SCARPA Generator Mid vs La Sportiva TC Pro

The La Sportiva TC Pro has been an iconic shoe for a while now, it’s pretty much the Yosemite shoe. But SCARPA now has the Generator Mid, and I think it gives the TC Pro a run for its money.

SCARPA Phantom Tech HD Comparison (New & Old)
Team Scarpa
Have you tried attaching a different rounded shaped toe bail? Eg the bd toe bail to the darts? This is what im considering. Have you found other crampons to fit the phantom techs better? Cheers
I followed his advice. I’m a 10.5 and bought 11 and they are amazing.
Is G-Tech warm enough for ascent to Elbrus and Aconcagua?
Because the G-Tech is a single boot it'd be iffy for Elbrus just because it's close to being a 6000m peak. Basically the rule of thumb is that if your objective is around 6000m you'll need a double boot to handle the cold that you'll experience at that elevation. For an objective like Aconcagua, a double boot is necessary. Now what style of double boot is up to you, La Sportiva makes a boot that can be a double boot and a single boot, that boot is the G-Summit. You might want to look into that one for the objectives you want to do. But a more traditional style double boot would be something like the La Sportiva G2 EVO or the SCARPA Phantom 6000.
@@TheBelaytionship Thanks for sharing. I was always under impression that the G-summit is a 7000m boot so for mountains like Elbrus or Aconcagua is overkill. G2 is always an option and with it I couldn’t go wrong. G-tech was recommended but mountaineers who already summited both Elbrus and Aconcagua. Reviews online suggest that G-tech can easily be worn on -20C without feeling any cold. It foremost person dependent. We are all built different
How warm is G-Tech? I wanted to purchase them for my ascent to Elbrus and Aconcagua.
Er nur quatscht, anstatt zu zeigen, wie es praktisch funktioniert.
I just got them and they are great but the size is a whole size difference. I have the Carin Geo in a 7 but in the Carin evo C I got a size 6 and they are still a little big. But I do like the cushion. The Carin Geo have no Cushion and hurt my feet really bad. They no longer make the Carin Geo. I hear they will resole them if you email them because of the warranty?
Been thinking about trying these since TC's after a long day absolutely dig into my achilles. Hearing you talk about that issue has got me real interested in the Generators now.
Have you tried the BD aspect pro ? Read some really good review on mountain project, Would be very interested to hear how it compare with the generator mid.
Toe box isn’t as tall, and it’s less stiff than the generator. The aspect pro feels like a TC mixed with a high-end sport shoe. It’s very nimble.
¿El cierre es resistente?
Does the softer footbed still offer enough protection from stepping on sharp rocks and debris when hiking? I have the older Cairn Evos and they really are harsh but they are stiff enough to give some foot protection from rocks.
The softer footbed definitely offers a good amount of protection against rocks, I think because they changed the outsole from Vibram Megagrip (softer rubber) to Vibram Trek (harder rubber) the outsole is now the main source of rock protection instead of the footbed.
Nice
Just a few basic tips on injuries I’ve dealt with and how I have been trying to prevent them! Super happy that I can share some of my experiences :) if you’re dealing with an injury these tips might help, but it’s also super important to see a professional! Happy climbing everyone! 🧗🏼♀️
Equalise the audio properly it is too low and put a limiter too so that it in not too loud
damn, yea, my toes are at the end of mine too, might have to return for a bigger size.
Such a lovely and professional review my friend! 👌👌
how are they for heel hooking?
I would say they’re pretty mediocre for heel hooking. Because they have a pretty high volume heel it can definitely feel uncertain. I’ve had them for long enough now that I can trust them (even when I feel like they’re sliding), but at first it was rough!
Can this shoes can be use for hiking ?
They can, but I would say there are better approach shoes for hiking (something like the tx4 EVO from La Sportiva) The tx2 EVO is kinda like a street shoe disguised as an approach shoe, meaning it’s not gonna be comfortable for long hikes.
