The white marks on the outer box, which look like scratches, are just part of the print and are not damage. The size feels similar to the TN-Pro and FLAGSHIP, according to impressions. High-rigidity down-toe shoes developed primarily for rock climbing, based on "Regulus": ・High-rigidity sole flex supports the toes. ・Newly developed 3D RS Toe patch for excellent toe hook performance. ・Newly developed low-stretch rand rubber, combined with the 3D RS Toe patch, provides three-dimensional rigidity to the toe box. ・Heel cup rigidity and shape for excellent heel hook performance on small holds. ・Arch support slingshot enhances the fit of the arch, and the simple and durable single velcro and slip-on body fit the entire foot securely, smoothly transmitting the climber's input in all footwork. ・Development cooperation: Ryuichi Murai (Team ROKDO) QUBIT is a model developed for rock climbing, based on "Regulus." The combination of a high-rigidity midsole and RH rubber outsole, which balances friction and rigidity, works with the down-toe last (foot shape) to support input to the toes. The newly developed 3D RS Toe patch provides excellent toe hook performance, and when combined with the newly developed low-stretch rand rubber, provides three-dimensional rigidity to the toe box. Furthermore, the arch support slingshot, which firmly supports the arch, and the UP-rise type heel cup shape provide a great fit and a reliable weapon for severe heel hooks. The non-lining synthetic leather used for the upper provides excellent fit and direct feel. QUBIT, with its balance of flexibility and rigidity, will be a new weapon for rock climbing.
