Taking their best selling shoe, the Phoenix, and designing it around a women's foot may seem like a simple task. Unfortunately, it took them a few years of careful planning and permeations. Finally its ready. The Mad Rock Banshee has an excellent comfortable fit but don't let the comfort fool you as she will perform well too. Slightly narrow in the heel, a higher arch and narrower toe box make this "the shoe" to get. Another climbing shoe first from Mad Rock, they've tattooed the leather with a special pattern found on ancient artifacts thought to bring good fortune and massive friction. (OK, just kidding but it looks really cool!)
