Saltic Bongo παπούτσια αναρρίχησης - πράσινο, EU 38

The Saltic Bongo delivers a 3.7 mm Extasy® rubber sole with a full rand and tensioned heel, giving you precise edging and secure heel hooks on vertical terrain. Its hook-and-loop closure with two straps lets you dial in a snug fit in seconds, while the medium-volume toe box and moderate asymmetry balance comfort with performance for long gym sessions or sport routes.

Overview

Built in the Czech Republic, the Bongo is a unisex climbing shoe that blends a microfiber upper with a synthetic lining for durability and minimal stretch. The slight downturn and medium stiffness provide support on small holds without sacrificing all-day comfort. A full rubber rand wraps the forefoot for toe hooking and abrasion resistance, and the tensioned heel rand keeps the shoe locked during aggressive heel hooks.

What stands out

• Saltic Extasy® rubber (3.7 mm) for reliable friction and edging.
• Dual hook-and-loop straps for quick on/off and a personalized fit.
• Moderate asymmetry and slight downturn: performance without pain.
• Full rand and tensioned heel for advanced footwork.
