These shoes are straight BAWLIN' yo! Beaked toe, leather, form-fitting, ridiculous pimpin' design like you've never SEEN! I put these on my feet and I was like "WHHHATTTT?!…

the shoes look well built, and seem quite nice, but between not being able to replace the laces, and the foot box being way too wide, I'm going to stick with the original cros…

looks kinda dorky, but a great pair of shoes. slip on comfort means your laces never come undone. and is made to the high la sportiva standard as usual. nice tread too. i…

Street size: 9.5, which is roughly 42.5 for Sportiva. I managed to squeeze into a 40 b/c that's all that was available when I ordered but lemme tell you, the shoe feels natur…

The only weakness of the solution is the strap, once that breaks they're hard to fix. I'm a HUGE sportiva fan and these don't disappoint. You can size them for comfy sport cli…

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…

Just got back from 3 weeks in the Tetons and Wind River Range. These shoes did everything. They were just as comfortable as my hiking boots for long (8 miles, ~4000' vertica…

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…

This is a good looking, comfortable shoe. It handled pretty well for trail running and day hiking. However, eventually due to rubbing and abrasions when on the trail, the me…

Very happy with this shoe, although had to return it for a larger size. It's cut a bit narrow, but has a good size toe box that is great. I'm a 10.5 and had to go to a 44.5 in…

Probably the most comfortable climbing shoes I've ever worn + everything you would want from climbing shoes. I have a wider foot, and I thought it would be hard to find shoes…

I bought these back when I started climbing and have loved them ever since. In fact, I love them so much that I just bought a 3rd pair. I have tried many other shoes but none…

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…

I use my cobra's for everything from bouldering to overhanging sport. It excels on overhangs due to the downturn but its still comfortable enough to wear for single pitch spo…

2 words DOWN SIZE if you want this shoe to work to its fullest make sure you get the smallest size you could possibly get your foot into they stretch a lot. they are probably…

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…

They edge ok but not great, they have not worn very well, they are only slightly uncomfortable, they are reasonably sticky. Overall they are just ok. I have since upgraded to…

I'm a fan of the 5.10 Anasazi great edging power; the gym clearing smell of the shoes, I'm not so psyched on. The Katanas are a lot like the Anasazis: flat last, sensitive ye…

I bought these shoes for approach and mild climbing in the mountains as they are designed for such. As an approach shoe they are stiff but have no ankle support which could be…

I used these to climb the Grand Teton and I love the high tops for ankle support. The soles are durable but the down side is that they are not as sticky as I hoped. I really…

Got these for canyoneering because I wanted something that was like a lightweight hiker for the approaches and sticky for the scrambling sections. These shoes rock, if you'll…
