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. Subscribe to this to keep up to date on get kept up to date on gear up reviews. Thanks for watching.

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

I am been brands me I'm here with the evolve spark this is actually my shoe I've had it for a couple of months now been tried climbing it having a great time because

Hi my name is matt I'm with evolve. Climbing and we have a lot of new. Shoes to show ya very first two we're gonna talk about our night hawk and sky hawk these are $79 entry-level shoes all. Leather upper with a synthetic closure system so that the leather breaks in and stretches to your foot the synthetic part keeps that fit and that performance out of it so for a $79 shoe these things are actually amazingly comfortable for all levels of climbers the big difference between the defiant electra and the nighthawk sky hawk are velcro versus lace-up fully synthetic. With an antimicrobial liner and then. Leather similar fit but not quite identical and these are $89 price point due to the synthetic and the antimicrobial layer the defy and the nighthawk are both our higher volume men's fit and then the electra and the. Skyhawk are the lower volume we did a different upper pattern on the sky hawk versus the nighthawk so when you pick up the shoe it actually looks like a different shoe because it actually is a. Different shoe it's a different fit different shape lower volume we want them to be available for men or women. That just happen to have a lower volume or higher volume foot.

Everybody just want to do a quick review on the 510 guide. Teni just order these off of amazon. Wanted something for canyoning for slick rock just so i wasn't slipping. Around on you know the rocks and need. Some good grip these are awesome for hiking approach. Shoes they've got the super sticky. Stealth rubber and you know that's going. To be really awesome for those canyon walls and it's a really good build. Quality i just got these from fedex. Today the guy dropped me off and you. Now these are awesome shoes i. Just had to run a Walmart really quickly. So I've only had them on for like 30 minutes but man they are already so comfortable, and they're not going to be. A problem for you know those long days and i think you know when I've got a few. Hours in them they're going to be even better once they're broken in so yeah i. Think these are really good shoes and. Can't wait to take them out.

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.

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.

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.

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.
