      Boreal, making history with the Firé

      In the 1970s, Boreal pursued a research program aimed at producing a higher-performance climbing shoe by developing the first rubber compound specifically for climbing. In 1979 Boreal designed the Firé made famous in the U.S. by Yosemite climber and free-soloist John Bachar.

      Following the introduction of the Firé, Boreal became a difficult company to beat. Their sticky rubber compound had truly revolutionized the sport allowing climbers to move with improved confidence on the rock.
