Arc’teryx Arakys Approach Shoe – Women’s

The Arc’teryx Women’s Arakys Approach Shoe eliminates the need to bring along a pair of climbing-specific shoes when you go for lunch break gym climbs and quick after-work boulder missions. This innovative approach shoe is made for crossing technical terrain, but more than holds its own when bouldering, doing single-pitch climbs, or tackling quick routes on the gym wall.

The air permeable ripstop upper is tough, yet breathable, and a stretchy Adaptive Fit Lite liner conforms to your foot to eliminate hot spots, reduce break-in time, and provide a more secure fit. It also sports a collapsible heel so you can wear the Arakys as a laid-back slipper when you’re on belay. The leather footbed allows barefoot comfort, while the EVA midsole cushions your step when you’re hiking to a faraway crag for a bigger climbing mission. Vibram’s Light Approach outsole provides sure-footed grip on muddy trails and granite walls alike, and the MegaGrip rubber compound offers the right blend of durability, flex, and rigidity needed to handle everything from quick climbs to long approaches.

Access approach shoe comes in a leather version and a mesh version it’s available now you’re looking at $130 on. The mesh and 140 on the leather the idea. Behind the access was to have a very lightweight sporty approach shoe that was a running inspired and what we have. Here in the mid sole is a high rubber. Injected eba so you have a lot of pop. And feel it’s so a lot of support when. You’re hiking when you’re walking the shoes built on our stealth s1 rubber. Dottie outsole so you have full dottie outsole with the stealth rubber for optimal grip in all conditions the. Leather version actually features a protective toe cap as well so the. Leather version is going to have a material that’s gonna be a little bit more multi at weather condition then the. Mesh and you get the toe cap over there you’re also going to see our exoskeleton. And the idea behind the exoskeleton is to give more lateral support to the shoe so it wraps up underneath your heel. Around your arch and you get a nice good technical fit the leather will stretch. Just a tiny bit and the mesh ism is gonna be the synthetic there so you won’t receive any stretch on that end so yeah i mean this is a great shoe for. Really a lot of different functions in the outdoors and really happy to have it’s super lightweight and in just extremely versatile it’s available now it’s called the xs.

    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.

    La Sportiva Solution Climbing Shoe – Women’s

    The Women’s Solution Climbing Shoe is La Sportiva’s most popular answer to difficult boulder problems and steep sport routes. Drastically downturned, this shoe is one of the best for overhangs, scummy heel hooks, greasy smears, and microscopic edges. La Sportiva’s revered P3 Power Platform was first developed specifically for this shoe, and it retains the shoe’s aggressive downturn for the shoe’s life. A shoe this technical deserves its own special rubber compound, and it’s one of the few out there to feature Vibram’s XS Grip2 rubber, which is extremely stiff around the toe box and soft, supple, and thin at the heel and arch. With more flexibility at the heel, the Solution bends to your will when you’re toeing off-angled footholds and high-stepping the top-out.

    Apart from the new, flashy colors, this Solution maintains the same women-specific last and 3D-shaped heel that gave last season’s model such a solid fit. The Lock Harness System wraps the leather upper snugly around your foot for a customized feel that stretches only slightly, and the Lorica tongue adds subtle padded cushioning and ventilation. The Solution might sport the speediest closure out of any climbing shoe; its Fast Lacing System uses one hook-and-loop strap that cinches three separate sections for a snug fit that’s ready to go on-and-off after each boulder attempt.

  • La Sportiva’s popular shoe for bouldering and sport climbing
  • Sharp, asymmetric downturn engages an aggressive performance
  • Vibram XS Grip2 is stiff at the toe and soft at the heel and arch
  • P3 power platform retains the shoe’s aggressive profile for life
  • Lock Harness System unifies the upper for your foot for a comfy fit
  • Fast Lacing System with a quick-and-easy hook-and-loop adjustment
  • Women-specific last designed with a narrower platform and lower volume
  • Item #LSP00GR
  • Updated for 2018 the la sportive. Solution is a high-performance climbing. Shoe purpose-built to provide the solution for modern bouldering problems and sport routes covered in sticky. Vibram excess grip rubber the solution. Has a molded heel and some fancy engineering that helps retain the downturn shape of the shoe the highly. Adjustable fast lacing and lock harness system lets you tailor the fit and secures the shoe to your foot for ultimate control all of this comes. Together to create a shoe that hooks grabs edges and smears on any feature you can find.

