Description

The technical women’s shoe that tackles sporty overhangs and boulders.

Stick to the most crimp-tastic routes when you put on the La Sportiva Women’s Miura Climbing Shoe and edge wart-sized footholds. The Miura’s high curvature and downturned toe give you more friction on the smallest holds or smears with the sticky help of Vibram XS Grip2 rubber. Shaped forefoot edges let you rest on tiny ledges between overhanging pitches, while the LaspoFlex forefoot midsole provides comfort during belays and longer routes. A synthetic Dentex lining prevents the leather upper from stretching, drastically reducing the necessary break-in time.

These are the best shoes i have so far! I order them 1.5 smaller then my normal shoes size, but they fit like a glove, take me about 2 weeks to break them in (average 4 days a week). Been use them indoor boulding, and out door sport climbing, Have them for about 3 months now, it just feel better and better everytime I put them on!

I bought these for my girl on Valentines Day. She has worn them several times sport climbing and bouldering and loves them. Her last pair was the Mythos which she said were more comfortable but that she liked these better and thought they were performing better. She has the typical complaint that the heel cup is bothering her but it is breaking in and getting better.

I've owned a pair of Mythos for a little over a year now and I loved them for slab/sport but as soon as I started getting more into bouldering, I realized I needed a new pair of shoes. The Miuras are great for both!! The toe is just aggressive enough for overhangs but great for slab too. The break in period wasn't that bad either. I agree with some comments that the Achilles will hurt for a bit but it's not that bad. I wear a 7.5 in street shoe and a 35.5 in both my Mythos and my Miuras and they fit super snug. I highly recommend this shoe!

I'm a guy and wear mens Miura lace in size 39. After 2 month break in the shoes fit almost perfectly, and I love the shoes. I am interested in trying the women's version for the grip rubber and a padded/smaller heel, which is a huge problem with me and almost all climbing shoes as I have a small heel. What size should I get in the women's?

My quest for the perfect climbing shoe made a pit-stop with these babies - aggressive enough to stand up to my bouldering needs while still able to (sort of) deal with the occasional all-day-slabtastic-top-rope adventure.

Took a few weeks of 2 days/wk at the gym for them to break in; great for overhanging routes that require solid toe placement. I wear a mondo 21.5/US5 and took a 35 in these shoes (versus a 34.5 in the Mythos). I tried on a pair that felt "good" and bought a half size smaller. They stretched a bit when breaking in, but not quite an entire half size. Not necessarily comfortable to spend a lot of time in, but they're fairly easy to pull off and put back on.

All in all, they're a great bouldering/gym shoe. Beware sizing too small, as they never quite broke in enough - I think I fall somewhere between a 35 and 35.5. Maybe someday they'll make a 35.25.

Close to perfect

these take a while to break in - and really hurt my achilles and last 2 toes for a while (I have a wide forefoot) .
Once broken in, I've really liked them for overhanging routes and bouldering (the mythos just don't quite do it on an overhang, though they are great all-arounders for everything else)

street shoe 7.5-8 USwomen. the 36.5 is working well for me. Still nice & snug after 8 months, but no longer painful. I wouldn't go smaller.

I just bought a pair of the miuras and I was wondering how much did they hurt on the achilles for you? Other than the achilles I'm loving the shoes after 1 day but I'm really iffy on if they'll break in enough on that part.

The achilles is killer- the worst part of the break in. It softens up though. hang in there.

Hi - I am interested in buying the La Sportiva Miura lace version and would like some advice on the sizing. I wear street shoes 7.5-8 and running/hiking shoes 8.5. Any advice on which size to order?

I would buy the 7.5's wich is a 38 in european, climbing shoes almost always stretch so going smaller is typically better.

This is a great all around shoe. Its comfortable while still being a great performer. The shape and stiffness of the shoe allow good friction on slabs and smears while still providing the sharp edge and power for standing on micro toe holds. The ability to stand on tiny little holds is probably my favorite aspect of this shoe. I agree with other reviewers, the only thing this shoe does not excel at is cracks... but they always hurt my feet so....

I wear a size 38 Men's Evolv Talon G2s (they don't stretch) and a size 37.5 Women's Anasazi LVs. I normally wear the Talons because of the snug fit. I also wear a 36.5 Women's La Sportiva Raptor (trail running). Would anybody have suggestins of which size I should get in the Muiras?

