Women's colors are cooler anyway haha

I'm not sure that climbing shoes in general can really be classified as women and men specific, although I know that they're often marketed that way. Adam Ondra recently was wearing a "women's" solution comp on his left foot and a "men's" solution comp on his right foot for a boulder problem. La Sportiva shoes in particular have the same volume for the same size of both models ("men's theory" vs "women's theory" or "men's solution comp" vs "women's solution comp" etc.) The difference, at least with La Sportiva, is only in the softness of the shoe/sole thickness. Other brands do have the lower volume shoes marketed as the women's shoes or simply low volume. But you see both genders using the same shoes. For me, anyways, it's more about what works well for you and what can you get.

Best explanation of the differences between these shoes I've seen!

just got futuras and cant wait to climb in them.. glad to hear you like them

omg i didnt know you had a yt. ive been following your insta for a while now its so cool

Very nice. KEEP em coming!

Just swapped my solutions for theories and I'm in love. Having climbed several months and only indoors, the only difference I notice between them and solutions is they are at least 30% more comfortable. I found the toebox on the solutions not rly fuck up my big toe in several ways (and i tried 3 sizes of solution). Theories feel similar but the rubber is so soft, they seem to allow for more movement when needed without having to be permanently stretched. Its rly the only shoe I can tolerate with P3 and much more forgiving than either models of miura vs, skwama, or solutions. Havent tried futuras yet tho. Thanks for the advice!

What I like about your video is your honesty. Cool that la sportiva let's you do this. Makes me much more comfortable buying them instead of those who just claim that every shoe they have is perfect for everything

skwamas just bring the best fit for me since I have a wide foot. I have several other paires of shoes like theories and some tenayas but I only end up using them because my skwamas are thorn up and need new soles.

very useful opinions! thanks

Great explanations 👌. Thanks

Really enjoy your insights! Which one recommend for indoor only?

Can we get the sizes of all of these? Would help greatly in purchasing one pair after another 😊

Nice video ! My solutions comp lace juste broke and I have a few questions After trying some shoes in a shop : - i felt like futura was A LOT more confortable and soft than theories (i don't like heelcup of skwamas so it's a no go for me); also theories seems to fit smaller; how does theories stretch and keep their edging power with time ? - i felt that theories were more precise than futura, however I'm afraid that it theories edge will not stand... - how do you repair the lace-up of futura and solution ? Great video, greetings from 🇨🇵❤️

한글자막 너무 감사합니다!!!

How do u keep them clean/ not smelling bad? And how long they last?

Visually it's super clear, thanks! If you could have only 2, what those would be?

I love scarpa instinct vs! Zero break in needed. And 2nd sportiva miura vs but the break in period not so great.

자막 감사합니다😍

잘 봤습니다! 감사합니다!!

드뎌 한글 자막!

Had a bad experience with Solution Comps. The straps can break pretty quickly, mine only lasted for 6 months. Might last longer if you're are careful though.

Hello! Loved this shoe review video! Also, in need of help regarding sizing! My street shoe size is UK8 Currently wearing scarpa drago UK6.5 (tightest fit according to bananafingers website shoe calculator) It is extremely tight and i think i would prefer a UK7 instead The shoe calculator suggested me a UK6 in the solution comp women’s for a tight-ER fit instead, would that be ideal?

Have you every tried the butora shoes?

Climbing shoe companies are actually moving away from gendering shoes anyway. What we call women’s climbing shoes are just lower volume and typically softer than the men’s counterpart.

missed you

Are your sizes the same among those models? Does the Mantra has more edging power than Futura?

Very interesting what you are saying about i.e. the Skwama. For me, the heelhook does not hold at all, I only use them as a slab shoe and for comfy indoor climbs. For anything that I need to stand on an edge or heel/toe hook I use the Scarpa Instinct VS. Its until now the only shoe that actually fit my foot

Agree, solution comp are best, at least as a sport climber!

how much do you size down in skwamas?

Interested in where I could get those shoe bags you have in the video.

