Top 17 Cheapest Climbing Footwear for Ladies

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.

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.

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.

Well hello there welcome to gear up. Again and my name is aaron and this is. My living room in case you couldn’t tell. We’re not gonna do a tour today check. Out the new face tracking yeah so today. We’re gonna talk about another quick. Update on the black diamond momentum. Shoes remember these guys deliver as. Promised so i plan for another week with. This and it still doesn’t smell that’s. Pretty sweet now it is a little bit lighter than my previous evolve shoes and my evolve shoes are weighed in 304 grams. These guys are 277 grams. Get rid take so it is lighter but not by. Much it doesn’t make a difference they’re roughly the same size so take it for. What it is the rubber the more fun with. It i feel like it needs to soften up a. Little bit i hope it soft enough softens. Up last week i mentioned that smearing is really great on tiny holes i kind of. Am on the fence on that statement now. Again because the more climb with it there are a couple of problems i did elevenses on slabs where i just had to smear the. Wall not a hole and so just and the wall was kind of rough at my gym and this. Rubber is kind of stiff compared to evolve and I’m not sure if it just. Needs to wear in or something it just doesn’t spread as much if you know what i mean it’s its just not as soft and when i press it against the wall I’ll show you a video clip of me at a gym at some point but when it presses down. Against a slab wall not a hole mind. You I’m just trying to get some friction in tis doesn’t so that’s the downside i found out as well. That the rubber is toros rubber in case. You’re not familiar with their at south korean company that’s making really great shoes black diamond makes these. Shoes in the same factory in china as patara, so they shared the same rubber. Whatever that means other than that i. Find this shoes still good it’s still. Kind of pinching my left big toe from. Time to time well quite a bit actually my right side seems to spread out some. So i hope it’s its wearing in and i. Hope it’s not because I’m using a size. To be small or something but that would suck adjust ability is great all the bell. Crows you know just you know typical velcro shoes breath ability really helps when you’re picking a rest in between and to you know why you’re been laying in such now an interesting quirk about this. Weave that i found out is more stared at. It reminded me of my place mat in my. Kitchen this is from ikea and look at that material and look at that design it’s about the same if you’re interested. This is the snob pig it’s for people who. Are big snobs so that’s my update for. This week for this shoe and stay tuned. For next week when I’ll give you more information hopefully and find out more after climbing with this in this for. Another week before i do a one month. Wrap up on this thing well that’s it for. This vlog thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe below to support my channel you guys have been awesome and watching and supporting me and being. Patient as i make really crappy videos but I’m trying to get better and hopefully i have better content don’t. Forget to thumb up if you liked it and thumbs down if you pronounce yukia as ikea you’ve. Been doing it wrong all this time google. It trusts me I’m right. That’s it signing off.

Now this is where a black diamond. Climbing shoe box and then we thought of. See this day but black diamond has gone. Into the climbing shoe business and they. Just launched this back in june now i. Was supposed to do a full on full review. In a month for the new momentum shoe that’s the one i bought and wanted to test out and give you my opinion about. It but i thought I’ll just do a quick update on this after i climbed this. Climb with this for a couple of times and these are my initial impressions so. Check it out so this is a new momentum. Shoe men’s at least the ladies comes in. Red and gray and the guys come in blue. And gray it’s a nice little stealthy. Shoe that looks like your gym rental yes it is a basic beginner intermediate shoe. Totally rockin now black diamond talks a. Lot about their new weaving aisle here. You look closely is very similar to your. Athletic shoes it’s breathable and odor. Free when he needs to and it’s nice and. Structural on your heels and on your toe. Box and it stretches when he needs to. Now I’ve climbed with this a couple of times as i said and i feel like it’s a. Little bit tighter than some like my own shoe which was synthetic leather and i. Can remember this after climbing one or. Two sessions it started to loosen up this one my toes do hurts and I’ll give you further impressions as. Time goes by but initial impressions. This is less stretchy than your synthetic leather or leather shoes. Obviously now that said this the. Firmness that it comes with it gives it a little bit more control and edging is. Awesome sensitivity is not that great because the soul is flat and thick but. What it does is really well as edging it gives it a pretty good stiffness right here and I’ve been able to step on. Really small holes that i couldn’t with this small holes on this thing it was. Like a big hole so it’s really great now. What any time will tell what the velcro is gonna do whether it was fitting to the ends or things like that as velcro straps tend to do but it seems. Like it’s built on two separate levels there’s the velcro and stitching right. Underneath a inset of a leather tab so i. Think longevity might be good here the. Other part is that they always they talked about with this knitting is odor. Free or less odor and it will sit we’ll. Find out about that now the rubber comes in three different. Kinds that black diamond creates now and. It is this one is the neo friction and i. Hope it holds up well it seems to be on. Par if not better than a lot of. Equivalent brands out there so black. Diamond great go that’s my initial. Impression of this shoe I’m gonna keep climbing it in for a few more weeks but I’ll update you guys every week and anything i find and do a wrap up at the. And it’s so thank you for watching remember to thumb up if you like this video don’t. Dump down okay this thumbs up and.

