I have recently gotten a pair and been using them for a few weeks now. Previously I fit very well into the UP shoes (Lace, Rise, and Rise Pro). I also fit well into the NewTros. I usually wear 8.5 for all and the same is true of the Qubit, but it fits a little tighter for me. It only took a couple of sessions to break in perfectly, and combines a lot of the things I like about all the above shoes - it felt like the perfect shoe after using the flat UP series for a long time - better than the NewTro imo. The heel is perhaps a tiny bit narrow for my heel, but so far this hasn't been a problem. The toe rubber is awesome, and reminds me of what I liked about the UP Rise Pros. I also don't have particularly narrow feet, more of an average or medium size and shape, so I would say don't be put off trying a pair if you think it is just for a narrow foot. The only downside is the same downside for all Unparallel velcro shoes unfortunately, which is the strap loop - it is plastic, and will definitely break in time (this happened on my UP Rise velcros.)
How does the Qubit compare to the UP TN Pro & UP Lyra in terms of both specs & fit? I have a teeny tiny heel so it's really hard for me to find a good fit..
Had my eye on these shoes since I watched the videos you guys made in Japan! I always wore the 5.10 Crawe, but looks as though Adidas Five Ten aren't making climbing shoes anymore. How should the Qubit be sized/downsized? This would be my first pair of Unparallel 👍
They fit great for me. Also with a „regular“ foot shape. I did not get the impression they are too narrow. But thy offer an amazing toe patch and are great to stay on small footholds. I love them! 🤩
Even if i felt they were a narrow shoe if you adjust the size and try the Normal volume version it might be the right shoe for you. So if you get a chance just try them
I sent back a pair of UP Flagship Pro because the quality of their build surprisingly looked very poor. Then I got Qubits and after one month I can say they are my favorite bouldering shoes. Bye bye my lovely Skwamas.
If you really think about it being vegan kills more animals per meal than eating only meat by a very large margin😂 in order to grow those crops they have to till that field which kills every mouse or vole or worm or rabbit etc. literally everything in that field and then what doesnt die from tilling it they poison the shit out of anything left if i kill 1 cow that can feed my family for 3-6 months guess its really just question of how cute or big does the animal have to be for you to care about it dying so you can eat
@@SkyBumsthat’s probably true but not everybody wants dead animal skin on their feet. Beside, leather climbing shoes are not superior in terms of climbing performance so why choose the product that comes with questionable ethics?
@@SkyBums Sustainability and ethics are different things. A blunt example (not a comparison, mind you): killing people is "sustainable" as it reduces emissions, but it is certainly not ethical. Also, assessing sustainability is tricky... Are you taking all the emissions produced by the animals into account? All that goes into it like water consumption, polution caused by manure, land use, etc? How do we compare that to other materials exactly?
Does it also measure fluorescence?
😂

Hey thank you for sharing! 🙏
@dailyclimbing did she go street size, up or down?

Definitely try the Qubit, they do fit differently than the Flagship Pros

Looks like an awesome shoe!
Its a bummer that they are made for narrow feet. Do you know which unparallel model woud fit wide feet best?
Test them, me and my climbing buddy find them very hard to put on and take off with average feet. Unfortunately this is a dealbreaker for me.
I believe that the souped up is a wide shoe but pretty much boulder only

Blue Hiangle returns!
And your foot won’t turn out a smurf… jk try them they’re not the same
Too expensive ✨
Thank you for mentioning it is vegan in the description :)
Yes, for me this is important that the show is vegan.

Why? Leather products are more sustainable and last much longer
