Miura: Designed for intermediate to high-performance climbing, the Miura excels at thin face and traditional climbing. It features a pointed toe shape, moderate-to-large downturn, and high asymmetry (PD75 last), allowing for precise edging and power transmission. The firm heel tension is well-suited for crack climbing, while a tight heel fit delivers high-performance. With a low/narrow volume, the Miura provides a sensitive, responsive feel on the rock, rated at 3 out of 5 for surface sensitivity. At a stiffness of 4 out of 5, it offers support and stability for technical climbs. The shoe is fully lined and equipped with a 4mm Vibram XS Edge/Classic sole for reliable grip.

Tarantula: This all-around, comfort-focused shoe is suitable for beginner to intermediate climbers. The rounded toe shape, flat profile, and low asymmetry (RL45 last) provide a more accommodating fit and a comfortable feel for longer sessions. With a firm handshake heel tension and a medium-high/average-wide volume, the Tarantula offers a balance of support and flexibility. Its surface sensitivity is rated at 1 out of 5, and it has a stiffness of 4 out of 5, making it a durable and stable choice for all-around climbing and gym use. The unlined construction and 5mm FriXion RS/Classic sole add to the shoe's versatility.

Aragon: Designed for versatile all-around rock and gym climbing, the Aragon features a pointed toe shape, moderate downturn, and medium asymmetry (PN45 last). This combination provides a more precise toe box compared to a pure beginner shoe, while still maintaining comfort and accommodating a medium/average width foot. The firm handshake heel tension, medium-high/medium volume, and 3 out of 5 surface sensitivity rating make the Aragon a suitable choice for beginner to intermediate climbers.
