Black Diamond Shadow LV Climbing Shoes - When your project is so steep that it's throwing shadows in all directions, it's time for a secret weapon.
The Shadow LV was specially designed for overhanging sport climbing routes and designed heavy bouldering problems. It features a lightweight, high-camber last and Black Diamond's high-friction sole rubber that's shaped, not stamped, similar to Black Diamond's forged carabiner. With this technical solution we optimize the rubber and edges of the shoe for weight, consistency and comfort.
The Shadow is constructed from a rigid microfiber upper and bonded with an innovative combination of bonded and molded high performance rubber. The molded rubber parts are strategically placed in particularly stressed zones. The applied rubber slims the shoe and in combination with the other layers of rubber offers improved sensitivity and great grip on toehooks. The tongue of the shoe uses Black Diamond's Engineered Knit Technology, which provides additional breathability, better freedom of movement and more comfort. The Shadow's minimalist sole center offers a high degree of sensitivity and the necessary pretension in overhangs.
