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.

What's up guys peter here from reviews. On anything and in this video we're looking at climbing shoes not your everyday topic but very interesting these are the last 45 tarantula. Shoes in kiwi color i kid you not and. They are designed for climbing obviously this is an all-round climbing shoe that functions well on plastic so when you're climbing on indoor climbing hole but also well on rock when your bouldering or doing outdoor climbing set you back. Around 70 to 90 bucks depending on where. You buy them and if you can find a good deal online and there are a good sorts of. Media spectacles climbing shoe the top. Is made of leather and as you can tell by the straps already this is a shoe that's designed to be tight when you're buying a climbing shoe you really want it to be an extension of your foot because you can imagine obviously when you're climbing you really want to be well in touch with all your connection. Points to the wall that you're climbing actually so these shoes are meant to be. Tight and that's right then of all these loops on them so you can actually pull. Then in place properly obviously it. Should be so tight that it restricts blood flow to your foot this is size 42. For me which is very snug there's like. Hardly any room left for my toes but. Since it's leather it'll wear in a. Little bit and actually bombing in for a few times it becomes more comfortable but definitely climbing shoes unless. You're familiar with the brand and the sizing don't buy him online on seeing on. Try it really go to a store put them on see how. They feel maybe even take it for a test climb if that's possible to make sure you have the proper fit because there's nothing worse obviously than being halfway up a boulder and realizing that your shoes too tight and you can't continue that's a not a nice situation. Now you can open these shoes up pretty. Much all the way like so to make sure. You know that you can get your foot in. Properly and get it adjusted so that the. Desired titus is right for you which is. Great then we move to the business end. Of the which is obviously sole because this is. The part you're going to use to grip on any kind of climbing wall now it's made. Of something, they call friction rubber which according to them works really well on both plastics on inner climbing. And outdoor which is great that means you can use it around any way you want really the sole. Is one point eight millimeters thick which means it's not a very aggressive. Shoe you know there's a bit of flex in it obviously but it's you know a very. Solid platform to stand on so if you're a climber that wants to you know fully flex his foot and bend it in all kinds. Of shapes this probably not to shoot for you because the soul is just too thick and a bit too stiff for that but with extra cutting here around the tone extra. Cutting here around the heel it's a shoe that's fits very well in pretty much any kind of environment and i personally like shoes like this that are a little. Less aggressive because i like to really utilize a shoe in order to make my way. Up and if your shoe gets too aggressive. That i feel than just wearing socks so. This is a really substantial soul and a really substantial addition to your foot in order to climb the shoe only weighs. 290 gram so you know nice and light shouldn't hamper you too much and i find. Then actually quite comfortable and i. Think the adjustment on the top is awesome to make sure you get a good fit. And i really like that they've thought this through from a climbers perspective and actually put the loops all around the shoe to make sure you can actually put it on nice and tight as far as your. Ability goes i tried about a few times not a mark on them really and it does. Indeed, work really well on both plastic and rocks and although i think it's a. Very accessible shoe maybe when you're. Just getting into climbing like me this. Is something you can definitely pick up without the hitch and get started with and especially at the price point it's a. Decent shoe not sure about the color but hey I'm sure that you can find something that matches your own personal tastes and overall i think it's a good shoe that. Does exactly what it needs to do and makes no secrets about what it's supposed to do i like it's good too. And at the price point you can be sure. To be having a good time in this is peter from reviews on anything with a look at the lust $45 uncle ah shoes hope. You guys enjoy the video and I'll catch you in the next one cheers.

This comfortable shoe is easy to use and. Easy to get on and off in a flash the unlined upper is excellent for moisture management and super comfortable on your foot all day the shape is round and. Higher volume for the climber not looking to mangle their feet yet aggressive enough to perform when needed the highly adjustable closure system adapts to multiple foot types and shapes.

