From the domestic birthplace of Voltaring Jim 'PUMP', a lot of talent has grown and players who become regulars of the World Cup are also produced. I taught the staff of "B-PUMP Ogikubo store" which is the affiliated store of "PUMP" about the climbing shoes which are very important by voltaling.

Bouldering is a kind of rock climbing, it features a light casual clothing without a lifeline letting you go up the wall and feel free to join. Japanese players have won the world championships and become official games of the Tokyo Olympic Games and the number of facilities that can enjoy bouldering indoors is increasing.

I asked Mr. A about the climbing shoes at the staff of “B-PUMP Ogikubo store”, which was the domestic qualifying venue for ADIDAS ROCKSTARS, the world tournament for voltaring held in Germany in September.

- There are plenty of climbing shoes.

I agree. Things made in Europe and the United States will be major, but we recommend BUTORA (Butler), a rugged, well-to-do shoes of the Korean brand. This is for Japanese people and is very easy to wear.

Bhutra's operating company originally did the OEM of the climbing shoes (manufacturing the products of other brands), accumulated considerable know-how there and created its own brand by wanting to make their own shoes .

- Could you tell me about climbing shoes?

This Breta 's "Neat" is a shoe for beginners, it can be worn with the same feeling as a sneaker usually worn with the sole of the foot flat.

There are various wall shapes when doing climbing, there are also many types of hold (rock ledge) to step on. It is a type that can be used for almighty in many such situations.

- How about shoes of intermediate level and above?

At that level, there is "nruusha" in Breta.It seems like Breta and other manufacturers, but the toe part is going down and it is getting inside a little.

- In order to make it easier for your feet to catch on rocks.

That's right. I have done climbing, do not you think?

--Yes. I did not know anything with futsal shoes and I realized that the inside of the ankle is important.

I think that it is hard to get caught in the force when it is futsal shoes (laugh).

-That was really true, and from next time I will do it with climbing shoes (laughs).

There are plenty of shoes dedicated to climbing, and there are wall shapes that are good at each. When becoming an intermediate advanced level, we will choose to shoes or to shoulder according to what kind of course I want to climb.

- Do you have any other recommended shoes?

The recommendation is the American FIVE TEN “High Angle”. Basically, the width of the foot is fine and the sole is very sticky, making it a type of shoe that resists friction. Many of those who climb the course of strict shape are using it habitually.

- There are various chalks on hands too. 

: We will use chalk so that the hand will not slip when climbing the rock. Choke balls are the most common. A baseball pitcher is often used, and choking strikes hands by tapping or massaging with bags.

Besides, for refilling, large lumps, liquid type When dry with a hand cream type, it becomes like a state of chalk of powder and it exerts the effect of slip prevention.

- Put chalk in this small container.

Yes, that will happen. This can be chocked when it is small and climbing. It is suitable for climbing with a lifeline that is hard to get in the way

Voltaring is basically a sport that you can enjoy with shoes and chalk, and it's a very important gear, even though it's the minimum necessary to wear it.

- What kind of shoes do you have?

The adidas approach shoe “Solo” is mainly used for walking to walk around the rocks when climbing. The sole is strong and resistant to friction, making it effective when walking on hard rocks.

- Voltarling population is increasing.

Yes, I feel momentum. Although the ratio of men is high, women also increased considerably, and the population of their children is on the rise. I heard the story that it seems interesting to see it in a magazine, because I am interested in being invited by my friend and started it.

- There are a lot of children like climbing trees and it is on that extension line.

:indeed. Recently, there were many events that made it possible to climb by making simple low courses with shopping malls and so on, so we enjoyed there, so we tried joining the gym to investigate near the house There are a lot of families.
