UYN is very proud of the ibex hoof-shaped outsole that’s said to enable superior grip but in my experience, the shoes were not only not grippy on hard, wet surfaces, they were downright slippery.

An ibex has a special groove in its hoof that makes cliff-climbing easy and mountain climbing shoes are often designed according to the ibex hoof.