Hey! These are a less aggressive version of the VS, I recommend trying them on at a local retailer.
But, I would suggest getting a size 36 or a 35.5 for a snug fit so you don't get a floppy heel. These aren't as down turned as VS.
I wear a 42.5 in street shoes and I wear a 38/38.5 in the mens Miura.

The women's muira's are the best shoe for slab and face climbs. The rubber is super sticky, the heel is super grippy on heel-hooks, and the arch is nice and high. The padding in the heel makes a huge difference in the fit of the shoe. I have several guy friends that wear the women's shoe because the fit is so good. The aggressive downturn of the shoe also is really nice and the big toe box means you can size down quite a bit. I wear a 8 1/5 street size and I think my 37 Muira's are comfy and maybe a half size too big.

That said, these are not my fav shoes for crack climbing especially in places where the sharp rock eats up the rubber.

Happy climbing!

I bought these shoes back in March--my first pair of climbing shoes, after climbing in gym shoes for 3 months. I can't say enough good things about them. I bought them 1.5 sizes down from my street shoe size, so the initial break in period was a bit rough (read taped up toes for a while...) but once I got them broken in, they were amazing. They did stretch a little--I bought them to fit my smaller foot, and now, they are perfect (although I still recommend bringing a pair of other shoes for the belay/approach to keep your feet happy if you buy them small.) The construction allows them to mold to your feet, making for a shoe that I don't usually tie, unless I know I'm going to be using a heel hook. In the gym or outside, I can stand on stuff that my friends with their trad/not so aggressive shoes can't touch, and be comfortable there.
I can't recommend these enough. They're absolutely worth the money.

I started with a pair of 5.10s, and I think I over estimated the potential stretch because they hurt my feet to the point of taking them off every time I was not climbing...So I upgraded and purchased the Miura and couldn't be happier. They are an aggressive yet really comfortable shoe. I wear a size ten shoe and bought a 42.5.

I have tried on a friend's men's version in a size 36 1/2, which fit pretty snug, but they were comfortable. The weird thing is I wear a US women's size 6 in street shoes and 6.5 in sneakers and hiking shoes. I've read many reviews that one should size down as much as two sizes. I can't imagine my foot fitting in a size 34. I am also a bit confused on the sizing. Is this Italian sizing? Because I thought a 36 is equivalent to a 6, and according to the La Sportiva size chart a 36 is actually a 5.5. I am pretty confused :). Any suggestions on the sizing for me?

order the size you know fits, return them if you dont like them and try another pair. backcountry will take them back.

After a frustrating journey with different shoes, I think I have finally found the ones for me with the Miuras! I wear an 8.5 in regular street shoes and I got these in a 37, so I sized down 2.5 sizes. So basically, my feet are in agony right now as a break in these shoes! But I know that it is going to be totally worth it once I break these in because even through my agony, I can already tell that I am trusting these shoes the way I need to in order to climb as hard as I want to.

Also, I have EXTREMELY narrow feet. This is the main reason I decided to go with the Miuras, because before this I tried the Katanas and they were NOT a good fit for someone with narrow feet. Having a shoe with laces instead of velcro is ideal so that I can get these shoes as tight as I want to with out any weird bunching or gaps from having velcro straps.

So, even though breaking these in is painful, I am so happy because I finally have a shoe I can trust to climb as aggressive as I want!

A little update: I have already broken these in enough in these couple weeks that I am not in bad pain on shorter bouldering climbs, which is great. I have noticed that there is a little gap on each side of my ankle towards the top of my foot that is still there no matter how tight I tie the laces just due to the shape of the shoe. Probably wouldn't even be there on people that don't have crazy narrow feet like me. It hasn't effected me while I climb at all though so I am still extremely happy with these shoes!

How is the sizing of this shoe vs. the Mythos? I have a 38.5 in Mythos that has stretched out and is now a bit too big, so I probably should have size down to a 38 or 37.5. So how do these fit vs. Mythos? Thanks!

I procrastinated a long time before buying new shoes. I wish I hadn't. These shoes are awesome. I trust my feet on stuff that I never would have before. They haven't stretched much at all (I've had them for a few months). They are just the right amount of stiffness and they are pretty comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to wear them for long climbs. I left them at home for a recent multi pitch climb and I really wish I hadn't. Definitely worth the money.
