15 Good Climbing Footwear for Ladies

My name is marc bosley i am the climbing category manager for. Scoffer north america for spring 18 we are launching the new maestro family two. Models a men's and women's admit and lens and women's low and for me the. Starting point of this shoe is really the upper we started to use a leather or. A niko leather which is more sustainably sourced it's got less and ask to buy products that are given off during the tanning process in terms of the actual performance of this shoe it gives a really soft hand to this lever, so we want this shoe to be super comfy and this softer hand allows that what's really interesting the guyver actually designs all that shoes buckle times marker he kind of has moved. The seams around in the shoe so actually if we flip the shoe over when you can see inside it we can see that the positions of the seams have been moved away from underneath your toe and from on top of your knuckles so it becomes again a very comfortable shoe to wear for extended periods here under on the mid we've got a full length protection over the laces and that's the first point of difference between the low version we can see that we've got exposed laces here so protection and. Here we've got easier just a bit and this is kind of large discs that sits here underneath the laces cushions the top of your foot this is all built on you last and i believe that this is the first women-specific made on the market it's a brand-new active rand kind of it's a combination of our really popular buy attention active rand and our pcb active rand which is up here there are runs rounds here under the foot and back this way. And then we've got earnest of a stream that goes under here it allows us to kind of have a paradigm shift that trad shooters supposed to be really stiff here we've got a shoe that is very. Very supportive but also kind of sensitives the pull and the charge and. The dynamism that's in this shoe is kind of more explosive than here this gives a kind of more gentle extended release. Of energy, you know got this all day comfortable use quite technical and here you've got something that's a bit more technical more face climbing smaller kind edges and excess edge on all of them the mid comes in february march time and that's going to retail at $190 released. At the same time is the low and that's on tonight's dollars.

Hey there andrew staff from carbon dale Illinois for climb stuff with a review. Of the la sportive squaw ma i was. Looking for a new bouldering shoe and i have tried the la sportive solution and it did not fit my foot well my foot was a little too small for it so i tried the. Squaw ma and i have not been disappointed if you're looking for a. Downturned bouldering shoe that's a little bit softer almost more slipper like in its feel and sensitivity i would. Say this is great for you it's got a rubber patch excuse me over the top of the toe it's pretty flexible great for toe hooking and toast. Coming it's got a really comfortable heel that also has this s heel stability. Plastic piece there sometimes when your. Heel hooking and your heel look really hard you can compress that plastic heel and this helps it from collapsing keep. It from collapsing which has been really beneficial especially when you need to grab and rock over onto something it's got the p3r and which keeps the shoe in. A downturn shape for the majority of its life one velcro straps that you can kind. Of adjust depending on how you want to be oriented pretty a simple shoe the. Only the only gripe i have with it is sometimes this part right back here in. The heel can dig into my heel if it flips over and it's not perfectly set but all in all the shoe does things really well it sport climbs well edges well toes into little hook things well and surprisingly enough it's smears really well due to this soft sole and this little. Slot right here so that when i put my. Weight on it spread it gives you more flexibility the shoe is not so stiff. This is a great do it I'll shoe especially if the stuff that you're climbing is a little bit more overhanging so i would say if the solution doesn't work for you check out the lost forty llamas.

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.

Hi katie here is get out their magazine. This is my review of the arc'teryx conseal fl approach shoe the conseils. Have lots of great features my top three. Would definitely be vibram soles nice. Long lacing so you can get just the. Right tension and to grab loops to help. You really get your foot in there the. Con seals are super awesome they're really grippy issues are great they'll. Totally get you to the top or the bottom of your climbing area I've been rock hopping climbing and even. Hiking in these shoes and overall. They're really awesome shoes they're. Lightweight they're super grippy, and they're you know decently comfortable on your foot you're nice and lined on the inside for me i. Find these shoes fit really narrow so. They are they're cut pretty. Narrow and i have a very wide foot so i. Am I finding them to be a little bit pinchy right here at the widest point. And i also found the sizing to be like. Totally out of whack with most other shoe companies for example i usually wear a 39 and that would equate too about. An eighth or an eight and a half these are a seven and a half us, but they are a. 39 and a third european so i got the 39. 1/3 thinking that would fit me i usually wear a 39 and i don't mind having a little extra room for my toes but my big toe on my big foot only comes. Up to right here so I'm not really. Getting to take advantage of the little rubbery end of the toe and when i. Have been climbing in them they my feet. To sort of slide forward and backward a little bit i also found the back gave me. A fair bit of pressure when i was taking in them it's not really their intended use so do. Take that with a grain of salt also i think there's extra pressure because the soul is quite stiff and it's intended. To be that way of course so that you can edge and smear and you know really make. The most out of these shoes. Did i say yet that i love the color is awesome it's like great teal color goes with lots of things it's really subtle so I'm a really big fan, and they're just really like sleek and sexy looking so i have no. Complaint about shoe oh that it just. Doesn't quite fit my foot so that's all. Right there's lots of brands and styles out there so these shoes are awesome and. If they fit your feet you're probably gonna love them forget out their magazine I'm katie and that was my review of the arc'teryx concealed approach shoes for more info about these.
