The Red Chili Matador has had a minor overhaul for 2010/11. The profile has been tweaked to make it ever so slightly more toe-down, whilst cosmetic changes to the rubberized toe box and triple Velcro strap closure, make for a sleeker finish to this established classic.

The Matador is Red Chili’s hottest shoe, capturing perfectly the essence of modern sports climbing and bouldering in an authentic precision package. Red Chili's ‘perfect shoe’, the Matador was designed for, and refined by, some of Europe's top climbers - including the awesome Andreas Bindhammer.

Technically, a super-tensioned, toe down, lo-stretch synthetic upper forces the foot forward giving peerless purchase even at extreme angles. At the same time triple VCR strapping keeps the foot perfectly anchored – while allowing quick and easy adjustment – and underfoot a sensitive midsole gives amazing feedback without sacrificing power.

Add in extended, profiled arch rubber for awesome scummin’, a great heel cup plus bonus toe rubber and here’s a shoe with more traction than ever before. A design masterpiece, the Matador is Red Chili’s most advanced shoe and the most precise and powerful VCR shoe around.
