Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shoes I’ve only used these for about a month now, but they broke in quickly and have a very snug feel with a tension-y type fit from the toes and wrapping around the heel. I have a narrow foot and these are the first that the heel feels like it stays put. Also these feel very “sticky” on any big volumes or holds. Definitely a great shoe for indoor climbing (haven’t tried them outside yet).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tricky to size but very worth the hassle I read just about every review of these that exist online, of which there aren’t all that many compared to other shoes. I love these shoes. The fit throughout and especially the heel has been a game changer, and the xsGrip2 is a noticeable step up for indoor bouldering compared to the xsEdge. Compared to Miuras they are not as good at edging, but that’s to be expected and I’ve found them capable. A very welcome performance boost has been while on kilterboard because they are great at gripping everything, and also working out cave problems the toe and heel hooking has been great. SIZING: I believe that my feet are a little bit on the wider side, so my Miuras for example felt a bit tight in the toe box. That was also true for these (unsurprising since many say La Sportiva tend to run narrow), however I’d say they are not as narrow as the Miuras. I tried sizing down initially and I either couldn’t get my foot physically in the shoes, or they were terribly painful. I got a pair in my size and they were very tight (particularly the toe box), but I wore them around the house, over a heater, sat wearing them with Sox, and after about 2 climbing sessions they felt right, and the fight is absolutely wonderful. They are very snug in most places, and actually I do have a little bit of of space that develops after about an hour of climbing after my feet start sweating, which for me I actually am grateful for. They still fit exactly as I’d like, they’re just more of a comfort fit, so if you have feet a touch in the wide side and want a very tight fit, I’d say you could go a half (EU) size down. If you have regular or narrow feet you may be able to go down one or more (EU) sizes down. I like to wear my shoes for at least an hour without taking them off when bouldering in a gym, so that could influence your sizing decision as well. Also mentioned, I did exchange the shoes twice, and the process was super simple, just a quick online chat and everything was settled just fine, although I’d warn that if you use PayPal you will have to do either a traditional send and wait exchange, or do a new purchase to expedite the process, but the Moosejaw staff were very helpful in getting the prices to match with the discounts etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Shoe! Shoes are a great fit and runs even with my street shoe size. It is great for heel and toe hooks so look to see improvements in your game! I would recommend anyone to this shoe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shoes Soft sticky rubber. Greatly improved grip compared to my old shoes. The fit is a little weird in the heels. There is extra space from side to side even though it's a tight fit from heel to toe. When climbing, if I hook my heel on a grip, there is terrible feel because my heel always slides around inside the shoe. 4/5, got them on sale on blackfriday and don't regret it. Looking at the full price and knowing what I know now, I would pick something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love these shoes I wear a size 42.5 is Salomon’s, 41 in tc pro and testarossas. Bought these in a 41 and could barely stand in them when I first bought them. I put them by the fire and then put them on to break them in quicker and after a few tries they were perfect at the gym the first time wearing them. Can’t comment on how much they stretch as I’ve only worn them a few times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing These shoes are now my go to indoor shoes. They perform extremely well and are great. The smearing is excellent and the edging good. It has great sensitivity and feels great. Overall they are the best shoes I have ever bought.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shoes for indoor bouldering Bought these a month ago and have been loving them in the gym. I dont know if I would use them outside but they are perfect inside. I wear a 46.5 street shoe and I got a 44 of these. It's a tight fit but they stretch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great advanced climbing shoe I’ve been wearing la sportiva solutions and butora acros for many years and love them. Recently got the theory based on friend recommendations. Great fit and very comparable to the solutions and acros. Softer rubber so easier to break in and more sensitivity.

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.