Hey guys is a quick unboxing video this. Issue that you've got from rocking so. We're just gonna take a quick look at it i do fancy I'm just gonna leave one of. Then's here now. The box you see below it that's the box that it came in with okay, so we did. Shipping that puts a box at the concert. Okay so here's the shoe. When you're getting one of these shoes you really have to think about the size you might be just a half size bigger. Then what usually our normal size so um. You should be ten and a half or eleven and for these shoes I'm actually them in that so you don't have to go into that. Now that's not rock climbing shoes but sometimes it goes down. Shipping took around seven days okay was. Supposed to take three quincy websites however it takes seven. Did free shipping so there was no traffic number like that so with free shipping there will just leave the box right in front of your house you don't have a side braid going on don't you think box back so it could. Be a good thing right anyway anyways its funny thing that. Quality-wise looks okay when we didn't. Notice a little rip here right. Anyways that's it for this unboxing video you guys are the questions comments you can write them below and don't forget to subscribe and rate thank. You.

Hello rock-climbing friend i have. Something super exciting today to share. With you i would like to share with you. My experience using la sportive. Tantalize rock climbing shoes I'm. Extremely happy and satisfied with this. Purchase and i would like to show you. Why i have recently started a rock. Climbing again and I'm extremely happy. With those shoes and obviously the. Reason why is because these shoes are a. Great for beginner or intermediate. Climber these shoes are extremely comfortable. I'm absolutely amazed how comfortable. They are and i believe one of the reason. Is that they're relatively wide so it's. Easy to put your foot in you have. Control over how tight you want to have. It with the lysis and yes that comfort. It's absolutely unbelievable. These shoes are equipped with high. Friction rubber so they really nicely. Stick to the rock you can see how thick. It is also that means they will last for. A while before you will have to buy. Another pair or just replace the bottom. And let's have a look inside as you can. See it's all leather so these shoes will. Definitely snack your food nicely as well. They will definitely stretch now how. Much this shoes will stretch well. Watching la sportive page and some. Guidance they will stretch approximately. One size now when i was purchasing these. I actually went one and half size down. What i normally wear and they are still. Very comfortable they don't hurt my feet. At all they are easy to get in and out. Thanks to these two clasps here the heel. It's also very nice and comfortable you. Can grab the rock with it that's pretty cool so i definitely highly. Recommend this a la sporty bus i try. Many rock climbing shoes. Before i did this purchase and for my. Relatively wide foot these were fitting. The best if you are in similar situation. Like i was definitely don't forget try. This model before you purchase anything. These shoes are coming with this box and. Also with a nice warranty information is. Included in the box. There is also nice comparison size chart. On the back of the box i hope you can. Read it and it can be helpful to you i. Really hope you find this little review. Helpful and please stay tuned because way more videos about rock climbing gear. Are coming very soon thank you for. Watching and have a wonderful day.

Then the shoe itself my feet suffered quite a busy and just when i thought it was paying off the paper like mid sole started peeling away i thought removing the bottom part of the insole would help but my feet were exhausted and achy after weeks of trying to stretch the shoe and i was forced to find the most minimalist insole i could find after trial and error see i went.

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. You. You.

Squaw ma sensitive snug-fitting flexible. Climbing shoe ideal for top performance both on rock walls and in the gym. Maximum sensibility and precision as. Heel allows perfect stability in torsion. Enhancing performance for keel looking. So in two parts to enhance longitudinal. Flexibility protecting out to grip your. Rubber insert for overheads vibram. Excessive weight to 4,000,000 soul squaw. Ma it feels like skin it protects like. Scale.

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.

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.

Features of the scarpa men's techno ex climbing shoe by tension active rounding. System provides maximum toe power comfort fit heel with low rubber tension. Libram excess edge provides incredible. Grip and durability technical flat. Lasted construction delivers all-day comfort and performance a symmetrical. Power lacing system creates a better fit this product can only be shipped within. The united states learn more about the. Scarpa men's techno ex rock climbing. Shoe by clicking the link below the video now.

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. 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.
