Rating:  of 5 Stars!

The Andrea Boldrini Apache 5 is the latest incarnation of Bodrini's top end climbing shoe. Although they don't come cheap you are unlikely to regret spending that little bit extra. The Apache 5 has a really snug fit that will allow you to use the shoe to it's full potential without causing any unnecessary pain. 

Like it's predecessors the Apache 5 is primarily designed for steep and overhanging rock, and as such they make great a great bouldering shoe. They have a down turned toe box with specific sole tension, single Z type velcro fastening, X Tension system on the forefoot (the more you push on your toes the better support you get) and a superbly designed heel that will allow you to heel hook in any position. The Apache 5 feels pretty similar to previous version, which is great because there was very little that needed improving on.

As far as sizing goes the Apache 5 is similar to most Sportiva shoes (in other words you probably want to buy this shoes smaller than your street size). The upper is made from Lorica microfiber - and so it won't stretch over time. Although Boldrini shoes are very popular in France, they are not yet widely stocked in UK stores, so we are aware that most climbers will not have tried them on before. We will be updating this page in the near future with some clear sizing advice, however in the meantime please feel free to give us a call or send us a message if you need some help. Don't worry if you don't buy the right size first time around because we are always happy to exchange shoes without asking for any further postage charge.

Andrea Boldrini Apache 5 Reviews

Submited By: Andy Taylor on 13/08/2011
My god! These shoes are amazing. Can shoes be too sticky. I dont know if that is a problem for most shoes. Bouldering the shoes toe and heel sticks on everything... too well even. Crazy shoes! There wasnt a mm of space in the shoes which are quite a chore to get on as they fit so well. Easier to remove with sweaty feet.... Pretty comfy, although my feet havnt quite warmed up2 them yet as ive only climbed in them once. I just really wanted to rant about how great they are. Perfection achieved, if only they were slightly cheaper. Tiny features and smears are easy as jugs. Literally like two hands on your feet with the flexibility and grip the shoes provide.

The rubber is sticky than the La sportiva Solution. It is amazing fit both toe and heel areas. Extremely comfy and feels like a 2nd skin. Score: 9.8/10 This is my 3rd pair of Andrea Boldrini/ 5th times back to bananafingers. And the most i like is that BananaFingers has such good services, they never give up answering customer's tons of questions but provide the best services. Thanks Tom!

Extremely comfy from the word go, good sticky rubber, great for toe hooks, the only minus point is that the sole is bit too rounded, not so great on tiny features. Good all rounders.