American debut of black diamonds climbing shoe collection so we’re really excited about this debut because like I’m has been a huge player in the climbing gear state for decades but

Hi I’m lynn the technical shoe designer here at black diamond and remember last. Year when we introduced the shoe line we had four new models as the initial. Launch of the shoe program and this year we’re going to add one model to that range and if you can remember we started. Off with this nice flat all knit shoe. For comfort breath ability and price and. Then what we did was we came up with a. Leather version stiffer and more durable. For more outside long route type of. Climbing the full strength full length. Midsole is stiffer so that will support your feet for longer days climbing and. Then we had a soft high-performance. Mostly indoor are very steep rock climbing shoe called the shadow that allows us to grab and pull with our feet. And then the focus very soon here will. Be on the market is the stiffer version that allows us to have a lot more. Support on smaller holds for the type of climbing where we have more weight on our feet compared to the type of climbing where we’re climbing on deeper overhanging rock with a shadow place so. This is the softest shoe in our line and this is the stiffest shoe currently in. Our line the new shoe the zone will fall. Right in the middle and the zone will. Have all the feature benefits of a. Knitted upper in terms of breath ability in terms of quick drying in terms of. Keeping your feet from not sweating too. Much and also comfort but instead of now. Having a flat profile like we did in the. Momentum we’re gonna know curl our toes and get it in a much more powerful position in the same position actually the same last and the same shape as our shadow the zone will come in four colors. And two volumes a regular volume and then a low volume. And when we mean by low volume is across. The ball of the foot it’s narrower and it’s lower volume behind the toes all. The way up to the instep strap lower. Volume in the heel and also low volume in the heel cup, and we want to make sure. That we point out that it’s actually a volume difference and not a male-female because we have men who have skinny. Narrower lower volume feet as well and so as you look at the entire color range. The colors are more gender neutral so. That a woman that has a wide foot is. Fine in these colors and then a man with a narrow foot will be finding these colors as well okay so again a cambered shape two straps and. You notice the rear strap here this time is nice and wide so it contains our. Instep better for heel hooking and for. General edging it also has a full length mid sole that’s stiff to help support our. Feet on smaller holds so that’s the zone coming in spring nineteen retailing for 130 euros. You.

Heisman from black diamond and remember. We launched this line of rock shoes last summer the knit really resonated well. With the public and what we heard was. That they wanted a shoe like this that was built on a more cambered lash to. Give us a better performance really so. That’s what the new zone shoe is knit. Upper two straps the instep strap is. Nice and wide to give us better containment here we have rubber print. For toe hooking protection, and we have a shaped mid sole the new zone will be. Available January 1st 2019 the retail. Price in the us is 139 with this shoe. What you’re gonna get is a high performance all knit the softest shoe in. Our line in terms of high performance q is the shadow have no mid sole and the. Stiffness will be the focus this has a mid sole it has a nice built up upper so. Gives you better control on small edges and then in the middle we have the focus. So the best all-around sport climbing shoe that we have is this you call the focus I’m sorry this new shoe called the zone we have a regular volume. And then we have a low volume I’m willing about low volume is that it’ll be narrower the bottom of this foot here. And low from the back of the toes all. The way to the instep okay and then. Lower heel volume here and. Lower heel arch volume here the reason. Why we won’t call it a man’s and a. Women’s is because advanced climbers are more into the idea of a fit then they. Are specifically men’s or women and if. You look at all the colors that we offer the shoes in their gender neutral so you. Can have a wide high volume footed woman. And she’d be okay with these colors and conversely we can have a narrow man. Who would be okay with these colors all. The things we wanted in it we learned. That the public wanted the same exact thing the breath ability the nice next to. Skin the quick drying it breathes so. Well that your feet just don’t sweat as much and so end of a bouldering session you’re not swimming around inside your of your shoes because of their. Acceptance of the momentum it’s why we came up with this shoe if you bought a momentum shoe and you really liked it. But you wanted more performance because now your climbing better you want to graduate up to the zone we do line the knit so that we get a little bit better. Control and edge strength just the knit. Alone as a layer is way more breathable. Then leather or microfiber and a lot of. Leathers and microfiber also get a liner for the exact same reason so it’s not. Super different other than the fact that. If you compare apples to apples the knit. Itself is more breathable cooler faster. Drying than the synthetics of any others if you compare lengths these two are the. Same size foot one allows your toes to. Stay flat one allows you to curl your toes and the difference in the two is if. You want power you want to clinch your fist okay and. This is more like clenching your fist to. Getting power into your shoes or your. Foot or this is more of a comfort this. Heel shape is a better fitting heel. Shape than this one and the reason is. That this is a high-performance shoe so. We needed to fit better in this area it. Looks the same but there’s been a lot more work into thinning out the rubber. And the stretching it so that it forms to that shape a lot better super higher performance shoes you actually have an. Extra piece, so we can put more tension in different areas to get us the optimal. Fit now we had to do a lot more work with this to get us a fit but it’s not. Going to be optimized compared to listen. To focus that’s why this is we consider this a. Price point high-performance shoe so the. Perforations of the bottom serve two purposes the first one is it echoes the. Perforations we have in the strap and. This lightens up the strata as a visual cue they tie in to one another and the other thing that’s really important is it allows this area of the outsole to be. More elastic so that we can actually put. Tension here so now as you step down on the toes here you’re gonna feel tension. All the way to the back of the heel and. It contains our foot gives us more power. In the tails

