Wild Country Meshuga Climbing Shoe blue
Product description
Seb Grieve made the first ascent of Meshuga (E9 6c) in 1997 – in a pair of Velcro shoes – and it’s remained a dynamic, overhanging three-star test piece ever since.
Wild Country´s Meshuga is a new breed of performance Velcro shoe with flexibility and sensitivity. Designed for bouldering, sport and steep trad climbing, it excels on dynamic vertical pitches and steep, sustained overhanging routes where it will hook, grab and edge to glory. The close, wrapping fit, moderate-to-flexible stiffness and support, and softer, edgy sole make it suitable for a wide variety of different angles. The gently asymmetric, moderately downturned shape offers instant comfort and has a wider, more flexed toe box than its counterpart, supported by a thermoplastic insert the Meshuga allows you to pull more with Your toes.
Technical data
COMPOUND FORMULA WILD: NEW LEVEL OF GRIP The new sticky Formula Wild compound borrows its advanced friction and grip from MICHELIN®’s MotoGP tires.
The compound engineered exclusively with and for Wild Country provides superior friction, optimal and constant grip across a wide range of temperatures and excellent edging.
MOLDED SOLE: DEFINED PRECISION The Net Fit molding process makes it possible to create a 3D sole with a defined thickness of rubber for different areas of the foot to offer maximum sensitivity, friction. What’s more, the moulding process ensures a greater durability over the lifetime of the shoes with consistent high-quality rubber definition and no wasted offcuts. Furthermore, it also means that if the sole wears out, it can be resoled at the forefoot area with full precision, thanks to a special moulded half-sole.
INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION: LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE The Wild Country patented composite construction is an innovative combination of an elastic Polyurethane (PU) layer laminated between two layers of microfiber. Since PU has less viscoelasticity than conventional rubber, the shoes retain their shape and performance for longer without deforming.
SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION The microfiber and PU layers combine to form a “net” that wraps the foot. The PU tensioning layer is thicker in certain zones to provide targeted compression.
MIDSOLE The textile midsole under the foot works together with the PU in the upper to create greater tension in the foot for additional support and push.
