La Sportiva Barracuda Climbing Shoe

The La Sportiva Barracuda Rock Climbing Shoe won the Climbing Magazine Editor's Choice Award for its unique features and excellent performance. What makes the Barracuda Climbing Shoe stand out is the Web Rubber toe-top. This sticky rubber covering increases friction when you're jamming a crack or toe hooking on a steep boulder problem. An excellent choice for high-end sport and trad climbs, the Barracuda also has a highly breathable elastic tongue to keep you from sweating like a pig on hot summer days. Asymmetrical lacing pulls this La Sportiva shoe in close for a precision fit, and the lined leather upper keeps stretch to a minimum.

Bottom Line: On steep sport routes and unrelenting cracks, the La Sportiva Barracuda is king.

I have 5.10 Verde in 42 Euro and they are tight. These are 40.5 Euro and they are comfortable! So at least 1.5 sizes Euro depending on what kind of climbing you plan to do in them.
