Red Chili

About Red Chili

Red Chili makes climbing and bouldering shoes, along with clothing and accessories for the same crowd. The label started in 1996, when Stefan Glowacz and Uwe Hofstädter topped out on El Cap in Yosemite after climbing the West Face and found their feet aching. They decided to build a shoe that was comfortable and still performed. The first ideas turned into rough concepts, then prototypes, starting in Uwe's garage. Today the shoes are made in a modern factory in Isny, and the range runs from the smallest climbers up to every level of ability. Feedback from its own team climbers and from customers shapes the designs. The motto is "by climbers for climbers". Red Chili is part of EDELRID.