Thanks for the review! This was super helpful for me trying to choose between the Evo C and Evo 3D. I’m mostly looking at an urban trip with lots of concrete, and also needed a shoe I could wear to the beach & kayaking. Seems like the Evo C will be the best choice for walking on lots of concrete.
If there’s any concrete involved the Evo C is definitely the better option, and I’m glad the video was helpful!
For the love of god at least get a pair of safety glasses from the hardware store, they are like 10 bucks, why on earth would you risk it like that. It is really poor taste to make a video on a subject without properly thinking about safety concern, expecially when you are trying to make people interested in a discipline.
Really good reviews, not just the same boring stuff other places have. Informed through actual experience
I use these for wet wading while fly fishing, they are absolutely fantastic. If the waters cold you can use them with the yulex hybrid booties and wet suit bottoms. This is actually better than waders: cheaper, more durable, lighter. Best kept secret in backcountry fly fishing
I’m so happy I’ve been able to get into dry tooling! It’s definitely a lot less complicated than I expected! Super pumped to make more videos with you!
We love drytooling! We have a cave in our basement !
Great information! I am getting back into rockclimbing, but it’s been about 10 years, I’m leaning towards the shoe. I don’t really care about brands, would this be a great option to get back into? Most of the climbing I’m going to be doing is going to be on limestone but also in the gym, probably 50-50. i’ve never been really great at climbing, I guess I would consider myself a solid 5.10 climber
Right on! And yeah this would be a great shoe to get back into climbing with. The rubber it has will be perfect for climbing on limestone and the straps will make it easy to get them off quickly in the gym. It’s a shoe that should handle everything you throw at it. The only other shoe I would recommend would be the new Katana (with the Velcro straps)
What's the difference between these ones and Phantom 6000? Which one is better?
The Phantom Tech is a single boot and the Phantom 6000 is a double boot, the better boot depends on your objective and/or the temperatures you’ll be seeing. Double boots perform great in really cold weather and higher altitudes (6000m), but they tend to be bulky and not the most nimble for ice climbing. Single boots perform really well for ice climbing, and for peaks below 6000m. But they do have a limit on temp just due to the nature of a single boot (prolonged exposure in negative temperatures won’t go well).
Did you prefer the katana lace or muiras? I’m in between these two shoes for outdoor sport climbing mainly.
I definitely prefer my Katanas over my Miuras just based on comfort, the Miuras can be quite painful at times. Both are very similar in terms of performance
@@TheBelaytionship thanks!
Great review. I appreciate the detail and sincerity. I’ve been deciding between the Evo 3D and the Evo C. Leaning towards the C
I wanted to love these so bad! I'm normally a size 13, ordered the mountain clog in 14. They were a great fit except for the width. These are not good for people with wide feet. Hoping one day they offer a wide version.
You just saved me from buying these with your comment! Sounds like we have the same foot shape and size. What have you found that fits you good? How many cm wide are you?
Thanks for the review. I’m on the fence about buying them, but your personal testimony has helped me. Do you normally wear a 10 or 10.5? I’m a 10.5, but it looks like I should order an 11. Thanks.
Glad the review helped! I wear a 10.5
@@TheBelaytionship Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I Look forward to more videos. God Bless!
Get a 10
Just a follow-up to help others: I received the clogs in the mail. I wear a 10.5 and, as recommended, ordered an 11. They fit great. Thanks! God Bless!
I just got a pair. I’m a size 9.5 in sneakers and 9 in boots. For some reason I had to go up to an 11 because with a 10 my heel hung over. Sizing seems to be a little inconsistent
Only review I could find…and it’s good! A limitation as an approach shoe is socks. The toe strap messes with socks for switching with climbing shoes and socks.
Is the cushioning softer than other bedrocks, or is there just “more” of the same cushioning that they use on the other lines?
It's wayyyyyy softer than other bedrocks, and it's a totally different cushioning than previous sandals, definitely more plush and springy
Curious to see how the non pfas dwr holds up, I don’t expect it to be equal or better than a pfas version. But time will tell
Is it a slim fit or regular fit? Looks to me it's a regular fit.
