Joker
The Boreal Joker is a shoe aimed at beginners but it is precise and performs well so is also ideal for all day cragging and long routes. The Joker is an incredibly comfortable shoe straight out of the box and features an Integrated Rand System (IRS) which means the super sticky Zenith Quattro sole is made from one piece to reduce deformation and retain a great fit. There is an EVA pad in the heel which offers a bit of protection when making descents and also some cushioning when falling from boulder problems.
Details:
- Comfortable and precise
- EVA heel pad cushioning
- Upper: Split leather and microfiber. Fast double srap closure system. Padded CHS heel for extra comfort
- Lining: One piece 3D lining for greater breathability.
- Midsole: Special anti deformation midsole
- Sole: Ultra sticky Boreal ZENITH Quattro outsole. 4-4.5mm thickness depending on size
How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.

Customer questions
Hi, my foot size is 9 (wear 9.5/10s in approach / boots). Got a narrow heel and fairly wide foot - would these fit the bill for my feet and if so what size do you recommend? Or is there a better shoe? Thanks
If this is your first pair of climbing shoes then the Joker is a very good choice. It provides a comfortable fit for most foot types. I would recommend wearing these either in your street size or half a size down. Two possible alternatives would be the Evolv Defy and the Andrea Boldrini Spider.
