Shadow LV
Description
The dream shoe for steep, aggressive climbing, the Shadow LV is a low-volume downturned Velcro shoe built for pulling HARD. Featuring our extra-sticky Fuse molded rubber with added friction strips for better toe-hooking, and a durable microfiber upper combined with our Engineered Knit Technology tongue, the Shadow LV is ready to send your project.
When your project is so steep that it always casts a shadow, that’s when you bust out these secret weapons. Built for overhanging sport routes and hard bouldering, the Shadow LV features an aggressive, downturned last that’s low volume and paired with our molded sticky rubber—inspired by the way we forge our carabiners—and not cut from one sheet of rubber. This is our engineered solution to optimize our shoe’s rubber and rands for weight, consistency and comfort. The Shadow features a stretch resistant microfiber upper, and the shoe's vamp features an innovative combination of printed and molded high friction rubber. The molded rubber is strategically placed in high-use areas, while the printed rubber minimizes bulk, and in combination, these rubbers provide better top of foot dexterity and purchase when toe-hooking. The tongue is made from our Engineered Knit Technology, which is exceptionally breathable and increases mobility and comfort. With a minimalist midsole, the Shadow is ultra-sensitive and allows you to pull in on steep terrain.

After over 50 pitches of use, the Zone’s molded rubber still looks crisp and edges well. The printed rubber accents across the top of the shoe have also survived nicely and continue to add confidence for hard toe-hooking moves. The knit upper and the Velcro straps are in better-than-expected condition. The only real wear to the straps occurred when testing the shoes in sandstone cracks, which is, admittedly, a big ask for these shoes. Not what they’re designed for.
