13 Good Bouldering for Ladies

What’s up guys peter here from reviews. On anything and in this video we’re looking at climbing shoes not your everyday topic but very interesting these are the last 45 tarantula. Shoes in kiwi color i kid you not and. They are designed for climbing obviously this is an all-round climbing shoe that functions well on plastic so when you’re climbing on indoor climbing hole but also well on rock when your bouldering or doing outdoor climbing set you back. Around 70 to 90 bucks depending on where. You buy them and if you can find a good deal online and there are a good sorts of. Media spectacles climbing shoe the top. Is made of leather and as you can tell by the straps already this is a shoe that’s designed to be tight when you’re buying a climbing shoe you really want it to be an extension of your foot because you can imagine obviously when you’re climbing you really want to be well in touch with all your connection. Points to the wall that you’re climbing actually so these shoes are meant to be. Tight and that’s right then of all these loops on them so you can actually pull. Then in place properly obviously it. Should be so tight that it restricts blood flow to your foot this is size 42. For me which is very snug there’s like. Hardly any room left for my toes but. Since it’s leather it’ll wear in a. Little bit and actually bombing in for a few times it becomes more comfortable but definitely climbing shoes unless. You’re familiar with the brand and the sizing don’t buy him online on seeing on. Try it really go to a store put them on see how. They feel maybe even take it for a test climb if that’s possible to make sure you have the proper fit because there’s nothing worse obviously than being halfway up a boulder and realizing that your shoes too tight and you can’t continue that’s a not a nice situation. Now you can open these shoes up pretty. Much all the way like so to make sure. You know that you can get your foot in. Properly and get it adjusted so that the. Desired titus is right for you which is. Great then we move to the business end. Of the which is obviously sole because this is. The part you’re going to use to grip on any kind of climbing wall now it’s made. Of something, they call friction rubber which according to them works really well on both plastics on inner climbing. And outdoor which is great that means you can use it around any way you want really the sole. Is one point eight millimeters thick which means it’s not a very aggressive. Shoe you know there’s a bit of flex in it obviously but it’s you know a very. Solid platform to stand on so if you’re a climber that wants to you know fully flex his foot and bend it in all kinds. Of shapes this probably not to shoot for you because the soul is just too thick and a bit too stiff for that but with extra cutting here around the tone extra. Cutting here around the heel it’s a shoe that’s fits very well in pretty much any kind of environment and i personally like shoes like this that are a little. Less aggressive because i like to really utilize a shoe in order to make my way. Up and if your shoe gets too aggressive. That i feel than just wearing socks so. This is a really substantial soul and a really substantial addition to your foot in order to climb the shoe only weighs. 290 gram so you know nice and light shouldn’t hamper you too much and i find. Then actually quite comfortable and i. Think the adjustment on the top is awesome to make sure you get a good fit. And i really like that they’ve thought this through from a climbers perspective and actually put the loops all around the shoe to make sure you can actually put it on nice and tight as far as your. Ability goes i tried about a few times not a mark on them really and it does. Indeed, work really well on both plastic and rocks and although i think it’s a. Very accessible shoe maybe when you’re. Just getting into climbing like me this. Is something you can definitely pick up without the hitch and get started with and especially at the price point it’s a. Decent shoe not sure about the color but hey I’m sure that you can find something that matches your own personal tastes and overall i think it’s a good shoe that. Does exactly what it needs to do and makes no secrets about what it’s supposed to do i like it’s good too. And at the price point you can be sure. To be having a good time in this is peter from reviews on anything with a look at the lust $45 uncle ah shoes hope. You guys enjoy the video and I’ll catch you in the next one cheers.

This comfortable shoe is easy to use and. Easy to get on and off in a flash the unlined upper is excellent for moisture management and super comfortable on your foot all day the shape is round and. Higher volume for the climber not looking to mangle their feet yet aggressive enough to perform when needed the highly adjustable closure system adapts to multiple foot types and shapes.

Everybody just want to do a quick review on the 510 guide. Teni just order these off of amazon. Wanted something for canyoning for slick rock just so i wasn’t slipping. Around on you know the rocks and need. Some good grip these are awesome for hiking approach. Shoes they’ve got the super sticky. Stealth rubber and you know that’s going. To be really awesome for those canyon walls and it’s a really good build. Quality i just got these from fedex. Today the guy dropped me off and you. Now these are awesome shoes i. Just had to run a Walmart really quickly. So I’ve only had them on for like 30 minutes but man they are already so comfortable, and they’re not going to be. A problem for you know those long days and i think you know when I’ve got a few. Hours in them they’re going to be even better once they’re broken in so yeah i. Think these are really good shoes and. Can’t wait to take them out.

