La Sportiva Solution 2018
|
I just saw the new Solution on Campsaver and wonder if anyone has already got one and could share how does it compare to the old solution? https://www.campsaver.com/la-sportiva-solution-men-s-climbing-shoes.html |
|
Ew. They keep getting uglier. |

Isaac Wong wrote: La SJW? they push the snowflake agenda! I wish I could try the womens versions of some of the shoes, but I have size 46 feet... and yet they say there's no biological difference between genders... the 2018 solution looks like someone was making a butora narshe but ran out of rubber in parts |
|
It's too bad, really, especially considering I wear my shoes for how they make me look and not how well they perform. I couldn't care less. If they are ugly and climb well, what's the big deal? Is your instagram feed going to be sullied by the '18 solutions? Then you don't need to find different shoes, you need to re-order your priorities. My apologies, that was unintentionally really salty. I think climbing shoes are inherently a bit silly looking. Nothing new here. |
|
It's literally exactly the same except for the strap, overlay it with the previous version and you'll see |
|
Maybe they fixed the strap? Here’s to hoping they put a bunch of the old ones on sale to clear out the inventory. :) |

Are these released and purchaseable ? Or is this a pre order? |
|
Why don’t you email them and report back? |

Called campsaver. They're expecting to get the shoe in January 25. seems odd, as the shoe isn't for sale anywhere else, including lasportiva's own website. |

I've had this happen myself as well as to multiple friends. You're basically pre-ordering when you buy from them as far as I'm concerned. |

A bunch of men sitting around talking about heels. Gotta love climbing. |

Ted Pinson wrote: http://www.backcountrygear.com/la-sportiva-climbing-shoes/clearance/yes.html Solutions, Miura Laces, Futuras, and the last few Katana velcros (all the styles that are getting updated colors this year) |
|
Don't count on Katanas to return, my local shop owner said they are a European only product |

Ted Pinson wrote: WTF they are climbing shoes not cars. We are at dirty crags not walking a fucking runway. Just make effective shoes and don't waste R&D money on making it more stylish ffs..... Also is it just me or did they get rid of the toe hook bump on the solutions? |
