La Sportiva N.A.: Miura Climbing Shoe

The sun will always rise in the east and the Miura will always be there to catch the first rays. Or at least as long as La Sportiva keeps making one of the best climbing shoes in the business. The La Sportiva Miura is the ultimate fusion of edging precision and comfort, but if you liked this big wall shoe for everything that it did before, you're going to love the new sensitivity. La Sportiva narrowed the Laspoflex midsole in the forefoot from 1.8 mm. all the way down to 1.1 mm. for almost double the tactile feedback. Feeling is believing, but you'll love the additional confidence. Just like earlier incarnations, this Miura features a quality 4-mm. XSV Vibram® sole that delivers superb friction without accelerated wear, which in turn can save your upper body muscles a little energy. One thing to remember about La Sportiva is that the lasts run a little narrower than other climbing brands, so keep this in mind when you're choosing your shoe.