Today we’re going to check out the 5/10. High angle the high angle is a great. Choice for those looking to push into steeper climbing they offer a great. Balance between performance cost and. Comfort the sizing is kind of small so. If you know your size another 5-10 models its worth going up par for size from this the heel is a little on the. Baggy side for me so not great for really technical heel hooking but it’s strong edging performance and moderate down turn design make the high angle a good shoe for steep pocketed limestone. You. You.

The 510 high-angle is one of the most. Comfortable of 510s downturned climbing. Shoes the high angle allows you the. Comfort for all-day climbing yet is aggressive enough to tackle steep overhanging routes the unlined leather. Upper is designed to stretch about a half a size to multi your foot and the single velcro strap is designed for comfort and ease of access the stealth. C4 outsole is thicker than most downturn. Shoes giving the stiffest profile and a 5/10 aggressive line and a supportive feel on your foot.

So yeah this is mad rocks flagship shoe it’s called the redline a lot of really innovative features have the clutch heel. Which works kind of like a chinstrap that gives you the adjust ability and the control of putting it to where you need it also a pretty aggressive downturn. Shoe pretty interesting downturn shoe it’s not downturn throughout the whole shoe it’s just downturn throughout the toe box that allows the heel to work by itself and not affect the heel and the fit of the heel also we’re still using the proven arch flex a design that just. Worked really well for us in the past shoes with different tensioning specific to this shoe this is not a specifically outdoor shoe but it’s its driven and. Built for outdoor climbing it does climb very well indoors as well but. You’re gonna see its true potential outside on all different terrain slab. Overhanging pockets crimps and micro. Diamond for sure a lot of power in the shoe also introduced a compression tongue so the tongue is designed with elastic to squeeze the top of your foot down this shoe actually works really well as a slipper unlaced but also you’re getting that added control and fit and feel with that lace i really wanted to give matt rock a chance to put. Ourselves out there and show this industry what we can produce and then. Also within the shoe i really wanted to make a complete shoe i really felt like you know with climbing shoes and how there had been made for the last 20 years we really get a good fit in the toe box area but the struggling area has always been the heel so my goal was to make a complete shoe from heel to toe and then also stylizing it really making. It really loud really different than anything else that’s been out there a lot of design cues from race cars some people have come in and say wow that looks like a Jordan a michael Jordan shoe and that’s where I’ve got a lot of the influence from you know I’ve always respected michael Jordan shoes waited in. Line to get the shoes and you know i put a little bit of that into rock climbing you know it does have an aggressive look and an aggressive profile to it but it’s an extremely comfortable shoe and it doesn’t come at. The expense of performance so yeah we. Are continuing to make pretty comfortable shoes but that still perform the way you need them perform a lot has to do with the lining this is a line high-end shoe a lot of the higher-end shoes are not lined they’re just let you know put your foot in it let it conform a lot of the idea behind this shoe is to have the fit be consistent. From when it comes out of the box to a month or two down the line and. Especially when you’re actually using the shoe to maintain the power and put everything where it needs to be we did use 4.1 millimeters sole rubber here rx5. Formula our competitors don’t necessarily use that thick of rubber but i think it adapts to the style of each climber so if you are a bit of a beginner climber and you’re getting into experiencing the high performance end of the shoe line you’re not gonna get screwed by you know having the shoe blowout on you that fast or having a rubber wear out on you within reason i mean it is a it is a tool that we’re using, and they do wear down like a kitchen knife we knew exactly what we wanted, and we work a compromise, so we. Were just right after it’s pretty awesome we’re really proud of it’s like it generated a lot of buzzes a lot of. People that would normally never step foot in a and a mad rock booth came down to check the shoe out this is a performer this i think is gonna do really well for us if you are gonna be seeing a lot of cool things coming from this company for sure and with a whole. New styling and a whole new attitude, and we’re hoping to turn some heads.

