I have been a big fan of Boreal since day one in the USA. Every first ascent I have done on rock but two and EVERY solo worth mentioning I did in Boreals. You'll hear more about the Ice Mutant fruit boot I have been using later in the fall as the temps drop. But here is a primer on the new rubber on my boots and on the newest rock shoes. Some pretty amazing stuff!.

yes it looks quite sticky, but how do they wear? does this stickiness only appear as a residue or outer layer of the rubber? I will have to see it in my hands and try them to believe it.
Marcello, let me know what you think. My Mutants are sticky but they aren't a rock shoe either.
Having spent money on having shoes resoled even before first touching the rock in them I am always skeptical. But some real possibility here if the wear and edge hold is acceptable.
if i ever get a pair I will let you know
