About this item:

Ideal for climbers who are just starting out in the sport, these climbing shoes provide all-day comfort and versatility with the convenience and adjustability of a hook & loop closure. The breathable and durable all-leather upper features a stretch insert that conforms to your foot shape for a precise fit. Unlined for a great fit and feel.

An updated heel cup ensures a secure and comfortable fit, while the highly adjustable 2-strap hook & loop closure system adapts to various foot shapes and sizes. Two heel pull-tabs and one tongue tab make for easy on and off. The aggressive rubber heel rand and sticky FriXion RS rubber offer great grip and durability, providing a powerful edging platform climb after climb. A ultra-thin LaSpoFlex midsole provides maximum torsional rigidity.

Designed with a rounded forefoot and higher volume to comfortably fit more climbers, these rock climbing shoes are meant to fit differently than other footwear. Check the La Sportiva size chart in the product images for the most accurate sizing - the fit should be tight, but not painful, and without pressure points.
