Ideal for beginners and with great value for your money: the Durango VCR by Red Chili.

 This comfortable Velcro shoe has a straight last and no pre-tensioning, so that even long routes and exhaustive training sessions are not a torture. Yet, with its RX-1 rubber sole, the Durango VCR keeps a good grip on the wall, allowing for secure steps on small footholds.

The high rubber edge takes pressure off the material of the shoe while still offering enough support when hooking. Its special design ensures an optimum fit for the heel, making it more comfortable to wear and keeping your feet from tensing - relaxed feet can hold out longer! Their double VCR-bands make it simple and quick to slip in and out - perfect both indoors and out on the cliffs.

The Red Chili Durango VCR ticks all the right boxes when it comes to comfort and versatility!

Sizing Guide

HOW TO MEASURE CORRECTLY

To determine the right size, use a tape measure or meter ruler to measure the length of both feet barefoot and in a relaxed position by standing with your heels against a straight wall and measuring the distance from the wall to your longest toe. For this we recommend that you stand on a piece of DIN-A4 paper and draw your foot with a pen. It is easier and more precise if you have a second person help you. Make sure your heels are lightly touching the wall. For sizing, use the result of the longer foot as a guide.

Foot length: In an upright, relaxed position, measure the length of both feet from the heel to the end of your longest toe.
