The North Face - Dankyu Pro X Katiyo - Sneakers

The sneaker that can climb!

I beg your pardon? A pair of sneakers that you can also climb or boulder with? The Dankyu Pro X Katiyo are a completely new type of shoes from The North Face: the sneaker that can climb! This is the manufacturer's claim! Their layout and design combine the best of everyday, comfortable sneakers with the features of climbing shoes. In order to achieve this, the Dankyu Pro X Katiyo have been designed in cooperation with the professional route setter Tonde Katiyo.

Sneakers and climbing shoes in one

The upper is made from laser-perforated suede and recycled mesh fabric, making it reminiscent of a sneaker design. However, the lacing and the adjustable strap which secures the fit around your instep are taken from the world of climbing. In addition, the tongue has extra padding in the service of a comfortable but tight fit. Plus, the heel is reinforced, while a sticky rubber toe cap adorns the forefoot. The Routesetter Pro are a climbing shoe and sneaker hybrid that combine the essential elements of two worlds, making it ideal for indoor climbers and professionals in bouldering, climbing and route building who want to try out their own creations without changing shoes.
