Climbing shoes by climbers for climbers, that's what RED CHILI stands for - and has been since it was founded in 1996. The two founders Stefan Glowacz and Uwe Hofstädter had been on the road for a long time as a rope team and shared one ailment: their climbing shoes! Back then they were either just tight and painful to wear or had a bad fit.
The first spinning mills turned into rough ideas and at some point the decision was made: they just make their own climbing shoes! That sounded like a logical conclusion at first, since both had suffered for hours in various climbing slippers on the walls of the world and in competitions and knew what they wanted to do better. Ultimately, however, incorporating these experiences into development was and is a challenge - after all, your climbing shoes should exactly meet the needs of climbers. This basic idea is still manifested today in our: "Only climbers know what climbers need!"
The Red Chili product range has a model ready for everyone - from specialist shoes to all-round models, everything is included.
