About this product
The Newtro VCS is an aggressively downturned climbing shoe designed for steep terrain, built on a high-performance last that positions the foot for powerful engagement on overhanging routes. Its standout feature is the Z-shaped Velcro strap closure paired with an open U-throat, making it easy to slip on and off between burns without compromising a secure fit. The lined SOLO Suede upper is randed with extended toe rand rubber, and the 3.5 mm RA rubber sole delivers reliable friction and edging precision on thin holds. A hard midsole stiffness supports direct power transfer, while the webbing strap keeps the fit dialed. Weighing approximately 431 g per pair and available in sizes US 4 to 14 (EU 35.5 to 48.5), the shoe is also fully vegan in its construction, using synthetic materials throughout the upper and insole.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Unparallel Newtro VCS for its strong edging performance on steep and technical terrain, crediting the stiff 3.5mm RA rubber sole with delivering excellent precision and durability. The Zero Closure System and open U-throat are widely appreciated for making the shoe easy to get on and off without sacrificing a secure, locked-in fit. Users also highlight the narrow, aggressive last as a great match for low-volume feet, and note a short break-in period of just one to two sessions. The most common criticisms are the very narrow, pointed toebox (which limits appeal for wider feet) and reduced effectiveness for toe hooking due to the closure system design. Some users also note the shoe is not rated highly for smearing, though real-world performance on granite can exceed expectations.