Hey I’m nathan welcome to the scarpa. Booth so i thought maybe you’re here you’d like to see the new model of the vapor so vapor is actually one of our. Most popular climbing shoes mainly because they’re very balanced they do a little bit of everything and most people haven’t got to the stage where they have three four five pairs of climbing shoes, and they want one climbing shoe that does a little bit of everything they’re a seven panel design so most people. Think that the intermediate they’re not we’ve actually got just as many pieces as a drago so and the pattern that. Stitches them is very hard to do it’s a very small kicker at the front here you can even see the outline on the shoe and that’s because the toe position in vapor is a little bit flatter that’s because vapor we really wanted to. Make it an aging and smearing shoe that. Had a good balance between either the first version of the vapor was almost all ever and then the next version of. The vapor was a combination of synthetic and other materials and then the last version of the vapor that we got here is. Synthetic on both sides with a leather at the bottom so the version before i. Had suede leather on the inside here, and we exchanged that from microfiber and. That made the upper a little bit softer as well as we reduce the volume of the tongue and tapered it a little bit so that made the whole shoe a little bit softer, so we put a new plastic insert on the inside and previously. Would have heard that we had flex and plastic inserts we use that a lot from the performance models and the new vapor has a tail and plastic insert and the. Tail is just a little bit stiffer we also extended the plastic up and over the heel so it just gave a little bit more structure to the shoe because changing out the leather for the synthetic softened the upper, and we didn’t want to change the characteristic of the shoe very much for climbing we just really wanted to make it a little bit more comfortable and a little less of breaking in period but the same performance one of the other things that you’ll notice it’s got a excess grip to. Here with two layers so that’s something that we previously did on the instinct model and a lot of people really liked it, so we put this onto the model it adds a little bit more labor but it gives the heel the ability to. Change shape and obviously it gives the best rubber for heel hooking on the other side so overall we improved. Basically the characteristics so the. Shoe could break in a little bit faster but in the end the shoe remains on the. Same last with the same shape and just a. Color update and a softening of the upper and a stiffening of the mid sole the vapor woman’s and the vapor men’s. Are on different lasts so they have. Different rubbers so you’ll see this sample prototypes got excess edge it’s actually excess group two on the women’s and it’s excess edge on the men’s but. That’s not really the biggest difference the biggest difference is the total volume of the shoe so especially in the heel the volume is a lot narrower and more sculptured on the female version than it is on the male i mean a. Lot of people are choosing the shoes off the outside looks it’s not what we want. We want them to look inside and climb with the shoe but in the end the velcro. Strap looked a little bit nicer with a little bit of 3d print pulling it out the strapless is the same we did insert. A piece of elastic in the middle here just to kind of keep that flat and keep. A real snug fit because we felt the straps just pulled in two points and the middle point didn’t get pulled in enough so that’s why the velcro versions. Changed slightly on either side we did a lot of changes on it in the hope that we. Would make it more comfortable but changed nothing about the characteristic of the shoe and you know in the end that meant that we changed the whole mid sole the shape and the plastic so it’s its. Probably it is yeah it’s a totally. Different shoe with the same characteristic when you climb but um i think it shows that you can’t just fit all with one layer and not affect the whole shoot so each layer has an. Effect doesn’t matter what you do even just changing the material will change the way it comes out at 2019 and. The price is a moderate increase but i. Think it’s marginal five bucks ten. Bucks yeah, so we tried as much as we could to keep the same price but obviously there’s a little bit more work especially in the heel it’s gone from a single layer here or to a dual layer.
