A rand is an extra layer of rubber applied to the outsole of your climbing shoes with many benefits and functions. Rands are vital to the overall performance and longevity of the shoe,
they protect the areas that typically experience the most wear and offer plenty of grip for manoeuvring your way up a route.

We strongly recommend investing in a toe rand for ALL climbing shoes to elevate their performance and durability. This rand covers the top of your toes shielding the areas most prone to damage.
