La Sportiva Venom Climbing Shoe

Item #LSP0055 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good Venom!

By Ranked #32 - Climbing Shoes July 8, 2009

Venoms are pretty good shoes, very curved and edgy. Putting them on at first can be a pain especially if you sized way down. But it gets better.
I normally wear 10.5 shoes (street size) and I sized down to 42 for these ones, same as my Miura VS. Feels the same too.
The heel hook of the Miura VS is better than this one. But it's still good, just gotta be a bit more careful about slipping off.
Another issue is that after a while they still kinda hurt on the first route of the day whereas VS don't.
