So iLL Climb

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets So iLL apart from other climbing brands?

  So iLL emphasizes a blend of performance and lifestyle design, pairing technical features like Vibram XS GRIP rubber and medium-stiff midsoles with distinctive aesthetic touches and community-driven product testing. The brand spans shoes, holds, apparel, and training tools, aiming for comfort on approaches and precision on technical moves through iterative feedback from indoor and outdoor climbers.
• How do the Torque RV and Torque LV climbing shoes differ?

  The Torque RV (regular volume) and Torque LV (low volume) share the same last and performance intent but are sized and shaped for different foot volumes — RV fits medium-to-high volume feet while LV is cut for narrow, low-volume feet. Both use Vibram XS GRIP rubber and a medium-stiff midsole to balance edging precision with all-day comfort.
• Which So iLL shoe features make it good for edging and technical climbing?

  So iLL designs for edging by combining Vibram XS GRIP rubber for high friction and shape retention with a medium-stiff midsole that resists collapse under load, improving support on small edges. Thoughtful toe-box shaping and asymmetric lasts contribute to precise foot placement and control on technical sequences.
• Beyond shoes, what climbing products does So iLL offer and who are they for?

  So iLL produces climbing holds, apparel, and training products in addition to shoes, serving gym operators, sport climbers, boulderers, and trainers who want functional gear with thoughtful design. Their holds and training tools are tested for durability and repeatability, while apparel focuses on mobility and gym-to-street style.
• How should I choose the right So iLL shoe if I climb both indoors and outdoors?

  Look for a model with a balanced profile: medium-stiff midsoles and Vibram XS GRIP rubber provide the edging and durability needed outdoors while retaining comfort for longer indoor sessions; the Torque line is a good example of that balance. Choose the RV or LV based on your foot volume and consider a slightly snug fit for performance-focused moves, while prioritizing fit and comfort if you spend long days at the gym.
