Rating:  of 5 Stars!

The Red Chili Matador is uncompromising, red, angry and perfect. This is a shoe aimed at high end climbers and boulderers.

Designed and revised by Stefan Glowacz and Daniel Hrozek along with Red Chili’s latest signing Andi Bindhammer, the Matador has been tested, fine tuned and proven by the rest of the core Red Chili team and has met all their most demanding expectations.

Design-wise the super-tensioned, toe down last combines with a lo-stretch synthetic upper forcing the foot forward into the toe of the Matador and making for peerless purchase even at extreme angles.

At the same time externally the Matador has triple Velcro straps which keep the rest of the foot perfectly anchored yet allow quick and easy adjustment – while underfoot the sensitive midsole provides amazing feedback from the rock without sacrificing power or torsional stability. The Red Chili Matador also comes with extended, profiled arch rubber for awesome scumming, an almost perfect heel cup and over the toe bonus rubber gives as much hooking power as you will ever need.

The Matador is Red Chili’s most advanced shoe ever and one of the most precise and powerful shoes around.

Red Chili Matador Reviews

Submited By: Caj Fors-Klingenberg on 03/12/2010
Top end shoes at an affordable price! I considered buying La Sportiva Miura VS or Solution but went for the Matadors, mainly because I’ve lovingly used the older Red Chili models Dos Equis and Voodoo for years. The Red Chili rubber is super sticky and durable. The Matadors are similar to the Voodoos but softer. They’re aggressively downturned with a very precise toe box, good for overhangs and roofs, but they’re also soft enough to smear on the granite slabs of Lofoten. The rubber on top of the toes has proven to be useful not only for toe hooking, but for crack climbing as well. The heel hooking ability is also good. I’ve used these shoes weekly for five months now and they haven’t lost their shape yet. The stretch is minimal. The Matadors aren’t perfect for me because I have low volume feet (narrow and flat). The width is ok but when I tighten the shoes the tongue gets in the way and wrinkles. Also, the velcro straps are too long and stick out on the side. The Matadors will be perfect if you have a normal or high arch. The size is comparable to other Red Chili models. I bought UK 8.5 (EUR 42.5), which is comfortable enough for multi-pitch routes. I’d use UK 8 for a really tight fit. The length of my foot is 26.5 cm. I use Asics UK 7.5 (EUR 42) for indoor court sports, Salomon UK 8.5 (EUR 42 2/3) for trail running and Sanük USA 9 (EUR 42) street shoes.

MATADOR That name is very powerful and there is no doubt about the power and precision that has these shoes. I have dealt with brands such as Scarpa, La Sportiva, Five-Ten, etc. Regardless of their appearance and attractive design, these shoes retain that power which gives it sole, you can step on the smaller stones with great confidence. Ideal for boulder problems. But his three velcro straps makes it a little awkward when faced with a roof. In general it is a verry good option.
