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.

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

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.

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. Upper is designed to stretch about a half a size to multi your foot and the single velcro strap is designed for comfort and ease of access the stealth. C4 outsole is thicker than most downturn. Shoes giving the stiffest profile and a 5/10 aggressive line and a supportive feel on your foot.

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.
