Innovative styling for maximum gripping ability. The patented X-2 rubber is directly pre-tightened to the heel cup via a strap to ensure the shoes hold their form. The radically down turned claw like toe and aggressive slingshot rand mold your foot into the optimum grabbing tool for those tricky toe or heel hooks. It's the preferred climbing shoe for competition climbers in China.

A Review of the Lizard by Stikkit

The first thing I noticed about this shoe was its look. I had never seen a design like this one.

After taking in the mysterious rubber flap under the shoe, I focused on its other details. This shoe is truly designed for overhanging and it was on this type of climb that I most appreciated its potential.

I found the adjustability of the toe area perfect. The precision is incredible. One truly feels in perfect control on the holds. This sensation is a little less pronounced when on a vertical surface. The flap under the shoe may create a tension that becomes painful over time. I don't even want to imagine someone using these shoes to face climb or slab.

With respect to hooks, the Lizard has no equal. This shoe allows a good hook for both the toes and the heel. Congratulations on the ribbed heel. I love it!

A word about the X2 rubber. It sticks! One couldn't ask for much more. Very good performance on this point.
