Regulus

Rating

My vote: None ( 4.6 avg )

Description

The Regulus is our stiffest downturned shoe providing both comfort and absolute precision for any angle and all styles of climbing. The unlined synthetic upper provides a soft feel on foot while maintaining a perfectly snug and secure fit. The full RH rubber sole and stiff midsole provide exceptional edging ability and the extended rubber over the toe box provides extra friction for toe hooking. The highly tensioned heel and sling shot rending locks your foot into the shoe providing extra power and bomb proof heel hooks.

After buying and reviewing this shoe the first time, I've now become an employee, but this is a slightly more descriptive version of the first review I did prior to employment.
Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

Working off the tried-and-true, radically downturned, single-strap-closure template, Unparallel has created a fleet gym/bouldering/sport-cave shoe with power and precision on its mind. “The Regulus really stood out at Wall of the Nineties in Clear Creek Canyon, Colorado, where decades of climbing have left the footholds glossy and polished,” said our tester, who plied the boots on the thin, gneissic edging of Ten-Digit Dialing (5.12c). “The (shoe) might as well have been Velcro the way I was pasted on.” Sizing tightly, our tester noted an aggressive fit that drove his big toe down and in, for “expert control even on faint footholds.” This did, however, come at a price, and the Regulus, like many shoes in its genre, is really only meant to be worn in short bursts—boulder problems and short, steep sport routes—and can be unwieldy for full-foot smearing. Heel hooking scored very high marks, as did toe scumming and heel-toe cams thanks to the hyper-large scum patch/rand, which wraps back nearly halfway over the shoe. “This shoe will be extremely popular with those looking to climb steep boulders and walls outside,” concluded our tester.

UK Climbing Gear Review no rating given just a review

Competitively priced at £110, this is a bargain for an all-rounder that can be used for nearly everything. The build quality is top-notch; the traditional weak points on rock shoes such as the lacing system, the pull tabs and the rubber's edge show very little sign of wear.
