Sirius Lace
Description
Precise and aggressive – the Sirius Lace is the shoe for your most demanding projects! Equally at home in the gym or outside these shoes excel on vertical and steep overhung terrain where every last fraction of friction helps to propel you up. A full RS rubber sole and medium stiffness midsole provide the perfect combination of sensitivity and friction. The offset lacing system allows you to dial in the perfect fit and provides extra surface area for toe hooks without sacrificing fit or function. Your climbing partners will swear that you’re cheating with these shoes!

Unparallel’s Sirius Lace is one of their most popular shoes, rivaling the Testarossa above in terms of precision for vertical and overhanging terrain. The Sirius is a bit stiffer than La Sportiva’s popular lace-up, lending slightly more support and power on technical edges. And for better toe-hooking performance on steep routes and boulders, it also tacks on offset lacing and a rubber patch on the toe. That said, you do sacrifice the Testarossa’s glove-like fit with a synthetic upper, and we’ve found it hard to track down these shoes to try on in person. All in all, Unparallel might not get the same recognition as brands like La Sportiva and Scarpa, but they’re a rising star and it certainly doesn’t hurt that their shoes are priced at $20 to $50 less than the competition.
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.
