Hi my name is barry I’m the general. Manager of unique outfitters and I’m here today at stone summit climbing and fitness center to talk to you a little bit about the red chilly spirit vcr let’s get into the details so some of. The features of the red chilly spirit are it’s synthetic upper which is going to limit the stretch on the shoe over the lifetime of the shoe it has three velcro closures which give you a lot. More variability and how tight you can get the chute in the back here there’s a little bit of a bulbous heel here and there’s a piece of eba foam up under. There that acts of the shock absorber if you come down on to a hard surface. The proprietary rubber on the bottom is a sticky rubber compound developed by red chilly it retains an edge really well and it’s quite sticky and last but. Not least you’ll notice that we have two pull tabs in the rear so you can really crank the shoe on with these so in my. Experience with this shoe some of the things that have you noticed about it that are really cool are one that it has on the inside of the. Toe box a microfiber lining which is nice and comfortable not a lot of other companies do that your knuckles kind of hit it and you go oh that’s nice it’s a. Very neutral shoe so it’s relatively flat across the bottom it’s great for. All-day comfort it doesn’t have a really high profile toe box which allows your. Totally a little flatter in it making it great for beginners or people seeking that nice all-day multi-pitch chute one. Think i wouldn’t recommend it for is extremely steep or overhanging climbing. Because it doesn’t have that down turn to really hook and pull when you need it to but beyond that it really works as an. All-around shoe. Thanks for joining us today my name is barry and this has been the red chilly spirit climbing shoe presented by unique outfitters.

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.
Most climbs don’t cost anything at all, with an exception to a hike that shreds your leg muscles, lungs, and the Five Ten Women’s Access Approach Shoe.

Hey I’m ricked with 510, and we’re here talking with back country ski in canada about our new access approach to our. 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.

This climbing shoe features Five Ten’s original Stealth C4 rubber covering a moderately stiff platform that allows a technical performance on vertical, crimpy routes as well as overhangs.
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.

Hey guys my name is mark busby I’m the climbing category manager for scarpa north america and I’m here to talk about our collection and focus on some of the new shoes that are in here to begin with trying to give a quick overview we’ve got the all-day performance part of the line which includes the origins the helix is the forces and the maestro’s and these shoes are all categorized by having a quite a flat kind of heel to toe profile and not being too asymmetric in their footprints. Sitting above those we’ve got the performance particle line which is made up of two families we’ve got the vapor family with the vapor viii s and the vapor laces we’ve got the instinct family with the iconic instinct vs and the instinct vs are this kind of. Part of the line has got a bit more curve in the heel stoke profile and a little bit more asymmetry in the footprint in the top part of line fuel. They specialize in performance parts of line we’ve got a bit more downtown. Introduced into the heel to toe profile and a bit a more degree more asymmetry in the inner footprints and this part of. The line starts with very malleable soft. Sand sensitive shoes on this side with a new furry rest the drago and the chimera, and then we run through into more supportive kind of die made shoes like the boo stick and like the mego so. Within the scrapper line we’ve got 22 different lasts we’ve got multiple different kind of uppers we’ve got different degrees of tension in that in the active rending so no matter what you are doing whether you’re new to the sport or whether you’re a world cup competitor there’s definitely something in the scarpa line for you.
The hardest sends always seem to happen when you least expect it—you’re not feeling great, or you’re tired, or you don’t really care, and then BANG! You’re topping out. The Mad Rock Lotus Women’s Climbing shoe aims to give you that top-out buzz every climb, with an aggressive downturn, slipper-style design that’s ideal for extra-steep sport climbs and boulder problems.

