La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe - Men's

The super-aggressive La Sportive Miura Rock Climbing Shoe provides the edge you need to send highly technical sport routes and boulder problems. Ultra-sticky Vibram XSV rubber, precision edging performance, and a down-turned toe for superior friction make the Miura the La Sportiva's best-selling high-performance shoe. Dentex lining reduces stretch in these slip-lasted leather shoes—climb in them right out of the box without a painful break-in period. When tiny edges and overhanging sickness is the name of the game, the La Sportiva Miura is the shoe.

Bottom Line: Use the La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe to help you cross another super-technical route out of the guidebook.

Great all around shoe

By:
2 days ago

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.

Great Climbing Shoe

By:
April 2, 2009

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!

How do these compare to the mythos as far as sizing goes. I have a pair of 41 in mythos but they have stretched a lot. should I stay the same with these or go up to the 42 since the uppers are lined? Also how does it fit the foot compared to the mythos. I like the way the mythos fit my foot except i have dead space in the arch.

The Miuras seem to run a bit larger than a lot of shoes. I wear a size 9 street shoe, and my 6.5 Miuras fit perfectly. Just the right amount of tightness in the toes - slightly uncomfortable to walk around in, but great while climbing.

I didn't account for as much stretch as usual because these fit so well out of the box. If you like your shoes *very* tight, you might go down another half-size, but it's probably not necessary.

I usaully get my climbing shoes 1 full size smaller than my street shoes, they will feel a little tight in the toes a especially with a more aggressive shoe but your feet soon get use to the fit. As most climbing shoes tend to stretch over time.

Killer fit, awesome shoes

By:
July 3, 2008

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.

I have wider feet and wear a size US 11.5 or 12. I've heard that Sportiva's generally fit narrower feet better, so I'm curious if these follow that stereotype. Also, how much to size down?

I would say these are on the narrower side, I would size down, that is personal preference, but I would go down around 2 sizes. because they do stretch out a bit.

edgy sport shoe!

By:
November 8, 2008

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.

great fit

By:
May 29, 2007

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.

not for bouldering..

By:
January 16, 2009

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.

Im a novice climber and am looking for a good shoe to start with. Im currently stationed in Iraq serving in the US Army.

My advice is to buy an inexpensive shoe without the bells and whistles for your first pair, 'cause they won't last you that long.

Great all around shoe

By:
November 21, 2008

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.

Sick shoe

By:
October 26, 2008

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

I finally found my shoe!!

By:
September 9, 2009

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!!

What else could you ask for??

By:
October 16, 2006

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.

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.

Best all around

By: Backcountry.com Employee
March 13, 2008

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.

They're great, but...

By:
February 4, 2009

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.

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.

Great all-around shoe!

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.
