This is a classic sport hook&loop designed for Women. We realize that there is no single foot shape for all Women, but in general their foot shape is narrower in the forefoot and heel areas as well as possessing an higher arch (as is true with many men as well). Nevertheless, the Aurora is a solid sport shoe that is capable of precise edging maneuvers as well as providing excellent sensitivity for those "touchy-feely" smear moves so commonly encountered on modern day free routes. Again, classic unlined leather uppers in conjunction with superb shaping have come together to produce a truly versatile shoe for virtually all types of free climbing technique in the Aurora.
