La Sportiva Solution Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe

La Sportiva Solution Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 April 25, 2011

The shoe's only real flaw is that toe patch. I can see how over time it'll peel off but other than that it has a thin heel, great snug fit, and the toe box makes it feel almost like cheating! Ridiculously great shoe. Sizing....I would go try them on first. I wear a Katana 37.5 and a Miura VS 38. However I wear a Evolv Predator G2 7.5 and an Evolv Evo 2011 7.0, so if you do the conversions they don't necessarily make sense.

The only true way I was able to ever size these perfectly were to just find a place to try them on, which I had to do in Bishop. It's well worth it to make the effort though as it'll save you some time and hassle later~

This was for my gf but she loves it~ We now have matching balaclavas. Rad~ I wear my while climbing and surprisingly it doesn't hinder my vision as much as I thought it would. Good stuff, especially when the desert is butt-ass cold~

La Sportiva Katana Climbing Shoe - Discontinued Rubber

June 16, 2010

I wear a 38.5 in Miura VS and Solutions, but I have to wear a 37.5 in Katanas. My Katanas squeeze the cuss outta my feet but they'll stretch over time anyway so no big deal. Miura VS and Solutions I sized up in Bishop, down to the most perfect fit possible. So Katanas go a half-size to a whole size (cm) down.
