La Sportiva Katana Vibram XS Edge Climbing Shoe

By Ranked #1060 - Climbing Shoes March 27, 2008

I've gone through 2 pairs of these shoes (resoled my first one's twice) No shoe fits like the katana! Thanks to the leather construction the shoe will stretch slightly over time resulting in a custom fit for your feet. I usually size 3 to 4 sizes smaller than my regular shoe size. (I wear a 47 normally and my katanas are 43 1/2's; although my next pair will be 43's.) The sole is a little softer than the muiras resulting in better smearing performance. If you are sick of shoes slipping around on your foot/heel this is the one for you. Well worth it!
