La Sportiva Tarantula Climbing Shoe

Why We Like The Tarantula Climbing Shoe

When it comes to learning the ropes at the gym, the last distraction we need is unreliable, painful shoes. That's why we love the Tarantula Climbing Shoe. Not only does it allow us to improve our technique on the wall while gaining trust with tiny footholds, but its low-profile design helps us enjoy the process more by keeping our toes comfortable.

Sole separation in 3 months

Familiarity:: I've used it several times
Size Bought:: 42.5
Height:: 5' 9"
Weight:: 185

Would have. Expected these to last longer. Very disappointed. Not a great way for entry level folks to get introduced to climbing when the gear lasts only 3 months...

Amazing beginner shoe

Familiarity:: I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:: 46.5
Height:: 6' 2"
Weight:: 190

Low cost and really great platform to learn and build on for bouldering and top rope. It fared well outdoors but I think is meant as a beginner gym shoe. The rubber isn’t phenomenal but that’s expected. The shoes are cheap and the sole peels later into their life. But true to your street size and enjoy learning on these. They’re good at smearing, edging, okay and heel hooking, okay at toe hooking, offer good friction with correct form

Shoes are different sizes!

Size Bought:: 42.5

The two shoes I bought both are labeled 42.5 but the right is noticeably larger. See attached photo. Very disappointed from a brand as well known as La Sportiva!
