Hands down best fitting/performing shoe for me. Badass shoe.

This shoe is a great all around climber. It really excels in cracks and technical climbing. The volume of the shoe is also very good...i have a long skinnier foot and the top of the shoe doesn't bag up much at all. Size down 2.5-3 sizes from US sizing to Euro sizing, in this shoe specifically. (ie. i wear 13 US, 47 Euro and wear a 43.) The speed lacing is also a huge plus!

Upgraded to these after my Evolv Defy's were completely thrashed. Immediately provided a huge boost to my climbing. Great, close fit (thanks in part to smart lace-up system) plus nice stiff toe means I can power up tiny footholds that my Defy's would pop right off of. Rubber is nice and sticky, shape of the shoe lends itself to far more technical footwork than before.The price is a bit steep but 100% worth it. We'll see about durability, but so far I'm very pleased with them.

Update: I've been climbing indoors in these hard all winter for about two and a half months now. They still perform great, but definitely due in for a resole. Considering that a.) I'm a fairly new climber with poor footwork and b.) I've been climbing in them 3-4 days a week on an indoor wall, I'm very impressed with the durability!

These shoes are amazing. Great fit, great edging and amazing smearing yet still comfortable to stand around in.

great all around shoe. rubber is super sticky. great smearing and on small foot holds. my normal shoe size is 10.5. and i went with a 43 Miura and is plenty tight.

I've been climbing in these for about two months now. They don't stretch that much at all. I am usually between a 9.5 and 9 US size for shoes and I went with the 41.5 for these. They fit pretty well. My toes hurt a little after a long day. They aren't as comfortable for all day use as the Mythos, and are wider in the toe than the Mythos (which I found pretty narrow). But this really has not been a problem. They smear and edge really well. I would say better than the Mythos. I have not had any trouble sticking on to tiny ledges and smearing on slabs. All in all these are a great pair of shoes. Speed Lacing is great! I have heard that the down-turned toe goes away after use. Its still to soon to say for sure but I think it does become less pronounced.

I agree with the reviewer above, the down-turned toe goes away with use. Nonetheless, still a great all around shoe for steep and slabby routes. I'm on my 5th resole, so durability is second to none.

This is my second pair of the LaSportiva Miura Climbing shoes, and I can honestly say that this is THE climbing shoe, hands down, 110% rocommended.

These thing edge like mad, smearing is over the top as well. But it streaches a lot. on a 510c to 5.11a ish the shoes feel solid like Iam glued to the rock. I got mine 1.5 sizes smaller than my street, now the toe box has goten too big. it still performes well but sloppy shoes are not as good as tighter ones do. maby the mura VS will suit me better, the velcro might allow me to snug them up more if it streaches...??? just a thought

These are my go to sport climbing and techy trad shoe. They smear and edge well and are also great for those desperate toe jams on thin granite cracks.

I've read in reviews and stuff that you need to size down Miuras 1.5 - 2 Euro sizes. What I can tell you from personal and very painful experience is that THESE WILL STRETCH WITH TIME. Forget the minimal-stretch-because-this-shoe-is-lined BS, these will go up by up to a full size. So if you buy them 2 sizes smaller and they feel yey very comfy with no pain whatsoever at the toe knuckles, that's an alarm sign. These shoes are aggressive and comfy at the same time, but it's meant to be like this ONLY AFTER THEY'RE BROKEN IN, i.e. that leather on top of the crunched up toes stretches and molds to your knuckles. Otherwise, you'll just end up with one too big shoe and all that scalpel-like precision will be lost, feet swinging of dime-edges this shoe was meant to make short work of. Buy these small guys, i mean 3 Euro sizes smaller AT THE VERY LEAST. Sportivas stretch and you'll be disappointed. I've gotten my first pair at 41 Euro, i wear 42.5. Now they fit like swimming-pools. My second pair was 39 and they're not even broken in fully right now and most of the pain in the toes is gone. Aggressive shoes aren't meant to be comfy. What La Sportiva does is black magic that makes their shoes comfy through some alien VooDoo or something even when extremely small and aggressive, but don't spend all that cash just because it says they won't stretch and they feel good in the store. Get 'em tight, stop wasting time on the Internetz and go climb!

