With a little wider platform than the shark, the M5 is designed for both performance and comfort. We took a twist on our patented concave sole with this design...you'll notice for the first time in Mad Rock history, the concave sole features our flat sole design for optimal overhanging grabbing, it also creates a sharper edge for standing on tiny holds and ledges. The Arch Flex ensures the glove like fit that you've come to expect from our performance shoes, and the new Torque Heel will enable you to exploit rock features like never before. The Power Upper covering the majority of the forefoot adds more than 30% of rubber to facilitate toe hooking and jamming. Great for Bouldering, Sport, Competition, Crack Climbing and the Gym.
Power Upper
Combined with the new Science Friction 3.0 rubber, the latest power upper design is by far the stickiest yet. Through the use of their new rubber impregnation technology, the power upper is thin, light, sensitive and ultra sticky.
Arch Flex
By utilizing a 1.8mm R2 rand rubber, the Arch Flex system gives the redesigned Shark an unbelievably comfortable and glove-like fit. The elastic property in the R2 formula hugs and locks your foot in to place without the pain associated with other high performance shoes.

Please Note: Climbing shoes should be a very tight but tolerable fit. With Mad Rock shoes a snug fit has already been factored in to the sizing. However many customers still find they like to go down one size from their regular everyday shoe size in this model.

They were very tight when I tried them on for first time but now it feels really good. Great shoes without a doubt.
Half size up might be a good choice for those who have wide feet
