Frequently Asked Questions
What Euro size should I order?
ArbPro boots run true to size. Use a standard EU size conversion from your US size — for example, US 9 ≈ EU 42, US 10 ≈ EU 43, US 11 ≈ EU 44. When in doubt, size up for thicker socks.
Are these boots waterproof?
They use eVent technology, which provides water resistance and breathability. They will handle rain and wet bark well, but are not designed for submersion.
Can I use these for foot locking?
Yes — the no-snag soft lacing system was specifically designed to protect your climbing rope during foot locking, making these an excellent choice for SRT and DRT climbers alike.
What is the HAAS attachment point?
It's a built-in connection point compatible with the HAAS Haul Ass Ascent System, allowing you to use the boot as a foot step during ascent. It is not rated for life safety and cannot be used as PPE.
How do the Vibram soles perform on wet bark?
The soft, tactile rubber compound grips wet and dry bark exceptionally well. The near-flat sole profile maximizes contact surface, and the compound is designed to be gentle on the cambium — an important consideration for tree health.
