REVIEW

Vertige Media -

"So iLL's Torque are a bit like these films that do not make noise when they are released, but become essential once they have been discovered. At first glance, they may not look very different from other climbing shoes. But as soon as we put them on and test them on the wall, we realize that they really have something special to offer."

Industry Defining Rubber

High performance Vibram XS GRIP climbing rubber is great for long wearing grip, good shape stability, edging, durability, and excellent performance in all around climbing conditions.

Heel Performance

The unique width of the heel rubber enables this area to have the perfect balance of rigidity for maintaining solid heel hooks while allowing sensitivity and just enough flex.

Mountain Goat

The mountain goat shaped midsole is composed of a thermo melting board at the outer edges and runs through the center of the toe box creating stiffness.

Tension Options

The unique single strap velcro closure gives you the freedom to change the direction of tension from ankle to mid-foot area to the base of the forefoot.

Vegan Microsuede

Durable and comfortable, the unlined vegan microsuede upper features an elastic integrated tongue and pull tab.

Stability + Sensitivity

The shape of the toe is ideal for precise footwork. The rubber is thick enough to feel stable but thin enough to maintain sensitivity.

Create/Design

We’ve spent the last two years (and maybe a little longer) concepting, designing, and sampling with Fred Nicole – a true climbing hero and expert in the field.

Refining

Non-stop meetings with Fred, including joining him in Switzerland, as well as factory visits during line production and frequent, in-depth communication with our manufacturers were imperative to ensure all the details were there.

Testing

It was important to get the technical aspects spot on whether you’re climbing indoors, competing, or out in the elements. Our new shoes models have endured rigorous testing from indoor and outdoor climbers.

Torque

Great aggressive shoe, the rubber is very sticky and I like the one strap a lot. I also like that I can secure it in multiple ways to make my foot feel more secure.

Just right

Bought these for my son’s birthday, as his bouldering had advanced to point where his Black Diamonds were holding him back. Fit is perfect and he could immediately tell the difference. He no longer has to bandage his Achilles heel for comfort. Looking to get a pair for myself next!!

So Good

So iLL really has something great going with these shoes. I've been climbing for 10 years now and have gone through a decent amount of shoes in that time, but I think these might be my favorite so far. Before the Torque I was rotating between Evolv Shamans and Sportiva Futuras. I wear size 10 Shaman and 41.5 Futura. Size 10 Torque fits PERFECTLY for me. I normally wear 10.5 street shoes. The pointed toe box fits my greek tapered foot shape like they were custom made. The heel literally suction cups to my foot, which makes this by far my favorite heel hooking shoe that I've owned. The stiffness of the last combined with the Vibram XS grip means I can edge and smear almost equally as well. Overall I'm incredibly happy with what So iLL managed to create with the Torque, it truly is a top of the line shoe.
