Extreme sensitivity combined with high dynamism allows the Theory to have unprecedented pedidextarity and reactivity on holds.

They offer top to bottom sticky rubber and an all-new hybrid sole that combines no-edge features to adapt to the futuristic footwork required for modern competition climbing.
