Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great all-rounder shoe I've been wearing this and the previous version of Katana Laces for ~8 years and they're good for everything, except heel hooks. A few random thoughts: * Size down .5 to 1 size from old katana laces * These shoes will bleed black dye if you wash them, just fyi * Not great if you love toe hooks

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for small edges outside Very impressed with these thus far. My feet feel stable and like they will stick to anything outside. Very comfortable on small edges. The best edging shoe I've tried to date for outdoor climbing. They also preformed well on slab and felt quite sticky. I don't like these so much for indoors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shoes These shoes perform well in many different styles. I found the standout to be edging. Their precision helps make them feel rock solid and they're super comfortable for how aggressive they are.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sticky and Stiff ;D Purchased about a month back and have been climbing pretty heavily in them. Done a few four hour indoor sessions now without taking them off after they've started to break in. These things edge like no body's business. I'm a fan of the laces over velcro as I can pull the top tighter around my ankle. I've gone outdoors with these once since purchasing and they shred just as well on real rock as they do plastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfiest climbing shoe I’ve ever had These shoes are so comfortable and painless, I thought I got the wrong size. I ordered the same size I wear for my la sportiva solution comp and it fits like a tight comfortable glove.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for first non-beginner shoe I started climbing about three months ago and started off with Scarpa Helix, which I like a lot, but I quickly advanced in my technique and climbing level so I grabbed a pair of used, like-new, Miras. The Miras killed my feet and did not fit my foot well (think my foot is too narrow and it made the heel fit weird when I tightened the shoe). I returned the Miras even though I got them for 50% off and picked up a brand new pair of Katana Laces. The Miras and Helix were both 42.5 and I went down to a 41.5 in the Katanas and they feel amazing. They hurt a little the first few sessions but broke in very nicely. I can wear these for a 3-4 hour session without taking them off or loosening them. Though I haven't been climbing long (now a v3-5, 5.10-11 indoor), I find that these offer a lot of control with edging without being too aggressive. I think they are a great, versatile, all-around shoe. I wear them indoors and outdoor bouldering and also sport climbing and find that they always perform well. For me, it is all about the comfort and the fit - they fit my feet great, but maybe they won't fit yours. I have a size 10-10.5 street shoe size and an average width foot and went down to 41.5 EU for these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Katana Excellent Choice This is my 5th purchase of this beautifully crafted shoe by La Sportiva. My other four pair have been resoled at least twice per pair! Just wore them out and had to purchase this newer laced version. Continue to love them and you will too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy this shoe! Wow, this is a very impressive shoe. Quality and workmanship is top notch. Great look, comfort, and footing feels confident and solid. I took the advice of others and sized down one size and it was the right choice. I will be buying these shoes again and again.

Super excited about these! Do you know when you’ll be getting more sizes?

Asked by: Shane
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, I do not have access to when more sizes will be added. Since this is a Spring 2022 shoe, I would not expect for sizes to be added until the next Spring season. My best suggestion is to keep checking back. Please don't hate us :(

NOTES and FIT INFO
La Sportiva footwear is built and offered on European half sizes, which are smaller increments than US half sizes. This gives them four extra sizes per size run, and ultimately gives you a better fit.

As a general rule soft shoes like climbing shoes require a tighter fit, or about two to three sizes smaller than your street shoe size.

La Sportiva recommends you fit your trad climbing shoes one to two sizes under your street shoe size.

La Sportiva offers a lot of lasts, and each offers a different fit and feel. Remember to factor in potential stretching.

Unlined slip-lasted shoes tend to stretch a bit more than lined shoes, or about one full size.

Lined shoes stretch about a half size.


LA SPORTIVA CLIMBING SHOE FIT SYSTEMS
