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

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. Excess grip here so it takes a little. But more work to do that most people. Just don't realize how much work goes into the climbing shoes if you put a relative price on the climbing shoes compared to some of the other shoes that the margins are actually pretty small they take a long time to make and. There's a lot of handwork in them, but we're capped by having the most expensive prices on the market i think people just don't understand how long it takes, and we've got you know 38 of our. 39 models are all made in italy, so we haven't got the alternative of cheaper manufacturing or anything like that.

Today we're going to check out the scarf of a pervy this shoe really bridges the. Gap between beginner and expert shoes and has a great balance of precise fit. Good comfort and all-round performance. The shape features a slightly downturn. Toe and fairly straight but wide forefoot the heel is snug enough for heel hooking and the velcro closure makes them quick and easy to take off between pitches or bolder problems if you're fairly new to. Climbing and you're looking for a one shoe quiver that does bouldering trad and sport climbing equally well this is. Definitely a good contender. You. You.

These are this discovers vapor viii and. This actually the shoot i wore for the hardest track line I've ever done in my life a couple of months ago in canada called the path and the reason i wore these is that if you is I'm climbing. Or something which is like vertical or slightly overhanging these are brilliant. For standing on tiny edges they're. Really comfortable they're easy to get on and off, and they worked perfectly for. What i wanted to use them for so these are a really good shoe for someone who's looking for shoe that does everything you know they want to climb down the wall they want to climb outside they want to get tracked climb you know when you're sport climbing and yet date and. Clouds use these on I'm climbing heat, and so they're pretty handy couple of. Things about them is that they've got this toe patch or the rubber patch on the toe so you can toe hurt with them making crackling with him as well but on the front part of the shoes made out a LOLICA and that's synthetic and it doesn't stretch at all it looks like suede but it's not so the. Cool thing about that is when you put your foot into this like really buy it to fit you know like size-wise i take a. Forty three in normal shoes and i take. These and forty-three as well so i don't go down at all my mountain boots are. Size 44 to give me a bit more space for like ice and mix climbing but yeah they. Don't stretch tall the back parts made out of suede but it's got a slingshot heel on here which really retains the shape of the last and yeah they're. They've got a real narrow heel actually then the new heel is brilliant fits. Really nicely so yeah great shoots. Really good all-rounder actually and yeah you can use them for everything really like.

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.

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.

We're gonna check out the new squaw maroc soon from la sportive the squaw. Nur is targeted mainly at boulders of competition climbing and a lot of attention has been paid to both the toe box and heel construction a rubber insert over the toes will help while hooking the back of the shoe features a padding ton s heel design which helps to hold the foot steady on high torsion moves the stability of the shoe is further enhanced by the sole being constructed in two parts providing greater flexibility along the length of the shoe and preventing the heel from being pulled out of place on tenuous heel hooks this is an extremely sensitive and very flexible shoe that fits into last 40 was range as a slightly less aggressive cousin to the solution that will suit intermediate-to-advanced boulders.

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.
