About this product

The women's Gabbro 5 is cut on a narrower last with a lower instep, so it holds the foot firmly on small edges. Like the men's, it has Clast sticky rubber and a smooth climbing zone under the toe.

At 680g a pair in a UK 5, it has a rubber rand round the suede upper and lacing that runs to the toe. Most pairs go out of our Betws-y-Coed and Fort William stores.

Bristly Ridge in comfort
Wore them up Bristly Ridge and along the Glyder tops. Felt really secure on the rock, and the narrower fit meant no sliding about inside.
