Need some help with sizing suggestions. I am looking to use the Miura for multi-pitch climbs as well as crack climbing. I have never done this type of climbing before so I am unfamiliar with how to size. My street shoe size is 8.5/9. I wear Solutions in size 39 (tight as I can go, perfect after break-in), Katana Lace in 39.5 (very snug but not torture). I tried on a pair of Miuras today size 40.5, my toes were a little curled and the shoes felt pretty snug, but I am unsure how much stretch to expect...can anyone help me out?

I love this shoe. especially for limestone, as my footwork has improved, I have realized i can confidently step on almost anything, with a nice toe for pockets, a great heel for hooks. feels sensitive but relatively stiff.
love the lacing system; super fast like velcro, but with that glove-like fit of slipper. the first time i put these shoes on, i thought, "what the hell was i wearing up to now?" these shoes are comfortable enough to do multi-pitch, to send hard sport routes, and edge on nothing. there seems to be a little stretch with the shoe, but nothing bad or unexpected.

a few dislikes, though, mainly revolving around this shoe's durability:
i "save" this shoe for onsights and projects because i've noticed the sole wears fairly quickly and it quickly lost its slight down-camber. stitching in the front of the shoe has also come undone, something i've noticed on a few of my climbing partners who have the same shoe (and also love it). la sportiva seems to make excellent shoes but seem to be less than durable, compared to the five ten and scarpas i've worn.
i still haven't gotten these resoled and these are my first pair (lord knows la sportiva has me hooked on these), but if i wore these every time i went climbing, i'd go through far more shoes than my thin wallet can handle. i wouldnt trash these in the gym unless you have lotsa money to blow.


high performance, mediocre durability

With nearly eight years of climbing, this is the one pair of shoes I have used the most. After 3 pairs of them and numerous resoles, as well as trying a number of different shoes, I'm always coming back to the Muira lace-ups. Has to be my favorite pair of climbing shoes for the outdoor or indoor use!

I been climbing friction mostly with alittle gym and trad since I was a Boy...Last year I started getting into Vertical/Sport Climbing...Started doing top-roping, in 5-4 range and by the end of Summer was doing Solid 5.7s with 1 5.9(had trouble with)...I only had 2 pair of shoes a pair of the old unlined Coyotes(blue), that had streched to much...and a pair of Boreal Equonox (with Fusion 3 Soles), I mosty used the Boreal's even though, the Rubber Sucked and were too narrow and just a tad to long...went with street size with Boreal's 10.5 and were to narrow and went with an 11 for the Five Ten Coyote's, for all day comfort, they streched 1-2 sizes, so were alittle lose at the tip!!!I started having problems climbing routes harder than 5.7 Vertical in those 2 shoes....so this year I Decided I need to chande Shoes/Rubber/Sizes! I Got the new Five-Ten (lined), 10.5 half size smaller, got my Boreal's Resoled with (5-10 Stealth Rubber) and bought a pair of Mythos in 43(.5-1 size smaller) I have wide feet(with a left pinkie toe that knots out, due to a break that wasn't set right...so I wet the Mythos leather in that spot and tighted them down and they stretch in spot, but have Small amount of toe space in tip(when wearing them around House...I want them to preform for All-Day/Multi-Pitch Comfort Shoes....Should, I down Size another 1/2 size??? Also, just got my pair of Muira Lace-Up in Size 43 (LOT tighter than Mythos)...but if they were alittle loseier they fit my foot shape Great..I got them(and Mythos) to step up my Vertical Climbing Potential!!! The Muira'L.U. are tight to the point of Pain/ Numbing also my toes bottom out, that then bend at toe kuckles and smash toe's together to a point of to much pain just laying in bed with them on after 20-30min...5-10 if I walk in them, Pain to point need to take off!!!

gosh, you might wanna send those shoes back and size up by 1/2, no need to have miuras painful, they work better when comfortable, but still snug of course.

these are my favorite climbing shoes ever, im currently climbing 5.12 and never ever have any problems standing on anything with these, accept for this one time my sloppy foot slipped off a frickin ledge lol.
comeparing to any other shoes i've try on before, these are by far the best to climb on, stick to basically anything and do easy on my feet, i could probally size them atleast another size smaller but at the time they didnt have my size, with that being said, i didn't need a super tight pair of these to get the sensitivities, and it sticking to any hold.

I got this gym after climbing every weekend at the local gym for a couple months. I love them so much. Ive owned three pairs of climbing shoes and these are by far my favorite. Ive taken them to the gunks, then rumney in NH, then this summer out to smith. I love them! I will be buying a new pair when the time comes.

I'm super pleased with these. I was planning on using them for face climbing, slabs, and anything else not overhung enough to need my La Sportiva Futura's, but I've ended up using these for everything except the hardest climbs I do. The toe feels really powerful, and the shoe is stiff enough it doesn't need to be super tight to perform well. They're more confortable than I expected, and the laces mean you can cinch them down or leave them loose. All in all these are awesome all-around shoes and after using them I understand why everyone raves about them.

