Ocun Oxi Climbing Shoe
You'll need experience to tame this beast. The Ocun Oxi is an advanced shoe that excels on hard boulders. An ultra-thin midsole provides the maximum amount of flexibility for toe-hooking and sensitivity on hard boulder routes with imperceptible footholds. Toe-hooking ability is enhanced through a large piece of high-friction rubber placed along the toe area. Grippin' Sticky rubber is Ocun's maximum friction compound designed for polished footholds and sticking onto the kind of tiny holds found on advanced boulder problems. This is doubled with the downturned profile and highly asymmetric last which provide power and precision on anything steep and minute. The single velcro closure makes it easy to slip on and off in between climbs, and the microfibre upper means the Oxi requires no breaking in and will keep the same performance over its entire lifespan.
The Oxi is ideal for all high-performance climbers and advanced sport climbers seeking the best in performance.

Top performance shoe rubber developed especially for maximum adhesion. The material has a high friction parameter which ensures excellent adhesion on ledges and slabs.
Very good heel and great rubber!!
I was on my demand to find a good intermediate shoe for a good price,and I found the Ocun oxi S.Stared looking it up,great shoe ,people I know who climb for years telling me it was a great shoe especially the price/perfomance relation.And so I decided to get me a pair,turns out they are a bit too "hardcore" for me yet,a shoe too strong for my weak feet.So what I can recommend is that if you are like me,a begginer but looking for a shoe slightly better this wont work,as they are too much for our non used to climb feet,but if you already have strong feet just go for it and go crazy.I would recomend buying half a size up from regular shoe size(EU)
I ordered these shoes because I was looking for a cheaper shoe to boulder with in the gym. So far I have been incredibly happy with them.
I bought the same size as my street shoe size. After 3 sessions they have now set around my foot and are pretty comfortable, while still performing very well.
The rubber on the toe really helps with toehooking. The heel is a nice tight fit, so my heel hooks are sticking. The heels in shoes by la sportiva are too small for me, those by 5.10 too big. But these shoes just gave me the exact right fit.
I was a bit worried about the single Velcro closure, but it's pretty neat! You can really tighten the shoes down when needed, but they are still easy to take off when resting.
I have found the shoe to be very well made, around the same quality as higher priced brands like 5.10 and la sportiva.
If you're still reading this you've probably already guessed it: I have nothing negative to say about these shoes. I definitely recommend them!
My pair was not older than 3 weeks when their gluing of the bottom which connects to side, broke. I tried to "return" since no reclamation site specific.
Was asked to send pictures and when i did, epictv support answered (Short version): "Oxi use soft rubber which allows them to be sticky, however, the downside of this is that they can wear through quickly especially on the toe side." otherwise ok, i understand that climbing shoe can wear trough fast but 3 weeks? 3 outdoor sessions.. Also it was not even TIP that broke so thank you for your copypaste answer! It is clearly a manufacturer error and can be seen on images very clearly.. I've had Ocun shoes before and this never happened.