The top of the shoe features Mad Rock’s Power Upper rubber toe patch to help you work your way through those overhanging toe-hooky problems, and the Edge heel is ridged to help you lock onto tenuous heel hooks. One hook-and-loop strap complements the Lotus’ snug fit—the synthetic Syn Flex upper won’t stretch or deform like leather—making the Lotus’ super-easy to take on and off in between redpoint attempts.
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.
The La Sportiva Women’s Oxygym Climbing Shoe features a female-specific fit that makes this shoe narrower with a lower overall volume compared to men’s shoes. Whether you’re a novice or a certifiable gym rat, this shoe gives you all-day comfort and the confidence necessary to stretch like your arachnid idol.
Crafted from synthetic WashTex fabric, this shoe shouldn’t stretch too much, even after you spend two straight weeks working out a tough top-rope route indoors. Minimal asymmetry and a neutral profile make it easy to wear this sticky shoe for hours on end while you work slabby under-vert problems or slightly over-vert routes. The round toe takes to a variety of surfaces, and braving an actual outdoor rock for a wee bit of cragging doesn’t require a separate shoe. The patented hook-and-loop closure system gives you two points of adjustment for a highly personal fit. Slip-lasted construction takes away a bit of stiffness so your wait for the wall isn’t an agonizing experience.
FriXion RS rubber on the bottom is the stickiest sole La Sportiva makes. AirTex Silver lining manages foot moisture and minimizes stink by creating a hostile environment towards odor-causing bugs. The 1.8mm LaspoFlex midsole gives this shoe a thin shot of torsional rigidity while protecting your footsteps from the ground below. An anti-shock EVA heel insert means you can actually walk more than two steps in this shoe without falling on the ground in paw pain. WashTex fabric lets you throw this shoe in the washing machine when it starts to move up the wall on its own.
Synthetic three-layer wash text external fabric keeps the shoe clean and hygienic. Internal breathable fabric allows for moisture wicking super comfortable for extended use patented hook and loop. Closure system allows personalized fit i. Love these shoes instantly for several reasons they are really great for narrow. Feet snug fitting heel they stretch where they need to accommodate getting a smaller size especially across. The top of the toe they breathe well and are washable i bought mine 2.5 sizes smaller than my. Normal shoe size it was e rough the. First climb but after that they felt incredible i am a much stronger climber. With these bad boys the heel and arch support is amazing the sole is flexible. Yet strong i have only climbed indoors with these. As they are meant to be gym shoes but i look forward to trying outdoor terrains i imagine they’ll do well there too.
Not many people are strictly single-discipline climbers; it’s more fun to switch between sport, trad, bouldering, and gym climbing, which means you either need a quiver of shoes or a pair that can handle everything you throw at it, like the Mad Rock Lyra Women’s Climbing Shoe. With a moderately asymmetrical shape, a shape-retaining Tek Flex synthetic upper, and relatively flat sole, the Lyra can move from bolt-clipping to pebble-wrestling to gear-plugging to plastic-pulling without sacrificing performance or comfort. The Arch Flex polycarbonate midsole and dual hook-and-loop straps provide a supportive, glove-like fit, while the 3.8mm Science Friction 3.0 rubber sticks to slabs, jibs, and dishes with equal aplomb.
For the boulderers and serious sport climbers out there, the Lyra features a 3D-molded Torque heel, which has a super-snug fit and has been outfitted with textured X5 rubber for maximum grip, hold, and sensitivity when you’re heel hooking your way up your newest problem. There’s a rubber patch on top of the toe, too, to assist with toe hooks, and a slightly elastic R2 rand that hugs your foot without squeezing it to death.
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.

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.

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.
Moderately downturned, Boreal’s Diabola Climbing Shoe serves senders looking to step up their game on harder, steeper boulders and routes.

Boreal reinforced the split leather upper and double hook-and-loop straps with sturdy Lorica to reduce stretching and increase longevity. The Diabola also features a padded tongue for forefoot comfort while crack climbing, and the soft midsole works with the grippy FS-Quattro rubber sole to ensure solid traction on edges, slabs, and overhangs.

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. Shoes head over to arc’teryx calm then. Be sure to subscribe and follow get out. There magazine on our youtube channel You.
