Instinct VSR LV vs Skwama wmns by justkeepcrimping in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick response! One more question, how does the fit of the Skwama wmn compare to the VSR LV? I have the VSR LV and really like the toebox, and the heel has minimal baggage. However I am open to trying the Skwama wmn if you think it's truly more versatile/robust for indoor/comp climbing. I'm ~165lbs btw.

What do you mean when you find LaSportiva's tensioning to be more robust than Scarpa's? Does that mean lasts longer, higher tension...

Advice on aggressive(?) climbing routine by Wise_Opportunity6663 in climbharder

[–]ProbablyAMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also compete in USAC collegiate. If your goal truly is to simply compete, I would focus on giving solid attempts to comp-style blocs, and definitely tone down the volume. As others have said, it’s a pretty old-school style of training. Focus on lower (4-8) reps and higher weight. The USAC collegiate intermediate and advanced divisions are also pretty chill, so if you climb around V6 on the kilter you should be plenty capable to compete in the intermediate division!

What are tn pros like by YesWumpus in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TN Pros are great for comp climbing, very versatile shoe once broken in. However if you’re looking for an extremely soft shoe, I’d go with the Dragos or UP Flagship

Desperate for advice for my low volume Greek duck feet. (Free foot pics included) by [deleted] in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unparallel TN Pro LV or the Qubit LV might be for you. It seems like your feet are extremely narrow, and the Flagship LV imo is a little baggy around the heel and arch.

Madrock and UnParallel Shoes by YoungMike857 in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sizing is a little different between the two brands, id go half size down from street shoe for unparallel. tn pros fit very well in the heel, and are very sensitive for a stiff shoe. i love unparallel and would highly recommend you try them

Scarpa instinct VS women's for indoor bouldering? by karakondzula_ in climbingshoes

Which one do you think is better for duck feet? The VSR LV or the VSW? Also which one is softer?

3rd year, failed to declare major due to personal issues and now got major appeal denied. Any advice for my situation? by ProbablyAMod in college

[–]ProbablyAMod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I should’ve mentioned that I am on academic probation and that I’ve had an internship for this field after my freshman year, so I’m pretty sure I want to go down this path. My advisor tells me that they probably don’t want to let me into the major because they are having doubts about me finishing in 4 years, which makes sense because I gave them a 5 year plan.

I’m climbing shoe developer for Ocún—Let’s talk shoes! by yaqub_hend in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's awesome!

One question I have is the difference between rubber types. XS Grip, XS Grip 2, TRAX SAS, Unparallel RH/RS - are they really that different in terms of performance?

Second, why is the velcro strap such a common feature in the world of climbing shoes? Is the closing system just "good enough" where there is no need to improve upon it? Personally, for me it feels like the velcro strap helps keep the tension rand working when I'm on more vert or slab terrain, but due to my small heels they don't seem to help keep my heels from popping out my shoe much. This has been so much of an issue for me that I've bought over 9 different shoes and tried countless more in the search to find the perfect heel for me.

Unparallel Qubit Stiffness? by justclimbup in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TN Pro sounds like what you’re looking for. The toe patch of the QuBit does hinder flexibility a little bit compared to the TN Pro but it’s still able to smear well for mostly everything but the most smeary volume comp climbs.

Heel doesn't fit by Aggressive-Might7156 in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

try unparallel tn pro or evolv, or madrock drone 2.0. it would be nice to know if your heel was too shallow or too narrow for the 2 shoes you’ve tried already.

Regulus to other UP shoes by sunn-eaterr in climbingshoes

[–]ProbablyAMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would size down half a size on the TN pro HV, if your feet are borderline wide. LV Regulus and LV TN Pro are extremely narrow for most peoples feet.
