Great for small holds on steep terrain, the Matador will rip apart any proj. Bonus! The toe rubber and a sensitive midsole will help you stick to the wall like an Italian spider monkey running from a street full of bulls. The Matadors will be your best friend when running laps on your latest micro proj- ect in the vertical world. No bull!
