La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe - Men's Discontinued Rubber

La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe - Men's Discontinued Rubber

Rating for this product: 5 December 11, 2009

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.

La Sportiva Katana Climbing Shoe - Discontinued Rubber

November 7, 2009

I wear and 8.5 in Evolv Evo and 5.10 Coyote. Both are a snug fit. What size would i be in the Katana? Ideally I would want to try on before I buy but none of the stores around me carry this shoe.
