Spirit Lady
Description
The women’s version of the best-selling Spirit VCR delivers the same high-end performance and all-day comfort with specific modifications to adapt to the subtleties of the female foot. Both the instep and arch are higher and the heel cup is shaped with a lower cut on both the outer and inner to guarantee a comfortable fit. Three VCR straps allow for precise adjustability and the synthetic upper and minimalist toe cap mold to the foot and reduce stretching over time while still giving the toes some room to flex into proper alignment in the toe box. The Spirit Lady VCR features the same leather foot bed and supportive midsole as the Spirit VCR along with the ImpactZone EVA cushioning in the heels for exceptional comfort on long routes. 4.2mm RX2 rubber provides good sensitivity, super grip and solid durability.

If you are in the market for women's fit shoes that excel at precise edging while still holding their own on smears; and if your goal is technical activities such as sport routes or moderate bouldering; then you could do well with these shoes. A slightly looser fit would also be at home on long trad multi-pitch routes. These aren't exactly the most technical shoe on the market (few if any women's specific models exist in that category, hint, hint) but if you're about to make the transition from a beginner to a regular climber and want a pair of shoes that will make that leap with you I suggest giving them a try. Indeed for me one of the biggest step ups in my climbing came from trusting tiny edges. Few women's specific models offer better edging ability and the triple velcro straps provide an accurate fit.
Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by these shoes.¬† For a teaching shoe, I will wear these until they die, and I cant wait to try them on a long, moderate multi-pitch climb. I would recommend the Spirit Lady to any beginner to intermediate female climber who wants good edging and smearing, a quick-adjusting fit, and a little extra comfort while standing or walking. Just watch the sizing and make sure you get them snug at first, because they will stretch a little. Bonus–they are a very affordable price.
This women’s Velcro is built on a trimmed-down version of the Spirit’s flat, asymmetrical last. The Spirit Lady comes with the “Impact Zone” foam-padded heel and sole, both of which our testers liked when bouldering. Red Chili’s 4.2mm RX1 rubber coats the sole. Testers also praised the shoe’s comfort: the unlined upper stretched somewhat, but the three straps did a great job customizing fit. Designed with a sharp, low-profile toe, the Spirit Lady excels at edging and pocket climbing, and its low-volume heel stuck to tenuous hooks, though one tester found smearing to be a challenge.
Adapted to fit lower-volume feet, and made with a flat, slightly asymmetric last, the Spirit Lady VCR is Red Chili’s first women’s-specific shoe. A lined, leather upper and Impact Zone cushioned heel create an all-around shoe that one tester described as “extremely comfortable.” Testers liked the shoe for bouldering because of the Impact Zone feature. The 4.2mm RX2 rubber proved super sticky, and the three hook-and-loop closures dial the fit with aplomb. But don’t expect exceptional performance; the shoes received average marks for edging, smearing, and sensitivity. For under $100, this shoe is a great buy.
