Adam Ondra & La Sportiva's 'Ondra Comp' Shoes Revealed | Climbing Daily Ep.2401

[@jacob171]

really appreciate the in-depth edging conversation here, real eye opener

[@ajgoldsmith377]

That’s what I’ve been saying, we don’t talk enough about edging as a community. Glad someone’s brave enough to speak out

I can't wait to edge better with these shoes! Taking my edging skills to the next level!!

[@sovereignyx3158]

Finally a La Sportiva shoe with a narrow heel!! I am very excited about it! Definitely will try them out!

[@RubinKlein25]

A Drago with a narrow heel would be my perfect shoe, this sounds quite similar so I am eager to try them out.

[@sovereignyx3158]

@@RubinKlein25 Sounds good! :) Mine would be a Solution Comp with the 3d heel of the Madrock Drones… best technologies of both worlds

[@LucasLima-xc1rd]

​@@RubinKlein25doesn't Drago LV work for you?

[@river4267]

@@LucasLima-xc1rd LV just reduces the depth. The width stays about the same which is quite large. Seems to be an ongoing issue with climbing shoes nowadays because most climbers I've talked to have issues with the width and depth of their heel.

[@MbareNinni]

Adam reveal it's greatness. I think he's finally the first person introducing climber's weight on "stiffness" talk of climbing shoe. If you're 90kgs a Miura isn't that stiff, and a Skwama would be unefficinet at all.

[@LukisaNumi]

Cant wait for the gooning shoe

[@quinnthompson]

Glad to see another EpicTV video! I've been missing the news show!

[@jlhkiller9]

TL:DR Adam needed a Drago from La Sportiva

[@Scheeringiscaring]

With a narrower heel, bc the drago heel feels huge to me

[@miloplayz7474]

DRAGO LV👆

[@river4267]

@@miloplayz7474does not solve the abnormal width of the heel, only the depth

[@miloplayz7474]

@@river4267 I know, but I found that the LV heel felt WAY smaller on all sides than the normal drago. Could just be my foot shape

Nailed It 😂😂😂

[@jameslouizbuilds]

Finally starting to see more conversions about the benefits of edging in climbing.

[@mp7140]

Finally a narrow heel🙏 Thank you Adam!!! I hope they will do it also for the shoes for the outdoor climbing. Especialy womans.

[@Boyro]

Wow, very informative I didn't realize you needed shoes for edging!? You learn something new every day.

[@Basows12]

Underrated comment!

[@that_which_is_not]

Proper promo for a product release. Great stuff

[@tjackman]

Im edging with these shoes already! Cant wait to get to the wall and teach all my buds how to edge / smedge.

[@jesuscontreras124]

Its great to see that signatue more often. Congratulations.

[@Barcelona0006]

Kind of forgot about this channel and then realized I havent watched a news show in months! Hope everything is ok!

[@1337-David]

We all know he needed a new thin and soft shoe with extra protection for those thin jams in the cellar

[@Olan...]

Brilliant ..and this is from the man that Invented Scliming.........Screaming and climbing :)

[@sevifc2528]

I think that was actually Chris Sharma not Adam

[@dantequartermain3595]

please do a similar design but for the Solution and its toe hook rubber! keeping its tension system

[@papalegba6796]

Most anticipated by Adam ondra, as they're made to fit him, not everybody else 😂

[@Hesh_Mast]

I love edging. Definitely my favorite climbing skill 😉

[@picasadeluxe]

It is a public secret that many old Legends used and many athlets use different pairs of shoes for disciplines like Alpinism, Lead, Gym, Cracks and Bouldering. The problem with La Sportiva Shoes is always to find the right size because of the natural leather. (steet 44, > 41,5 La Sportiva, every model is different . Scarpa shoes use a synthetic leather witch makes it a bit easier in contrary to street size. Be sure that the new Ondra Comp supports especially Adam Ondra, and for many reasons it is very expensive and shall be very expensive ! :)

[@Mitzbergatc]

I thought the Futura already covered the edging on sloppy edges plus smearing field

[@miloplayz7474]

Maybe this is made to be better?

[@LemonLimeFlavoured]

yes edging is essential for modern climbing

[@tomriddle2257]

I really hated the solution comp, let’s see if this one is better. My favorite shoes are the Instinct VSR.

[@MSHNKTRL]

This is the only time I've seen Adam NOT smile; these shoes must be killer.

[@georgebaldwin5456]

La Sportiva's response to the popularity of Scarpa Dragos. I can't wear Dragos, so I can't wait to grab a pair of these! The colorway is BadAss!

[@xenonsens]

Where is the news show?

[@NoName-kt6ly]

really looking forward to trying this show, since my heels are very narrow

[@Miura.Powers]

Did he just claim the origian for the word smeding? Big Fan, nice Shoe and thanks for the Video ;)

[@pbuehner]

I noticed that too. The word smedging has been around for a long time.

[@LadyLaddy]

Nice interview. I enjoyed all the climbing facts. It was way more as just a shoe presentation, thanks :)

[@dailyclimbing]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

[@XLessThanZ]

Interesting concept, the horseshoe with the soft rubber within. That sounds like it would work on the type of foot hold Adam mentioned. 🤔

[@barneyadams9869]

Like a goats foot!

[@vincentmamotos9937]

release date?

