La Sportiva Testarossa Climbing Shoe

Item #LSP0015 | 63 in Stock

What are the differences in fit and performance of the Testarossas...

By Ranked #168 - Climbing Shoes June 1, 2009

What are the differences in fit and performance of the Testarossas vs Miura lace-ups? Recently tried on a pair of the Miura lace-ups in a 42 and loved them. Starting to climb some overhanging routes and looking for a pair of boots to complement my stand-by anasazi velcros... Any suggestions?

The Testarossas are way more aggressive because of the last, the fit and the lacing. This shoe is a much tighter performance fit than Miuras and is considerably more downturned than the Miura...considerably! Think (5.10) Dragon/Anasazi (Scarpa) Mago/ Feroce (Evolv) Predator/Pontas comparisons. Hope this helps.
