Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
3X Rewards means you earn MJ$ at triple the normal rate: 30% back on regular-priced items (instead of the regular 10%) and 7.5% back on discounted items (instead of the regular 2.5%).
Promotional Moosejaw Reward Dollars cannot be earned on Gift Cards, Bikes, Cargo Boxes, Kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards.
Additional exclusions may apply.

Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first.

Sticky and Stiff ;DPurchased 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.

Comfiest climbing shoe I’ve ever hadThese 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.

Great for first non-beginner shoeI 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.

Katana Excellent ChoiceThis 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!

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.

A couple climbs in and already notice a differenceI have taken these bad boys to the bouldering gym twice now. I already feel WAY more confident using my feet. Even though tight still as I am breaking them in, they are comfortable. Very happy with my purchase.

Comfy, Strong Toe BoxComing from Miura Lace, this is a step up in comfort and the P3 platform feels very solid for great edging/toe strength. Only used indoors so far, but I imagine this will translate well on real rock

Great for edgingMore comfortable than the previous version. I do wonder whether I should have sized down, but overall performance is still really good and it's nice not to have as much pain in the big toe area.
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 PERFORMANCE FIT - Offers a high performance fit and a downturned last.
TECH FIT - A more technical fit and a last with neutral profile.
COMFORT FIT - A comfortable fit and a last with more volume and a neutral profile.
