Description

<p>The popular Katana climbing shoes have been La Sportiva's flagship for quite some time for the ideal all-round climbing shoe! Less aggressive than its laceable siblings, the Katana offers excellent prerequisites for versatile climbers who like to climb a wide variety of rock formations or extensive multi-pitch climbs that require a comfortable yet stable shoe.</p><p>With low tension, it creates an ample surface for friction climbing, yet at the same time providing the necessary stability on smaller foot holds. On long climbing days, the wide toe box ensures comfortable wear, reduced pressure points and less risk of blisters. The 4 mm thick Vibram® XS Edge sole promises long-lasting grip with sufficient feeling for precise footwork.</p><p>The Katana climbing shoes are completed with the double Velcro fastening system, which makes putting them on and taking them off much easier.</p>
