Aggressive downturn and high sensitivity. The Zenist features a very aggressive downturn and moderate asymmetry. Additionally, they have a 3.5 mm thin, two-part sole construction that makes the shoe relatively soft and flexible. This makes them particularly suitable for steep overhangs like training boards or for standing on friction, as required by many modern boulder problems. The moderate camber facilitates heel hooking, further enhancing the shoes' performance on overhangs.

Performance Fit: If you prefer a snug fit and want your shoes to be more comfortable from the start, add half a size compared to your street shoe.

Comfort Fit: If you value a comfortable fit for multi-pitch routes or are a beginner climber, add one to one and a half sizes to your street shoe.