These shoes are amazing. Got them half a size smaller than the Evolvs I was wearing and they stretched out a smidge. They fit my foot like a glove after wearing them for a couple months. Very comfortable and powerful. They lose their arch after wearing them for a while, but really, they kick ass.

These shoes are great for steep edgey sport climbs. I did run into something I didn't like with them though, the camber of this shoe is diminished with use. The new ones fix that problem.

This is a pretty amazing shoe. Its one of the most versatile shoes I've worn and does well in many types of climbing and on different rock. I've used it on granite in City of Rocks and basalt at Smith, overhung climbs, face climbing, and multi-pitch trad routes. The laces are probably the best for a lace up shoe, although still take more time than velcro or slipper, obviously. The comfort/performance ratio is the best I've experienced. Durability has also been pretty good. If you're going to only own one shoe - this should be it. Sizes run a bit big. I have a size 14 street shoe, wear a 46 in these and a 47 in Evolv's.

These shoes feel really nice and comfy. I definitely like the new rubber. These shoes fit a lot like the mythos I found. The same size in a mythos fit me. I like the fact that I can curl down my toe in these to get aggressive if need be for a good edge. The rubber on these is very nice and sticky.

The heel fit is perfect. The heel would never fall out of these shoes, no matter what you heelhook. Turn the foot outwards and you can heelhook the tiniest crimps!

Main climbing shoe for years now..go through several pair per year, climbing full time. Both hard desert climbing as well as Bugaboo alpine granite.

I wear a 42 in katana's and a 42.5 in testarossas and I got these in a 42 and there was no way I'd ever be able to climb in these in that size. They seem to run real small I'd get a bigger size than what your used to.

These are really great shoes. For the short time I was able to wear them, I loved them. Unfortunately, the padding in the tongue contains natural rubber latex. I know b/c I'm allergic to the stuff and after a warm day, my feet produced a rash in the exact shape of the tongue padding. Hopefully La Sportiva will figure this out someday soon because they really do make great shoes!

I just picked these up this morning at my local gym. This is my second pair of shoes. After 5 months of climbing in 5.10 Coyotes they were sloppy and stretched out I knew I wanted something more aggressive. I have skinny feet with small heel so I knew I would have trouble finding something that fit well. I tried the Anasazi and there was a lot of dead space in the heel and my toes were smashed to the point where even climbing was uncomfortable let alone standind. I also tried the Evolv Kaos II. A little less dead space in the heel but even more cramped in the toe box. With the velcro shoes i just could not get the shoe snug enough where there was no velcro. Then I tried the Muira and it fit like a glove. No dead space in the heel and the toe box is much more tolerable than the other two I tried. To give you an idea of the sizing I tried:

5.10 Coyote (9)
5.10 Anasazi Velcro (8) The 8.5 i could wiggle my big toe
Evolv Kaos II (8.5)
La Sportiva Muira (7.5 US - 40 EU)

The Muira edges and smears very well for me. I have yet to try some overhang boulder problems but as far as edgeing and smearing these are great! The support in the front of the shoe is awesome and gives more confidence when tip-toeing on edges.

i climb indoor and all i can say is these shoes are amazing i have yet to pop off a foot hold even the smallest they got is more then enough the edging on these there edging is second to none IMO they fit my feet better then a glove the smearing isn't bad but im not to good at that i don't like to use smears more then technique i cant get enough of these my scarpa boosters have been in my bag and have yet to come out for ANYTHING since i got them take these for overhangs over the boosters and the boosters were made for that...

I'm still breaking them in but so far I'm pretty happy. They are a good all around shoe and have good precision. Get them small. I wear 10.5 US street size and I ended up with a 41.5, even if it feels painful at first they stretch within an hour or two of gym climbing you would be surprised.

I might get another pair eventually to have when the one I have is getting resoled so I can alternate. I like to stick to the same shoe and get used to climbing in that one rather than having specialized shoes for different situations. If you're looking for a good all around performance shoe this is it.

One suggestion if you're not sure what size to get, go to your local climbing store or gym if they sell shoes and try Mythos, they size about the same even though in the end they'll feel different. I tried the Mythos several times and never liked it.

