Combines comfort and performance: the Spirit climbing shoe from Red Chili

If you are looking for a climbing fin for alpine tours, multi-pitch routes or long indoor sessions, the Spirit and the low-volume model Spirit LV are the best choice. Red Chili has revised their luxury classic while maintaining the mix of comfort and performance.

The new Spirit & Spirit LV models from Red chili are 100% vegan in terms of sustainability. The inner lining and the antibacterial footbed made of hemp improve wearing comfort and at the same time prevent odors from forming. The Spirit climbing finches come with a neutral last and no downturn and are therefore a comfortable all-round model for long periods of use. Red Chili has retained the popular closure system with three Velcro fasteners, which can be used to individually adjust the climbing fins to the foot.

One classic, two fits

The spirit climbing finches from Red Chili are available in the regular version and as a low-volume model for everyone with narrower feet. The middle sole of the Spirit LV is also a bit softer, which can be an advantage for friction climbing.

Due to the symmetrical shape, the Spirit is not a climber who wants to force the toes forward into the toe box. Nevertheless, the support system in the heel cup ensures a comfortable heel hold. An effect that also affects the fit in the toe area.

The shoe choice for long adventures

The Red chili Spirt is designed as a climbing finch for multi-pitch routes, alpine tours or long indoor sessions. The successful construction ensures that the extra comfort is not at the expense of performance.

The Impact Zone wedge under the heel cushions the step and conveys an upright position. Especially in situations where you walk back to the entry in the climbing fins after a long climb or simply want to keep the shoe on in the hall, such comfort aspects can be quite pleasant.
