    Whether you're grabbing holds at the gym or placing gear on a classic multipitch route, you'll find the women's Boreal Joker Plus Strap rock shoes to be the ideal blend of comfort and performance.

    • High-quality split leather uppers feature reinforced rip-and-stick closures that allow quick on and off and simple adjustment
    • 4 - 4.6mm-thick Boreal FS-QUATTRO rubber is extremely sticky and highly abrasion resistant; rubber provides consistent performance across a range of temperatures
    • Polyurethane mesh linings and padded, mesh tongues move moisture away from your feet to ensure comfort while climbing
    • Lightly cambered lasts and asymmetric sole shapes enable excellent edging while maintaining great sensitivity
    • EVA pads placed within the heels absorb shock
    • Go with your street shoe size if you plan to wear the Boreal Joker Plus Strap rock shoes all day, or size it a bit smaller for shorter sessions of bouldering or sport climbing

          Comments about Boreal Joker Plus Strap Rock Shoes - Women's:

          I love these shoes. I climb every other day, and the heels on these make climbing so often a joy. I have really smelly sweaty feet, and these shoes are holding up! no smell as of yet. I feel like its the macho thing to be really uncomfortable in your shoes. These are awesome. Comfortable, and they get me to wear I am going I climb 5.10's and feel that these are an amazing option. The velcro is placed right, so you can give yourself a really tigh feel, or loosen up to belay. Good luck hunting!

          Disappointing

            Comments about Boreal Joker Plus Strap Rock Shoes - Women's:

            I've found these shoes to be extremely uncomfortable. These are my third pair of climbing shoes (I've been climbing for just over 2 years, largely indoors), and I have a difficult foot to fit: narrow, low volume, long toes. I was glad to find a velcro shoe that seemed to accommodate, but I agree with the other reviewer that the heel does gap quite a bit. They're also distractingly painful on the big toe of my longer foot on rope routes (less painful bouldering as I wear them for shorter periods of time). I'm going back to my tried and true La Sportiva Mythos, or may try Scarpa Technos.

            Comments about Boreal Joker Plus Strap Rock Shoes - Women's:

            I saw these in SF REI and thought they would be great on multi-pitches and bouldering. I had worn them in several gyms and these were not sticking and hard to edge. I finally got to put them on real rock at Hueco Tanks. I was on a very easy V1 and I could not feel the rock, especially the small pinch where I have put my foot in the past with other brand-named shoes. Of course I fell, my spotters did not have anything positive about Boreals rubber. I will return them, and stick to La Sportivas and Scarpas.

            Bummed out by the new Joker Plus Ladies

            Comments about Boreal Joker Plus Strap Rock Shoes - Women's:

            I tried the new Joker Plus Ladies but they are just not the same as the old women's Sol's, the padding along the collar goes way to high on my ankle and the heel is really gappy, I'm really bummed as I loved the Sol's and I just blew out the toe on them and the new ones aren't the same. Please REI bring back the Sol's!
