mild days in the mountains to romping around the desert floor, explore nature in waterproof, breathable comfort with the Salewa Women’s Firetail 3 GTX Approach Shoe. The Gore-Tex membrane blocks the water from getting in while simultaneously allowing moisture to escape for a dry, comfortable fit and feel, and the mesh upper keeps things lightweight. Where this shoe really shines is on the bottom, where an insanely grippy Vibram Reptile rubber outsole resides to keep you cruising over snow, ice, mud, grass, and any combination of rocky terrain you can find.

Arc’teryx Arakys Approach Shoe – Women’s

The Arc’teryx Women’s Arakys Approach Shoe eliminates the need to bring along a pair of climbing-specific shoes when you go for lunch break gym climbs and quick after-work boulder missions. This innovative approach shoe is made for crossing technical terrain, but more than holds its own when bouldering, doing single-pitch climbs, or tackling quick routes on the gym wall.

The air permeable ripstop upper is tough, yet breathable, and a stretchy Adaptive Fit Lite liner conforms to your foot to eliminate hot spots, reduce break-in time, and provide a more secure fit. It also sports a collapsible heel so you can wear the Arakys as a laid-back slipper when you’re on belay. The leather footbed allows barefoot comfort, while the EVA midsole cushions your step when you’re hiking to a faraway crag for a bigger climbing mission. Vibram’s Light Approach outsole provides sure-footed grip on muddy trails and granite walls alike, and the MegaGrip rubber compound offers the right blend of durability, flex, and rigidity needed to handle everything from quick climbs to long approaches.

Boreal Diabola Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Moderately downturned, Boreal’s Diabola Climbing Shoe serves senders looking to step up their game on harder, steeper boulders and routes. Its slightly asymmetric shape enhances power without losing overall comfort, and the Slip Fit last gives a lower, narrower volume for a women-specific shape. Boreal reinforced the split leather upper and double hook-and-loop straps with sturdy Lorica to reduce stretching and increase longevity. The Diabola also features a padded tongue for forefoot comfort while crack climbing, and the soft midsole works with the grippy FS-Quattro rubber sole to ensure solid traction on edges, slabs, and overhangs.

Evolv Shakra Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Some people prefer going to yoga or seeing their therapists to relieve life’s stresses, but you’d rather head to the boulder fields, slip into the Evolv Women’s Shakra Climbing Shoe, and pull on rocks until your hands are raw. The Shakra boasts the same Love Bump and Knuckle Box as Evolv’s high-performance Shaman—you know, the shoe worn by Chris Sharma when he sends the hardest sport routes—except it has a lower volume to fit narrower feet better. The Shakra also has a softer midsole than the Shaman for more versatile performance on less steep routes.

Scarpa Maestro Climbing Shoe – Women’s

You can battle your way up big walls like a warrior, or you can dance with each pitch with the smoothness of a harmonious orchestra. The Women’s Maestro Climbing Shoe is Scarpa’s baton for smearing up The Nose’s slabby lower half and vertical, edgy upper half. This climbing shoe boasts a masterful balance of technical performance and long-lasting comfort. It’s one of the few climbing shoes out there that uses different rubbers in the heel and toe; Vibram’s XS Edge amplifies the toe’s technique on vertical, crimpy climbs, while a more flexible Vibram XS Grip enhances the heel’s smearing on slabby pitches. A sole this unique deserves an equally innovative upper, so Scarpa made it out of an original, three-panel design with leather where you want some stretch to conform to your foot, and microfiber where you don’t want stretch. The upper also had an IPC Tension rand to retain the shoe’s original, slight downturn for life. A slight downturn gives enough power for tough cruxes, and still stays comfortable when the pitch seems to never end. Scarpa also added a full-length midsole for the support necessary on long multi-pitches.
