FAQs.

WHAT DOES CUSTOM ORDER MEAN?

Exclusively crafted for you, tailored to the unique contours of your feet. 

ATHOS are not your ordinary climbing shoes; they are perfectly designed for unparalleled comfort and to complement your every move on the rocks.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE PRODUCT TO BE 3D PRINTED?

Our climbing shoes feature a fully 3D printed body.

To ensure you get the most out of this disruptive design, we offer some valuable usage recommendations:

 

1. Avoid giving strong pulls when tying your shoelaces.

2. Refrain from abruptly pulling the tab, as it may lead to unnecessary stress on the shoe’s components.

3. For prolonged durability and to protect the body material, consider replacing the sole before it is completely worn out.

By following these guidelines, you can optimize the performance and longevity of your unique 3D printed climbing shoes.

IS THE SOLE ALSO 3D PRINTED?

No, our climbing shoes feature a Vibram® sole for outstanding performance and durability.

WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SHOES?

Historically, climbing shoes have been made from materials like leather or cloth. 

The ATHOS climbing shoes offer an alternative by being made exclusively from plastic and rubber, making them 100% recyclable. Additionally, they do not undergo dyeing processes, which further enhances their environmental consciousness and recyclability. 

By using these materials and manufacturing methods, the ATHOS climbing shoes indeed represent a more sustainable and eco-friendly option for climbers.

WHERE ARE THEY MADE?

Both printing and sole placing take place in Catalonia, we are committed to local and sustainable trade. 
The sole placement process is 100% handmade, meticulously adding rubber to each climbing shoe in small workshops. The care we invest in this slow and methodical approach ensures that every shoe is truly 
one-of-a-kind. Our production stands apart from mass-produced chains, embracing a personalized touch that requires special timings to create these exceptional climbing shoes.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY ATHOS?

Always clean: don’t be afraid to put them in the washing machine. You don’t need to iron them, although they will help you iron blocks!
 
1. Do not use chlorine, bleach, or cleaning foam for sports equipment, as they can damage your shoes.
2. Shake out any sand, gravel, or dirt from the inside of the shoe.
3. Clean the outside of the shoes with a cloth soaked in cold water.
4. You can wash the shoes in the washing machine using a short cold cycle.
5. Avoid softeners, do not use bleach or a dryer.
6. After carefully cleaning the shoes, let them dry naturally without direct contact with the sun. They could spoil.
