Czech climbing brand Ocún might not be on your radar, but its new shoe, the Sigma, proved why it should be. The aggressive, high-performance lace-up shoe was perfect for those looking to send harder projects outdoors.
I tested the Ocún Sigma for months inside and outdoors on rugged Iowa limestone, primarily on sport routes, as that’s the shoe’s target discipline.
In short: For sport climbers with narrow to normal feet, the Ocún Sigma is a great performance shoe with strong edging capabilities and durable construction.
