Boreal Ace review

Who should buy the Boreal Ace

The Boreal Ace may still be a decent pair to invest in, thanks to its set of send-worthy attributes. It is a solid option if you:

• Prefer an all-around rock climbing shoe that gives senders comfort and performance on long routes and trad climbs.
• Prefer a climbing shoe that renders grip on most rock surfaces.
• Prefer a climbing shoe that supplies the user with a supportive platform on vertical terrain.

Delivers friction on most rock surfaces

The Boreal Ace sports a trademarked 4.6 to 5.2mm FS Quattro outsole. Its abrasion-resistant rubber construction delivers friction on most rock surfaces. The brand also engineered this component to handle any changes in temperature.

Excellent underfoot support

The Ace sports a board lasted-construction. It also employs a full insole and a medium-stiff midsole. These components work in unison to give the wearer underfoot support, especially when climbing micro-edges.

Optimize breathability and limit the shoe from stretching

Wrapping around the user’s foot is the Boreal Ace’s low-top split-leather upper. It comes with a full canvas lining and lateral anti-stretch stitching. These features optimize breathability and limit the shoe from stretching.

Secure fit

Its lace-up closure employs seven pairs of eyelets to help the wearer manage the shoe’s fit. 

Easy to wear

The collar’s back has a pull tab which provides easy on and off to the user.
