This shoe would be 5/5 just like the mens VS and for GOOD REASON, if it wasn't for some whiners who couldn't handle a barely noticeable print on a small strip of leather aroun…

All around great shoe. Great for edging and standing on tiny crystals or pebbles that it makes you wonder sometimes how is it possible you haven't fallen off yet. Rubber is pl…

Really comfy, really flexible, good beginner shoe. Stretches like a mofo so get em super tight.…

It's not my favourite pair of climbing shoes. I wear them when my other pair get too stinky. My feet are fairly wide towards my toes so the fit isn't the best in these. Instep…

The Miura could be called the perfect shoe. I bought mine specifically for a comfy all day trad shoe, but since have started using them on my boulder projects and shorter spor…

My go to shoe for anything on a flat or slab wall. stands up to a beating as well considering that I have used them 4 times a week for 3-6 hours a session for the last 4 month…

I moved from the Evolv Elektra, my first shoe, to these about a year ago. Definitely a wise choice for someone who is getting serious about their climbing. While they were muc…

I admit, I was lost and searching for solace when I came across these shoes. I'd been looking for a kick a** climbing shoe capable of shredding face climbs with the best of th…

The feel in these shoes are amazing. I had a pair of Muira VSs for 2 seasons and loved them and wanted something a little more sensitive. These fit the bill! Still love my Mui…

If you have a wide foot like I do then I would suggest trying these on before buying. They are lace-ups so that helps but my feet were still just bulging out. I'm going to s…

The LaSportiva Katana has performed admirably in our local climbing gym and I am looking forward to summer craggin in them. This is the first pair of rock shoes that fit right…

La Sportiva Katanas are an awesome pair of climbing shoes and would recommend them to anyone! With the unique tongue of the shoe, they fit like no other. Great for edging (but…

I used the shoes for the first time yesterday at Paradise on the Brazos. The climbs have smooth Limestone. I love the way this shoe is super flexible to wrap itself around a f…

a jock strap for your foot, no more up flex. Able to hook the crappiest hold. ;) Great Design:) Keep up that design la sportiva.…

Being an avid climber based in the Nashville area I expect my shoes to perform well and be able to trust them no matter where I place them in a climb. The no edge concept is…

I have been really happy with the performance of these shoes. I sized down 2 sizes from my street size and they hurt incredibly bad for the first 2 days but they broke in qui…

I haven't gotten outside to use this shoe yet because of all the crap snow the area has been getting (SD). However, I've been doing some indoor climbing and so far the shoe is…

I bought these shoes when i first got into climbing. they are rugged as heck and very comfortable for all day climbing. great for beginning outdoor climbing. Took some time to…

This is my third pair of climbing shoes (I've had Mad Rock Mugens and 5.10 Anasazi Verde's) and they are by far the most comfortable I have owned. The shoes mold to your feet…

Shoes are all about personal preference, and I absolutely love these shoes. They are super comfortable, even in a half size smaller than other sportiva models. I can wear th…

I am climbing on my second pair of Bandits. This is my middle of the road shoe. It can perform well on friction,crack, and edging. I would say that out of these its strong…

Just got these shoes and tried them out for the first time. The description says it all "A powerful and technical, high-performance shoe that craves footwork challenges" I'd h…

My feet are sculpted...Nice forefoot, high arches, narrow heel. They look good in a pedicure chair (yeah right), fitting climbing shoes not so easy. Tried many brands, none re…

These shoes are built for climbing cracks and off-widths. I figure they are basically a cheaper TC Pro, but they tear extremely easy along the rand. After just a few climbs…

Got these shoes at the beginning of the rock season this year in the North East (mostly climb at the Gunks and Adirondacks, with a trip to the Rockies to climb this year too),…

I love these shoes for indoor rock-walls, but prefer a different pair for outdoor bouldering and climbing. The soles on these seem more friable and don't grip the granite (or…

These are my first pair of climbing shoes, and I absolutely love them. I've climbed with them mostly inside, but have taken them on a trip to Joshua Tree where the rock is ro…

These are my favorite shoes for a long hard techy face climbing. They climb well in roofs, but if its edgy and I'm standing on tiny crimpers, I wear these. Not only are they…
- Daniel, 04/29/13

Loving these! Climb great out of the box, super comfortable fit. Tongue is slightly cushioned, heal is not too agressive. I like them for the great edge, the aggressive toe…

I've been wearing these ferraris of footwear for the past several years. Occasionally I stray from these shoes but always find myself coming back. The sizing is a bit odd, I…

very snug and precise. best shoes i've used as far as edging goes. standing on dime edges feels like standing in aid slings. the rubber is a little too hard for slick limes…

I liked this shoe when I first got it, but as time went on I just found that it wasn't that awesome. Maybe it just didn't fit my foot that well, but I didn't trust toe-ing do…

After trying on some other 5.10s and a pair of Scarpa's I didn't think I would find an aggressive shoe that didn't leave tons of dead space in the heel, but the low volume hee…

Decent aggressive shape, lace-up are handy for those of us with narrow feet. Great heel rand and pretty good for edging.…

The Scarpa vapors are great aggressive climbing shoes. The heels fit tightly and are great for heel hooking. My feet are fairly narrow so I love that these lace up for a tight…
