How to use

Put on the Tarantula shoes and adjust the laces to achieve a snug fit without cutting off circulation; they should feel secure across the forefoot and heel while allowing some toe sensitivity for edging and smearing. Use tighter lacing for technical climbs and a slightly looser setting for long approach walks or extended gym sessions. Regularly inspect the rubber sole and seams for wear and replace or resole when grip or integrity declines.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, wear the shoes for sessions that match your skill level: tighter for precise bouldering moves, more relaxed for gym circuits or long belays. Keep the shoes dry after use and avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight to preserve materials and sole adhesion.