La Sportiva has to let me know if they ever discontinue this shoe so I can order enough pairs to last me the rest of my climbing days. These are amazing rock shoes. Perfect balance of sensitivity, support. Great edging. I have narrow feet and I am always struggling to find shoes that fit, these literally fit like a glove, no dead space at all. If you have wide, high volume feet I wouldn't go with these. Can't comment on the rubber since I just got them but just based on the feel I'm pretty sure it will last longer than the Evolvs that wore through the toe in under five months. Great great shoe!!

Right out of the box these shoes are awesome! rubber is amazing! Have no fear these shoes conquer anything from slabby tech routes to sick over-hanging boulder problems. Here's the deal though, I wear a 10 to 10.5 street shoe and I had to drop down to a 41 in these to get a good snug fit. PS. I like my climbing shoes tight enough so they are comfortable when I climb but I wouldn't want to wear them around once I'm on the ground. Size accordingly.

The Miura is my all time favorite technical sport climbing shoe. Snug it up though, I'm a size 10 U.S. street shoe and a 40 in these.

These and the Katanas are the finest shoes ever. They grab those tiny nubbins like no other. I'll never use anything else. Death to synthetics!

This shoe Rocks! It grips the rock well and the rubber lasts. Maybe one day La Sportiva will create the same shoe with hook-and-loop closure.

These babies are awesome. Such a good edge, so comfortable. They are bloody brilliant!

Won't ever go back to different shoes. I have a REALLY high arch and after climbing in MadRock, Evolv and Five Tens...these are the best ift hands down. Plus they are great for edging...and everything else.

Amazing shoes so far. I've been going cheap and ordering discount madrock shoes which are good... but this trumps them no problem. Super aggressive sticky shoe but the toe box is a little big and takes some getting used to but the slick laces full soles make it a great all around bouldering sport climbing shoe.

These are the sickest around. Super sticky and fit me like a glove right off the bat. Hardly a break-in period. Perfect for anyone who is serious about bouldering.

these bad boys are the bomb diggity for routes. i ordered the same size as my normal tennis shoes i wear everyday and the shoes fit like a glove buy aren't painful in the least bit. i've been rippin it up for a minute and the rubber still is holding up. great buy

great shoes.alltough strange syzing.I wear a 42 european size and I wear 39 at miura's.(I have narrow feet).very comftorbale and precise

I pretty much exclusively boulder.. and these shoes are not great for that. they are not sensitive enough, and the heel fit strangely, so that it wasn't great for heel hooks... Also, there was some weird dead space in the front area of the shoe, right in front of the laces, probably because i had to tighten the lace part so much that the front of the shoe (which cannot be adjusted) bunched up. OK support though, for long routes i guess, if you are into that.

I have climbed in Boreals, Red Chilis, and Scarpas. The Miura trumps them all. It climbs face, crack, and it boulders extremely well. I have regular sized feet -nothing special- and they fit me perfectly. Also they get better with age instead of loosing their edge. The best climbing shoe you can get. they are worth ever single penny.

While they are a little pricey, you get what you pay for. The sole is great for durability and providing grip. I don't use these very often but they have still held up very well. Quite aggressive so don't think you can walk very far in them.

There is a reason these have been called that. They kill it at almost every type of climbing. If these fit your feet get them because you will never want another shoe. I size down about 2 sizes in these. Also I have a narrow heel and these fit me well.

The Miura’s are an awesome all around shoes for the climber that can never make up their mind on what style of climbing they are going to do that day. These shoes are real comfortable, edge great, and perform great in cracks and faces alike. The only down fall is that the laces are not as durable as the rest of the shoe, but a piece of thin cordelette corrects that problem.

They're not for everyone. These shoes fit great on my feet: no dead space, real snug. I had a friend try on the same pair and they were horrible for him. Lesson, try them on before you buy them. As for me, they're working out great, well beyond what I expected. I mostly boulder and these can hold the tiniest of edges, work well in a toe hook, and keep your foot locked and ready with the down turn. The heel isn't amazing for hooks since it's smooth, but it's still plenty sticky. Word of warning, these are tiny. I wore a 39.5 in Mythos, and had to get a 40.5 in these.