Can we get the sizing on the other models too? I've recently bought the Skwama's and I'm having a hard time breaking them although I "only" went down 2EU sizes.

There are so many explanation videos for La Sportiva shoes. This one is really the best. For example I totally agree with Futura beeing nice shoes but the 'no edge' thing is indeed not good on small edges (which is funny considering the name).

I really wanted to like the skwamas when I got them, but funny enough I really didn't like the heel on them. The heel is super stiff and has this reinforcing "bar" of rubber, which would probably be great if it fit my heel, but the heel cup is a good bit too big so I always felt my heel moving around inside the shoe, even when i wasnt heel hooking. I really prefer the way the heel is built in the futuras which allows it to collapse a bit, which sounds bad but just helps fit my foot better.

I wished I would finally find a shoe that is normal/high volumen in the toes area, but has a low instep and very small volume in the heel... that's my main struggle: it's either excrutiating pain in the toes and kind of ok heel (but never a bomber heel.... there is just always a big of dead space) or the toes feel ok (uncomfortable, but I can at least step on foothold without a lot of pain) but the heel is absolutely baggy and my heelhooks never stick....

Just a fact check, they all use the same rubber (which isn't stiff). They use the Grip 2 rubber, it being the soft rubber of Vibram. What makes one shoe stiffer than the other is the midsole. So saying this rubber is very stiff, it's inaccurate. Some might have 3 or 3,5mm of rubber, which allows you to have more or less sensitivity.

have you ever tried any scarpa shoes?

Are all these shoes the same size (36 EU)?

I get the women's shoes because they are softer (to me) and the colors are better lol

how tall are you if u dont mind me asking

Thats why i prefer unisex colors instead!

Lad how is your finger?

Ondra wore this women's solution comp. Let that guy ask Adam. And btw, their colors are much better.

I mean I’m sure you do enjoy these models but seeing as this is a sponsored video it’s a little questionable when every shoe is a la sportiva one. Especially considering la sportiva shoes are notoriously ill fitting for Asian feet

L’uomo che usa di meno i piedi al mondo fa le recensioni delle scarpette?!?!?😂😂😂😂😂

한국인 유튜브 영상을 보는데 한글자막을 켜야 하다니 ㅠ.ㅠ

the Theory hurts my feet so bad indoor.. I was so disappointed. I think I am back to my solutions because of it 😢 too soft

i don't get people who say why you are climbing in girl's shoes.. like it's a shoe. for climbing. who the f cares what gender it's for, it's for climbing!!!

street shoe size 38 --> lasportiva size 36, so is it 2 sizes down? why do you say 3 sizes down?

°°°

man you're great, but sorry actually you're downsizing 2 not 3.. 😅

its useless to talk about stiff or soft shoes without telling your weight. Its not about the brand or model, it should be about your feet. Your footshape is important to know. Are they wide or thin, high or flat? Egyptian feet (big toe longest), greek feet (2nd toe longest) or roman feet? Female/low volume versions of some shoe models use the softer grip/2 rubber than the stiffer edge rubber from vibram. Some brands got their own rubber like Boreal, 5ten, evolve. For me - weighting ~75kg - all these models are soft shoes. I would not use or recommend any of them for edging. These are soft, performance shoes for overhang climbing/bouldering in high climbing grades. I tested the theory&skwama models. Theory is just ridiculous soft, too sensitive and can be painfull for wide roman feet. Skwama are good for wide, flat feet and they are soft. I still prefer the stiffer edge rubber otaki model as a comfortable allrounder (wide, flat, egyptian/greek shape). A stiff shoe and my model for mostly vertical rock climbing is the miura VS (normal, but high volume, egyptian shape). Similar would be the boostic from Scarpa. For bouldering/gym I use the boreal satori because that shoe is super confortable, soft and the rubber is very durable. For thin flat feet the Tenaya models are absolutely amazing in comfort and btw having the best velcro system of all climbing shoes. Scarpa has a great chart about their models: stiffness, feet shape&form and purpose are listed.
