Most of our team climbs the first two years in a flat shoe like the Ledge. Downturned shoes come later, for steep walls.
Nadia, head setter
A slightly downturned shoe for steep problems and precise footwork. The Hook is the next step up from a flat beginner shoe, with a closer fit that keeps your foot locked over small holds.
It laces up for a snug, adjustable fit and uses the same 4mm rubber as the rest of the range, so it handles plastic and gritstone alike.
