RED CHILI MATADOR ROCK SHOE – ROCK’N’ROLL’N’ROCK

Check it out hombre, what you see is what you get. The all new Matador is uncompromising, red, angry and perfect. This is the shoe for action climbers, for boulderers or sports masters, the shoe for the best.

Designed and revised by Stefan Glowacz and Daniel Hrozek along with Red Chili’s latest signing the awesome and exacting Andi Bindhammer, the Matador has been tested, fine tuned and proven by the rest of the core Red Chili team and has met all their most demanding expectations.

Design-wise the super-tensioned, toe down last combines with a lo-stretch synthetic upper forcing the foot forward into the toe of the Matador and making for peerless purchase even at extreme angles. At the same time externally the triple Velcro straps keep the rest of the foot perfectly anchored yet allow quick and easy adjustment – while underfoot the sensitive midsole provides amazing feedback from the rock without sacrificing power or torsional stability. The Matador also comes with extended, profiled arch rubber for awesome scummin’, an almost perfect heel cup and over the toe bonus rubber gives as much hookin’ power as you will ever need. Caramba!
A design masterpiece, the Matador is Red Chili’s most advanced shoe ever and the most precise and powerful shoe around.
