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.

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.

Coming it's got a really comfortable heel that also has this s heel stability. Plastic piece there sometimes when your.

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.
