Rock+Run Size Suggestion:

Semi Technical Fit - Hard Trad Climbing, Mid-Grade Bouldering and Sport Climbing: drop 1 UK size from your street shoe for a snug fit that is still comfortable to wear for a full session.

Entry Level - Beginners or people who only climb a few times a year: buy your shoe size.
Featuring extensive use of recycled materials, but still offering the same level of comfort the Boreal Joker Lace is the perfect first shoe for beginners. Designed to be worn all day long, this sustainable shoe has a super-comfortable semi-asymmetric last with a slim fitting heel and low tension rand, and an upper of high quality split leather and synthetic recycled microfibre with a PU Air Net lining for exceptional comfort and breathability. There is a newly developed, specially shaped heel cavity filled with shock absorbing EVA for improved under foot cushioning, and the rubber used provides the ideal blend of edging support and long-lasting friction. The heel of the Joker lace is made from recycled rubber, while the toe is the specially formulated Zenith Quattro compound.
With the option of fitting the shoe the same as your street shoe size to wear all day, or down sizing for increased precision, the joker really is comfort and performance in one package. Making it suitable for both newcomers looking for a comfortable first pair, and more experienced climbers looking for a long route shoe.
