Perfect fit for serious climbers!

These shoes have been a game-changer in my climbing! The fit is snug and the rubber is sticky, allowing for precise footwork on even the smallest of holds. The design is sleek and stylish too. The only downside is that they are quite expensive. Overall, these shoes are worth investing in for anyone serious about sports and outdoors climbing.

Pros
  • Excellent grip and traction for climbing
Cons
  • Not suitable for beginners due to its advanced design and technical features

La Sportiva comes in a variety of sizes

I ordered this shoe in a size 45 (1.5 sizes down from street size 47) like all my other Sportiva climbing shoes. I couldn't even tie the heel in it when the laces were fully undone. I've had Finals, Squams and now Muirs all a size 45.5 which fit perfectly once worn. Real shame as I was excited to try these and have aggressive shoes with laces instead of straps.

Pros
  • 100% Synthetic
Cons
  • Appearance

Great shoes. until the material wears out quickly.

This was (keyword "was") the best shoe I've ever owned. I do a combination of rope and bouldering (all indoors) about 5 hours a week. When my toes started slipping off last week I noticed that after only 3 months the toes are wearing out and I can see the yellowing just under the big toes where the outer rubber is wearing out. I couldn't believe it. I'm not a crazy aggressive climber and in 8 years of climbing I've never had a pair of shoes wear out (yes there are other issues but I've never…

Pros
  • Vibram Sole
