Precision Edging for Wide Feet
The high-volume Ozone. Same Vibram sole, same 3-Force construction, same edging platform — built on a climbing shoe last shaped for wide feet rather than a standard last with room added.
The Asymmetrix Plus last is slightly downturned, with a radically shaped front and a concave profile that supports the toes under load. The front is anatomically modelled for stressed toes. The whole last is constructed for a wide foot from the outset, which is where most high-volume climbing shoes compromise.
Edging platform
The 3-Force System distributes pressure across three points rather than loading the big toe alone. What you feel is torsional stiffness — the shoe resists twisting when you weight an edge off-axis. Paired with the 3D Fit Middle midsole, shaped to hold toe position under load, it gives a stable platform on holds too small to stand on flat.
Sole and upper
Vibram rubber, chosen for the Ozone line over Ocún's own CAT compound because it holds a defined edge longer under repeated loading than softer, stickier compounds. Microfibre upper, 100% vegan. Arch and heel pretensioning keeps the foot seated and drives power forward instead of letting it dissipate through the midfoot.
Fit and use
Wide feet, high instep volume. Built for sport climbing and bouldering on small, technical holds — vertical faces, steep sport lines, anything where foot placement decides the move. If your foot is normal width, the standard Ozone climbing shoe runs on the Asymmetrix last and gives a closer fit without losing the platform. Both models size identically.

FAQ
How do I choose the right climbing shoe for my foot?
Choosing the right climbing shoe starts with knowing your foot shape (Egyptian, Roman, or Greek) and foot type (narrow, regular, or wide). Each model is built differently—with unique shapes, tension systems, and stiffness levels—designed to suit specific foot profiles and climbing needs. For example, wider feet may fit better in models like the Ozone HV or Bullit, while narrow feet suit the Fury or Sigma. Matching the shoe to your foot ensures better performance and comfort.

What are the different types of rubber used in Ocun shoes?
Ocún uses three types of high-performance rubber in their climbing shoes, each designed for different needs and skill levels:
CAT rubber μ 1.1 – High friction & durable
This compound offers a good balance of grip and durability. It’s designed for beginner models, focusing on abrasion resistance while still providing reliable friction for both rock and indoor climbing.
CAT rubber μ 1.5 – Super sticky & precise
This is Ocún’s super sticky rubber, engineered for maximum grip and precision. It enhances friction between the sole and the surface, even on tiny footholds and edges. It’s used in mid-range to high-performance shoes and is great for technical climbing.
VIBRAM XS Grip – Sticky + stiff
This trusted Vibram compound blends stickiness with stiffness, making it excellent for demanding routes that require precision and stability on small edges. It’s used on shoes designed for advanced and performance-focused climbers.
What is CAT rubber?
CAT (Climbing Adhesion Technology) rubber is a high-performance climbing rubber developed by Ocún to deliver exceptional grip on rock and indoor surfaces. Its effectiveness is measured using the μ (mu) friction coefficient, which shows how well the rubber resists slipping when pressure is applied.
To measure this, Ocún uses a custom test that simulates real climbing conditions—pressing the rubber onto a surface with a known force and measuring how much it resists sliding.
CAT rubber starts at a μ value of 1.1, with higher numbers meaning more friction:
- μ ≤ 0.9: Standard rubber
- μ = 1.1 – 1.4: High friction rubber
- μ ≥ 1.5: Super sticky rubber
CAT rubber bonds to the surface through macro-scale grip (rubber sticking to rough rock texture) and micro-scale adhesion (rubber molecules interacting with the surface), giving climbers reliable traction even in demanding conditions.
What are lasts and why are there so many different ones?
A "last" is the mold that shapes a climbing shoe—it defines the fit, profile, and performance. Because no two feet (or climbs) are the same, different lasts are created to match various foot shapes, climbing styles, and comfort needs. For example, some are built for narrow feet and precise edging, while others offer more volume and all-day comfort. More lasts = better fit for more climbers

What is 3FS?
The patented 3 Force System (3FS) used in the Ozone, Ozone HV and Fury provides precise pressure distribution contributing to a higher torsional stiffness and resulting in perfect balance on the tiniest footholds and edges.
In short it ensures no rotation on the foot, better stability, and great support on small footholds
What’s the difference between 2D and 3D midsoles in climbing shoes?
The midsole affects how a climbing shoe balances support and sensitivity. 3D midsoles are anatomically shaped to match the human foot, offering better toe support and power transfer. They come in different stiffness levels, from 3D Fit Hard (more support, less sensitivity) to 3D Fit Middle (a balance of both).
2D midsoles are flatter and come in varying stiffness too, like 2D Toe Soft for maximum sensitivity, or 2D Fit Hard for more structured support.
Choosing the right sole depends on whether you prioritise feeling the rock (sensitivity) or edging power (hardness).
That's a lot to take in... is there a simple way to compare all the shoes?
Absolutely. We’ve wrapped up all the key info—models, fits, midsoles, lasts, and more—into one clean, scroll-stopping chart. Whether you’re chasing performance or prioritising comfort, it’s the quickest way to line up your options and find the perfect match without getting buried in the details.
