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.

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.

잘 봤습니다! 감사합니다!!

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.

how much do you size down in skwamas?

Have you every tried the butora shoes?

Very nice. KEEP em coming!

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!!!

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

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

Just swapped my solutions for theories and I'm in love.

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

한글자막 너무 감사합니다!!!

자막 감사합니다😍

드뎌 한글 자막!

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

very useful opinions! thanks

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.
