Our Classic Z sandals are a climbing and approach favorite, and when it comes to climbing, there are few spots more famous than Kentucky’s Red River Gorge.  In the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest, the Red is an incredible geological area and a hotspot for climbers all over the nation.

To put our products to the test, we sent photographer Matt Shaw down to the Red to capture the essence of Kentucky climbing (and stop off at Miguel’s Pizza – unofficial capital of the Red River Gorge). See below for the story and make sure to follow Matt Shaw on his adventures. You can find his work at mattshawcreative.com and on Instagram @mattshawcreative.

Featured in this shoot: Men’s Classic Z/1® Unaweep, Women’s Classic ZX/1® Unaweep, Women’s Natilly Boot, Women’s Z/Volv, Women’s Z/Volv X, Women’s Toecoop, and our assembled in the USA dog collars and leashes.