If I could only own one shoe for the rest of my life, this would be it. They excel at edging.

does anyone know if La Sportiva is phasing these shoes out or replacing them? I can't seem to find a size 38 anywhere!!

Ricobiner,
La Sportiva has not announced a discontinuation of the Miura. Since this is one of Sportiva's best sellers I wouldn't expect a discontinuation anytime soon either. Additionally, at the time of this answer Backcountry.com has the Miura available in size 38.

They definitely shouldn't be. I see these shoes not only on my own feet but the feet of the majority of the climbers around my are and in my gym.

After almost a full year with my muiras I can honestly say that I don't believe there is a better climbing shoe in the world. The rubber is perfect. After 7 months of use I had to send them in for resole. I thought that was pretty impressive though considering the amount of time I spend climbing. . .( at least 4 days a week, 1/2 of the time at the gym). After resole they are like new again and I couldn't be more thrilled.

After I got the muiras I was so impressed I got the Muira VS and the Katanas. All three are great shoes but the muira is by far my favorite. I climb a ton of friction routes and slab routes and this is my go to shoe for those climbs as well as face climbs. And it's a great shoe for overhung routes too even though since acquiring the Muira VS I've switched to those for the most overhung routes. As for sizing I sized two full sizes down. The fit is really tight but they are comfortable and they feel like they were made for my feet. I would recommend sizing 2 and a half sizes down for most people though because I have very wide feet. Just deal with the pain for a month or so and you will have the best shoe you've ever slid your foot into.

Use these 2-3x a week for indoor climbing, a mix of bouldering and top roping. They're great for edging on tiny chips and smear reasonably well. A great overall shoe; as with any other go for smaller sizes for better control.

La Sportiva has nailed it with this shoe. Edging, smearing, heel-hooking, you name it, this shoe can do it. I have climbed in the same pair of Miuras for the past two years now, and they show less wear than my 6-month-old Shamans. The Miuras are second to none when it comes to edging, and the Miura lace-up system allows you to get a glove-like fit out of your shoe. They don't feature the P3 technology like the velcro counterpart, so they will flatten out a bit after use. Understand though that these shoes are not meant to be super aggressive.

I have used these shoes for steep sport climbing, slabby trad climbing, and bouldering, and I can honestly say that they are my favorite shoes. There's nothing I would change about this model (except for the price!)

Five stars, La Sportiva.

My shoe quiver is now made up of the Miura VS, the Miura XS, and the Katana. The Katana is my go to long trad route shoe if there are cracks, the Mira VS is my go to bouldering/sport climbing (steep route) shoe, and the Mira XS is my go to long route shoe if it is primarily face climbing. They are sensitive and comfortable (after a long break in). I've heard folks say they get sloppy, but feel that they're not sizing the shoe correctly. I sized down two whole sizes and they now have stretched and broken in and fit like a glove.

Fit is king, but if these fit you like they fit me, then you're going to be hard pressed to find a better shoe for sport climbing and hard, steep trad routes. This is probably my fifth pair and I still love them.

I'm looking at these and the Katana Lace...

I'm looking at these and the Katana Lace XS Edge. Right now I climb about 80% gym (V4-V5+ currently) and 20% bouldering. Any suggestions as to which is better for my needs? I have a hand-me-down pair of 39.5 Nagos and while they fit perfect and are good, I'm ready to step it up. I'd take any input on sizing too (tried on 40 VS and they almost hurt but figure they'd stretch to a 40.5) Thanks!

I would say the miuras are a little more aggresive than the katana lace and therefore are better for both bouldering and sport climbing. If you do bouldering I would recommend the miuras over the katanas.

I am a womens size 8.5. I bought my pair in a size 37.5. Pretty dang painful break-in period, but well worth it. The shoes fit perfect. No heel lift, they don't stink and I can edge on anything even after 8 month of regular climbing. Great indoor and outdoor and the lacing system is quicker than you would think.

I like my shoes pretty tight so maybe size up a half size if you don't like pain. My pair stretch a little over a half size.

I bought these as a gift for my brother. He says that the shoes have a very snug fit. While they are slippery on a smear, their strengths are in small nubs and heel hooking.

These shoes are amazing. I got them after I broke through my pair of Evolvs and were recommended to me BECAUSE THEY DON'T STINK!! I couldn't stand how every time I would take my Bandits off everywhere within a quarter mile suddenly smelled like nasty feet. These shoes are also just amazingly made in general, I consider myself a mid-level climber when it comes to skill and they surely get the job done. The edges on these are fantastic and are just aggressive enough to work as decent bouldering shoes as well. On the right feet these shoes can do great things. My bandits only lasted me two short months while at six months these shoes are still going strong (with no nasty odors!!!). Honestly I don't think I will buy anything but Miura's from now on they are well worth the money put into them.