Yep, it's a regular fit
Can you review the Arcteryx alpha parka I have a older version just wondering if anything has changed there’s not many reviews out there on it
whats your street shoe size?
My street shoe size is 44
Soooo excited to make my debut!
great review! got mine 3 days ago, your review definitely verifies my decision to buy that jacket.
thanks for your tips. really helpful. I wanna get one pair for multipitches. Should i get this ones or solution? Thanks!
If you're gonna do multi-pitch the Katanas will be the best option, their more natural downturn will perform better for all day comfort. The Solutions shine for single pitch or bouldering but not so much for multi-pitch.
That was super helpful. Thanks for putting this together!
I own and still use OG Miuras that are going on 20 years, and just picked up the revised version with the tighter heel. I train in the gym, climb on Squamish granite and it is a king shoe for smear slabs, sharp edges, and of course, cracks. Stiff; takes awhile to break-in. It's a lined shoe, I only downsize 1.5 euro sizes and they fit like a glove. Jack of all trades.
I’m a big climber, 6’4” and 250 lbs, and I got my first pair of katanas about 5 years ago and they have supported my big self the whole way, both Indoor and outdoor. I really like the extra support and feel as though I can trust my weight on an edge. My OG katanas have had 2 half re soles and I’ve found they have lost some umph with the edging capability because the half rubber replacements seem to not support throughout the entire footbed. Considering if it’s time for a new pair, another re sole to extend a few months or try something more all day comfort oriented like TC pro or generator mid. Have any thoughts on that?
I've been actually testing the SCARPA Generator Mid recently and I've got to say it's like the perfect blend between the Katanas and the TC Pro, it's aggressive enough while still being a great all day comfort shoe. So if you were already considering the Generator Mid I'd definitely go for it just because it's really the best of both worlds.
I have been using Patagonia clothing for years and I have really had good products with the Patagonia Torrentshell that I have even used it for mountaineering without any problem; However, I will go for this jacket since the Goretex Pro are too 600, 700 or even almost 1000 dollars like the Arcteryx, which have gone up excessively like North Face. Patagonia is not cheap but it has increased much less in price than other brands and in my country where there is an official distributor their prices have hardly changed for years. Definitely Patagonia and even cheaper military clothing lines will continue to be in my outdoor clothing catalog for many years. ❤
Hey man. Love your dedication and hustle to making lots of content. But can you get to the point quicker. You said the boot is heavier. Then took 2 minutes to keep saying the same thing, until you actually told us what was making the weight. Keep up the good work mate. You've got my full support!!!!
Hi Kellen, Thank you for the review! I have a big favor to ask: can you please tell me what was the hottest temperature on which you've used these boots for trekking and if your feet got sweaty (how much) or not? I was planning to buy Aequilibrium Hike GTX for summer hiking and trekking, but my size is currently unavailable in my country so I was thinking of Aequilibrium Trek GTX (with leather). Then I saw your video and I am taking ST GTX into consideration. What do you think?
Probably the hottest temperature I've used them would be around 32 C, and they didn't really get sweaty. The GORE-TEX that they used in this boot is one of the more breathable versions of GORE-TEX and that's been apparent throughout the past few years. I will say thought that the leather version will probably retain a bit more heat than the synthetic version, not a whole lot but you'll definitely notice it. But just be aware that the Aequilibrium ST is still a mountaineering boot, so there's a good chance that it'll be stiffer than the Trek version. But if you don't mind a stiffer boot the ST would definitely be a great boot!
How does the forefoot area compare to the Nepal? Is it wider or narrower? Lower or higher volume? Thanks for the review!
It's about the same in terms of width, the biggest difference between the Nepal last and the Aequilibrium last is the volume, the Aequilibrium is very low volume.
this was a decent review and I’ll say I appreciate the fact you made this
°°°
Isn t this suppose to work in slim fit for trapping heat?🤔
Is it ok for Mera Peak or is it too much? Which one would you recommend?