So this shoe is entry level shoe from a. Price point perspective retail for $89. With the success of the lotus and the lyra we really found that a lot of men have low volume feet as well so my goal. From an entry level standpoint wasn’t to have a man’s and a woman’s might have it genders specific i wanted it to be fit specific so it gave you a lot of options people that are just getting involved in. Climbing one comfort they don’t want to have their feet smushed in order to get the performance you really want to have a snug fit so what we decided to do was to have a pulse positive which is the. Blue here it’s a normal volume shoe and then the post negative which is the low. Volume version of that shoe so you really get a really good fitting system because you know for example i wear a size 8 and if i really wanted a comfort. Comfortable fit i would put a blue shoe on the positive if i wanted a little bit. More performance without that constricting feeling on my foot the post negative will definitely allow me to get that performance and that’s without downsizing so what makes this. Shoe kind of stand out is the uppers made out of synthetic mesh very breathable and then double lined with polyester fleece for comfort we added. This slingshot rand for performance and. For fit, we have a conforming tongue. Which really hugs the top of your foot we took the idea and the heel from the flash a really successful shoe of ours, and we gave it to the pulse it has an e. Be a shock pad system and then the. Overall styling is very sports sneaker driven tpr laminate on the top for. Styling and also for high wear areas for durability a lot of people that are getting into climbing they shopped for sneakers a lot more than climbing shoes, so we really wanted to make it pop out and stand out from the rest of the shoes out there something that they can really gravitate to and feel a little comfortable with generally what we’ve been doing here at mad rock is like trying to get people to get their street shoe size at least starting there with the technology and the materials and how things are being produced and made and the shoe. Will stretch about a half size depending on how tight you get them it’s not gonna blow out on you and become really baggy this tpr top detailing is what kind of. Keeps it together as well so it’s pretty. Cool how it all kind of comes together i think this shoe is definitely a high-performance shoe it can be so it’s a bit of best of both worlds it’s at a great price yeah i think it’s going to be a very popular shoe in the next year. You.

