AORAKI Dihedral Mini (EU 32-35)

Dihedral Mini is a junior version of our Dihedral climbing shoe, built for younger climbers in EU sizes 32–35. Same grippy rubber and locked heel as the adult shoe, in a smaller last.

Built for

Juniors need what adults need — a firm toe edge, a heel that does not slide, and rubber that grips — in a smaller size and a slightly more forgiving fit. This is a first or second pair for kids climbing indoors and on short outdoor routes.

Key features

• Firm toe edge. A stiffer front platform lets kids stand on small footholds without the shoe rolling over.
• Locked heel. A tensioned heel cup stops the foot sliding back on heel hooks.
• Forgiving fit. Less aggressive downturn than an adult performance shoe, so growing feet are not crushed.

Materials & construction

Synthetic upper with a lined tongue, on a rubber outsole with a rand wrapping the toe. Strap or lace closure keeps the fit adjustable as feet grow.

Sizing

EU 32–35 only. Fit snug but never painful — toes flat or very slightly curled. If your child sits between two sizes, go up.

Care

Air them out after every session and never leave them sealed in a bag. Wipe the rubber with a damp cloth to restore grip. Keep away from heat and direct sun.