    I’m everett i’m the athlete event. Manager for la sportiva i’m here to talk a little about the solution this is one of our higher-end sport and bouldering shoes relatively aggressive fit designed. For high performance climbing sport bouldering cutting edge traditional routes as well where you’re really looking for maximum performance out of the shoe one of the nice things about the solution is what we call our p3 platform that’s how the r and wraps around the heel here giving the shoe a permanent power of platform and down. Turn shape throughout the life a lot of times without this platform a downturn shoe you climb in it a couple times and it’s just flattened out and doesn’t have that precision the solution with the p3 platform will keep that throughout the life of the shoe giving you a really solid platform for edging we actually just introduced a women’s model as well it’s been a great hit for us the main difference between the men’s and the women’s solution is the women’s solution will actually use a little softer midsole so it’s a little more sensitive designed for a little lighter climber we honestly have a lot of guys who will move to the solution women’s as well if they’re looking for a little more sensitivity through the toe then the than the men’s version the women’s solution will also have a little narrower forefoot and heel la sportiva does use different molds between our men’s and women’s shoes you’ll see the shoe curves in pretty aggressively. And has this natural downturn shape that’s to concentrate power on your big toe and give you a really really powerful platform for super small edges. Because of that you tend to downsize the solution pretty aggressively you want to minimize the amount of volume in the shoe it really concentrates your power. And helps you have the utmost precision on small edges smears where you’ve really got to trust your feet they’ve all been hand built in italy we use high quality leathers vibram rubber so you. Get a really high performance shoe one of our most well known athletes danielwoods the solution is his go-to shoe we’ve sent him more pairs of those than anything else we actually we had one point during a trip where he was outside of our range and we couldn’t get him a pair of shoes he went and paid full retail for a pair of these shoes that’s how much he loves them pretty. Much all of his high-end boulders have been sent in a pair of solutions on the ladies side actually page causton has really taken to the solution women’s we’ve seen as many of our men jump into the solution woman’s as well again liking that little softer and more sensitive midsole so it gives you a little bit of a variety in the shoe if you’re looking for a little more edging precision or if you’re looking for a little more sensitivity for a route that requires a lot of smearing la sportiva is very very selective about their leather they actually get it from a ranch that uses no barbed wire around it. Meaning that you know normally a cow if it brushes up against barbed wire will end up with a little scrape or a scar which is a weak point in the leather la sportiva specifies that all the leather come from barbed wire less ranches that. Way you get a lot more quality in the leather you don’t have to worry about imperfections what that means for the climber is the sole is designed to be replaced you can get multiple resold out. Of our shoes whereas a lower budget shoes tend to use cheaper materials and they’ll break down over the life of one sole with the solution because it has a lot higher grade material it actually accepts multiple soles so you get a longer lifespan out of it i would say vertical to overhanging routes or what this shoes designed for if it’s lower angle climbing it’s a little aggressive for that you would actually want a little soft tissue that smears a bit better we’ve got some athletes of ours for example daniel goes down three and a. Half or maybe four sizes from history to which is ridiculous i don’t understand how he gets his foot in there but we have other athletes who are only maybe a full size down from their street shoe with the solution you are looking to maximize the performance so we do recommend downsizing everybody’s a little different what i would recommend those you want to feel your toes beginning to curl in the shoe obviously you don’t want them so painful you can’t put them on or stand to climb in them but the solution is a shoe that benefits. From downsizing the higher performance you’re looking for out of a shoe generally the smaller you want to go that way the shoe will both stretch out more to your foot and they’ll be less volume in there so you get a more precise fit.