I’m kenny from madrid climbing so we. Have the new madrid a wire here newest. Addition to our family it is our soft issue in our lineup. Currently so a lot of new things and. Exciting things about this shoe this year is a new technology traditionally. We’ve been known for like making molded parts but it’s been kind of small and. Kind of confined to the heel area so for. The heel molds like this still very difficult to do right but you’re trying to make sticky climbing rubber flow in the mold and it’s really hard to make it flow up into a mold with like fully. Cured rubber or non climbing grade rubber it is easy to do molds like this it’s not too hard, but we’re able to design a way in production to make the climbing rubber flow up into the mold to make this like big shape because with such a soft shoe. Like no mid sole whatsoever and then this new upper fabric called flow net we. Needed to add structure to the shoe, and we didn’t want to do that by layering rubbers or tensioning rubbers too much so that’s why we came up with the molded toe box so traditionally like ltos are. Made like from a rubber sheet and then you have to like punch out the shapes of the outsole and then you put it onto the shoes itself, so we try to get. It as closes as possible to reduce waste as much as possible but you are still. Gonna have a lot of waste you know from those cut out portions so with this kind. Of technology, you can make the climbing mold climbing rubber flow into the mold kind of exactly how much you need. Basically we’ll have some excess that we’ll have to you know kind of cut or like grind off it’s not very much not as much as you would see in a climbing shoe basically so in one way it’s more. Sustainable and also it’s easier for labor and production so instead of. Having to put a ran rubber and then an outsole on the shoes you’re just using one molded part to put into the shoe so. It saves time it saves you know from. Wasting produced and it has a lot of performance benefits as well so what it. Does is also we have that patented concave sole so that’s patented for us so it’s gonna have that shape and it’s also the downturn as well so this is its. Original shape so it’s gonna try to hold this shape so with all the other like even our shoes like we tried to tension. The rubber to keep the downturn to keep that concave so but eventually like. Things start to break down right and it starts to flatten and it’s not as downturn as before or anything like that but with this is the original shape. So it’s gonna stay like that for the life of the shoe for the performance aspect we’re also able to put different. Rubber thicknesses into different parts of the mid sole so wherever you need more. Support you’ll get it wherever you don’t need as much support like in the center here you don’t have as much brother the. Other good thing about this molded sole is that it’s a increases durability so. In like a typical downturn shoes it’s. Prone to delamination right at the toe because it’s under so much tension so it’s trying to split itself apart from the ran rubber and in the sole part so. You get that little like talking mouth right at the front of them but this one. Because it’s molded there is no weakness there’s no seam at that point your foot. Is actually closer to the rock then you would be like other traditionally made climbing shoes typically the ran rubber. Is like two millimeters or more in thickness outsole is like three two some. Brands do even 5 millimeters in thickness so that convenient anywhere between like 6 millimeters to 8. Millimeters of rubber between you and the rock so with this in the high wear. Areas we have up to 5 millimeters so you. Are closer to the rock and this 5 millimeters all climbing grade rubber so. When you’re wearing it down even past 4. Millimeters you have climbing rover still left over after the time so more durable better for. Performance more sustainable so with the. Mold we had the opportunity to add whatever we wanted to the mold with sol, so we decided to do this like micro texture on the top and the sides of the shoes what this does is that gives it some added friction so if. There’s texture on the holes like you know or you know climbing surfaces it’s. Gonna try to grab that texture and give you added friction that you need I’ve tested it myself and it does stick a little bit better than this smooth stuff and then for the actual shoe the other. Parts of it we do have it lines underneath the this part only and then. The heel part as well because the nip. Fabric is so soft and so stretchy if we. Didn’t have this molded technology and if we use this knit fabric without the. Lining the shoe would be too soft like to sock like i know some people like. That but we need some performance to kind of support your weight on edges and for you to be able to like grab the holes and the shoe to be able to hold its shape so with the molded parts. That’s why we’re able to use this such soft breathable mid-upper the other. Parts of the shoes like the heel is molded as well it’s got the expandable. Designs it’s an expandable design here as well so it starts off with the kind. Of a narrow fit and if you have a wider foot it expands to accommodate same. Think for the heel as well it’s got that cut if you have that small heel it’s fine if you have a bigger heel cup it’ll expand to accommodate the strap is laminated it’s not stitched like other. Shoes so what happens is like if you do have a really like low volume foot or skinny foot you’re in enough velcroing it down you can cut it and customize it. To anywhere basically a lot of our athletes. Complained that the pull-tabs were too small they’re using their pinkies to get their shoes on, so we give them a really big pool tough for them to pull on but. And it is like with the soft pva so it’s really nice and friendly big and it’s. Pre tension so it doesn’t go down and interfere with any heel hooks basically yeah and then last we have this like. Heel ran rubber this looks like two. Different layers but it’s actually just one so what it’s doing is it’s actually wrapping and gluing down here so it’s. Creating that torsional rigidity and. Some like tension toward the inner big toe so hey wires gonna be available in. October this year 2018 and the price is 125 retail rieslings can be done if you. Have a experienced tree solar they can grind the sole part off, and they can do a result traditionally if they want to it obviously won’t have the. Molded aspect of it you’ll lose that but. It can be resold but if resellers are interested they can purchase the molded part so it’ll take a. Little bit of training, but they’re able to grind or heat up the shoes so. They can tear the sole off and just add another one on basically yeah initially there’s a big investment up front so you. Have to pay for the molding the tooling fees, but we’re trying to go for volume right, so we’ll end up using this mole for other shoes just like we have our. This heel mold is available in three different models as well, so we try to. Pay for that mold buy by volume of the shoes we’ve always been you know proponents of like fair pricing there is a huge initial cost, but we tried to mitigate that you know. Sacrificing our margin — you know. Penetrate the market get it into onto the shelves at a reasonable price because in the end i that it’s a fair price for us — 125 for this shoe i think. It is what the shoe should cost and you. No like we’re not skimping on the moles we’re now having just one mole for the entire size range so like this particular one here you can see that it’s a 7 to 9 so one mole will take care of a small range, and then we have other moles for the other sizes i don’t think any other brand does this even with their mole departs i think we’re the only ones that. Do different moles for different sizes this many anyways yes i think we have. Anywhere between six day molds per model or per piece so it fits properly we try. To maximize the benefit of the mid fabric by taking it all the way to almost to your big toe knuckle here so like i said you are getting that benefit like it this does fit a huge range of. Foot shapes like ii it’s this one is stuff but if you get one that’s not stuffed with a filling it starts off. Kind of like this it’s kind of closed and if your foot is not wide enough to expand that it’s just gonna stay like that but if your foots wide enough then you’ll it’ll expand the fit so i think. We’re one of the few companies are taking maximum advantage of dissonant fabric because we’re not lining it at all there’s no liner so you could only. Get this kind of structure and this kind of power with what the molded part so. Give it that bone skeleton basically yeah we did a lot of testing with our athletes, and we have a pretty good pool of like different foot shapes and sizes so it’s its been received pretty well all the way from low volume feet all the way to high volume feet, so we’re anticipating for this model should we should have one model not traditional like low volume high volume that we’ve done in the past.
