Trax® Rubber Technology

Trax® Rubber

TRAX XT® high friction rubber is formulated to be the highest performing rubber on the market. TRAX-XT®has a perfect balance of high friction and edging power on different types of rock and plastic holds while performing consistently over a wide range of temperatures.
VTR3D Technology

VTR3D

With VTR3D, the “high wear” zone of the rand is thicker, while low wear areas are kept thin to reduce pressure points and hot spots around your foot.

Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

All testers said the shoes excelled at smearing, pockets, and trad (jamming, slabs), and were good on face holds down to “medium-sized edges”—the 5.9–5.11 range. The shoes, which one tester labelled “semi-precise” (she hankered for a pointier, more asymmetrical toe), did work on smaller footholds by applying concerted force, though this led to big-toe fatigue. And they weren’t as fluent on overhanging sport—not surprising given their flat last. Still, the “Nighthawk far outperforms its $79 price point,” a tester said. “It’s not a high-performance shoe, but it is a solid shoe for days when you’re looking for something comfortable.” Echoed a Skyhawk tester, “These are great for trad climbs and moderate sport climbs—super-comfy for long periods.” All testers also praised the durability and antimicrobial treatment, saying even after long, sweaty sessions during which the shoes didn’t come off, they still smelled like leather and not foot stank.
