Black Diamond Shadow Lv Climbing Shoes

When your project is so steep that it casts shadows in all directions, it's time for a secret weapon. The Shadow LV has been specifically designed for overhanging sport climbing routes and difficult bouldering problems. It features a lightweight last with strong camber and our sole rubber with particularly high friction values, which is shaped rather than stamped, similar to our forged carabiners. With this technical solution, we optimize the rubber and the edges of the shoe in terms of weight, consistency, and comfort. The Shadow is made from a durable microfiber upper and is combined with an innovative blend of glued and molded high-performance rubber. The molded rubber parts are strategically placed in particularly stressed areas. The applied rubber streamlines the shoe and, in combination with the other rubber layers, provides improved sensitivity and excellent grip for toe hooks. Our Engineered Knit Technology is used in the tongue of the shoe, ensuring additional breathability, better freedom of movement, and increased comfort. The minimalist midsole of the Shadow offers a high degree of sensitivity and the necessary tension for overhangs.
