La Sportiva Mantis Climbing Shoe

Item #LSP0087 | 52 in Stock
3 Star Rating

comfortable but..

By Ranked #48 - Climbing Shoes January 16, 2009

these are super comfortable shoes, but they feel kind of cheap. i guess these are made in China(?) La sportiva doesn't usually do that, i think. They perform ok though - they are a mid range shoe, not super technical, but they will boulder ok (my friend beasts v8's with them, so there you go..) The thing is, i feel that for 80 dollars, you would be much better off with the evolv defy -- the MOST comfortable bouldering / "semi-technical" (meaning not super downturned, but still very sensitive) shoe EVER MADE!!!
