"The CoDex toe is shaped such that you have a good amount of surface area to quickly get your foot into the right place. It jams into pockets really well, and grabs a hold of features well on overhanging routes."  --Climbing Report

Gear Review: Cypher CoDex Climbing Shoe


















"The Codex is Cypher’s new shoe designed as a hard-edging sport and bouldering slipper. I took it out on some of the local Vedauwoo boulders to test it on micro-edges and dodgy smears, and a bit of steep limestone as well."  --The Climbing Zine
