Great review! I've been wearing the QuBits for the last 3 months, and they're exactly how you described. Especially the surprising sensitivity for it being a stiff shoe.
Sounds very similar to the experience that I had myself with the regulus. Thanks for the review btw, I am looking forward to eventually owning a pair of the qubits :)
What sold me on them is they have the original “cheater” heel design from the 5.10 Anasazi of old. It’s great for precise heels on outside chips and crimps.
Zach, have you ever thought about transitioning outdoor at all? I would love to see you on some outdoor routes or the hard boulders. I'm guessing comp's come first but you should dabble in the outdoors.
The heels is slightly bigger when compared to the TN pros. I wear the same size for all my UP shoes and have the qubit and qubit lv. You can really feed the dead space when heel hooking small edges.
Im really confused about your sizing information. I bought a pair of Qubits in a US 8 M, and they are incredibly hard and painful to get on. Im talking 5 minutes, and my feet are incredibly red all the way around (not just the toes and heel). Im an 8.5 street, EU 39 in solutions, EU 39.5 in instincts, so it doesn't make sense how you're using (potentially) the same size as me in the Qubits when im a full size smaller than you in everything else. Is the break-in period really that brutal? Im not sure if i should return them and wait 3-4 weeks for a new size or if i should commit to the break-in period.
I've tried both and ended up buying Qubits for outdoor bouldering and sport climbing. TN Pro was incredibly difficult to get into in street shoe size, -0.5 and -1 was impossible. Mostly because of toe box that was hurting a ton. Qubit, none of these issues but the heel is baggy for me no matter what. It's not that much of a problem for sport but for bouldering, I have having a squishy heel that just folds into the holds or don't keep it's shape on side heels etc.
@@richardsonsclimbing i would love to see a review of those. They kinda fly under the radar. I recently bought them. They are great and super comfy but so soft that edging can be challenging. I would love to know if thats just me and my bad technique or if they are maybe a little too soft. I have not seen a climbing shoe that soft. The dragos felt like a rock compared to them.
@@richardsonsclimbingalso the leapord II these things are super soft ! I love them for everything but just hard on small edges and wouldnt last outdoors. Good for training foot strength i think.

Your reviews are great. Thanks for the video.

Haha I’m more of a gym rat for sure. Outdoors doesn’t get me quite as psyched but I’m sure I’ll go outside with friends from time to time

I had to downsize another half size to fill the heel.
Have you tried the regulus yet or are planning to in the future?
Haven’t tried them yet! Hopefully, I think the Souped Up is the next on the list first
Have you ever tried the regulus ? If yes, how did it compare in stiffness compared to them and is there a huge difference in standing on small feet ?
I haven’t tried the regulus yet so I’m not sure!

Are these shoes wider in the toe box than the TN pro?
In my opinion they felt very similar!

arent the souped up the softest pair?
Yeah that’s a good point I hear the SU are even softer I haven’t tried them yet!

Yep definitely plan to try & review them soon!
@@richardsonsclimbing Great lookin forward to it'!

What size did you buy compared to scarpa and street? And is the heel snug? I have a small heel
More info on the sizing in the description! I also have a small heel and find the QB heel to fit me well
any chance you’ve climbed with five ten hi-angles (white ones)? Just wanted to see how they compare
Yep the Hiangle pros are still some of my favourite shoes to date! Imo the QBs aren’t super similar and the TN pros are much closer to the hiangles
@@richardsonsclimbing tnx for reply, I’ve never tried Hiangle PRO but the have been with the non-pro version for years and absolutely love it
Hey, what size do you use compared to street shoes for both TN and QuBits? I would like to try them, but no shop around has them in stock.
More info on my sizing is in the description!