[@myxtyputty9634]

Nice I really hoped that the shoe would be good for edging, especially because I like to edge all the time. Really glad that I can now edge with a perfect shoe. Liberté, fraternité et égalité. I REALLY really love to edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@spenceringram8104]

sus

[@dave.chk.youtube]

I really need to try these

[@leslo5]

Thanks for the information, but I was quite disappointed that you didn't ask if there was going to be a LV/women's version of the shoe. The No Edge family of shoes is also getting updated this year and so far, but LS has only showcased the men's/HV versions. I have tried men's shoes in the same size but they don't fit nearly as well as their counterparts. Guess all this hype might be irrelevant for me and nearly all the women and those with LV feet? (however male dominated this sport might be)

[@shrill_2165]

I wonder how it feels compared to the solution comp and the theorys

[@danielparsons2859]

Great looking shoe.

[@alistaircorstorphine7469]

Those look amazing

[@Theaddekalk]

i have to go really down on size for getting my heels to fit. so a narrow heel, would be perfect for me

[@fizzelmydizzel]

Now Adam Ondra is the Michael Jordan of Sport climbing 😂❤.

[@kevin1ee]

What happened to the news show? 😢

[@robertpepper5256]

I love Adam, but “smedging” to mean smearing over a small edge has been in popular use in northeastern USA for at least 25 years :)

Sonnie trotter using smedging for the route Presto in Squamish.

[@ArcticLaw]

La spo just needs to make the solution but with a strap that allows them to be resoled no chance you can resole them without the strap breaking before the second rubber. Like the strap on this shoe.

[@recbeatloop]

The next shoe for Soratu Anraku , Ondra Comp ! :))

[@petroliva1414]

When will it be available in more stores?

[@dailyclimbing]

Sometime in Autumn

[@3dorz]

unparallel flagship version of la sportiva...

[@mikafull]

why?

[@3dorz]

​@@mikafullslipper type of shoe with one strap, split sole with soft rubber but harder on the tip of the toes, narrow heel and massive rubber for toe hooking now so much asymmetrical...

[@mikafull]

@@3dorz the heel is not that narrow, the Onda comp has more rubber on the toe, scarpa has this kind of midsole since the furia and I can't say if there is already a shoe out there with the same combination. But to say it is just a copy... Comeon

Ladies, don’t be afraid of edging. You can totally do it in these shoes too.

[@johnmcho]

This timing is great. I was practicing a comp style problem last night and ate it after my foot popped off a volume. The Solution comps weren't optimal for that style.

[@dailyclimbing]

hahaha that's great to hear!

[@giacomocasanova2893]

solution comps are lead shoes

[@vablo7198]

I prefer the Ozone High Volume Edging shoes for my edging sessions.

[@zacharylaschober]

La Sportiva took another venture into hyper specialized shoes alike the victory of the TC Pro but realized the Theory only stands on macros marginally better but has no support for pressing through garbage footholds. Scarpa did this better with the Furia line, extremely agile, but kept some big toe support, and no one uses those in competitions because other Scarpa shoes do the crux footholds better as with the Drago, Chimera, and Instinct.

[@alexlin8328]

they come 2 sizes smaller than you ordered them with a bottle of baby oil and some extra plastic sheets

[@MrHappy-oq7ot]

I thought la sportiva skwama where soft enough and with good toe power to perform well for smedging,i guess this is only for indoor while skwama a bit stiffer for rock, please add this heel to skwamas and solution lv

[@miloplayz7474]

Cut all the marketing away and you realise that if your a heavy climber, youl never edge well in anything other than a stiff stiff shoe. you can still smeer well if you keep your heels down!

So how much did Sportiva pay you for this video? Or do you do it for the EpicTv shop advertisement? Sorry to be the downer. But I miss the actual climbing news. Long time no videos and then just a 100% product placement video? :(

[@scytaletleilax]

I'll never understand why downsizing shoes, if it's for more toes power, just choose edging shoes, your street size, and the bigger surface of contact will work well on volume ... even for toes hook

[@allanzhou6778]

if you send v16 and say that I will surely consider

[@baldeepsingh8698]

You want the shoe to feel stuck to your foot. Almost like a second skin. Downsizing helps massively with this and you get a lot less "give" in the movement of the shoe. Its also very shoe dependent. I downsize 2 in my Mantra's but I take them off after a few attempts. My katana lace is downsized 1.5 and I never take them off.

[@scytaletleilax]

@@baldeepsingh8698 For sure i don't talk about rental shoes, but for me i have 5.10, i don't downsize and they are very stuck.

[@zacharylaschober]

my tightest shoes are my edging shoes as the shoe will never be stiff enough to support itself and help hold the toes in a position to press through and pull in on small edges. More agile and softer shoes need to allow the foot to shift positions, and folks often downsize soft shoes because they want the high sensitivity but use them for edging, defeating the purpose.

[@scytaletleilax]

​@@allanzhou6778 stupid mind, if your coach don't send V16, you don't listen him?

[@CaldDesheft]

[@adrienl4949]

Maybe theory are still too stiff for Adam because he downsize them 4 sizes 😂 these are already crazy soft

[@scherry2900]

They are not to stiff for hin in total. He talks about the front edge which is stiff based on the big amount of rubber. I like the theory and the front edge is not soft in my option.

[@WutTheFink]

Looks like theory and skwama had a kid

[@SpartaSpartan117]

Ah so it is a COMPromise Adam I see

[@barneyadams9869]

[@mikafull]

min 170€ I would guess

[@CharveL88]

@@mikafull Yeah, I be thinking 200€ just for the branding. There's a point where shoes seem to do too much of the work if you need super bespoke rubber formulations and stuff. Then when the costs get so high for that extra help, you can't help but start seeing every smear leaving a couple € on the wall...
