Made in Spain
"Boreal has a long and rich history, with an impressive "trophy case" of innovations and first ascents from climbers wearing their footwear under their belt. Founded in 1975 by Jesus Garcia Lopez in Villena, Spain, Boreal footwear quickly gained a reputation for trekking and mountaineering boots. It was this reputability that caught the attention of the legendary Spanish rock climbers, the Gallego brothers, who asked Jesus if he could create a rubber sole designed specifically for rock climbing shoes.
1980, the Gallego brothers would take the now famous "Firé" rock shoe to Yosemite, where they opened the first non-American route on El Capitan, the Mediterraneo. Three years later, 265 pairs of Boreal shoes were to be sold at the Yosemite Mountain Shop, where they sold out within the first two hours of sale, cementing Boreal as one of the top leaders in rock climbing shoes..." - Epic TV
