La Sportiva Miura Climbing Shoe - Men's

From the stunning verts of Smith Rock to the varied and "well-loved" terrain of Eldorado Canyon to the overhanging pockets of Ceuse, the Miura has made an impact on rock climbing worldwide as an edge-obliterating performance machine. Think about this - the Miura won its first Editors' Choice award in 2010!

Improved continually over the years, the current Miura is the perfect tool for performance footwork whether it be on slabs, vertical, or overhanging steep rock. The high tensioned Slingshot Rand is tied into the Powerhinge on the sole so that when small edges are weighted the shoe stretches in the back half of the shoe and not in the front. This allows you to stick on the smallest edges you can find or imagine, all with a phenomenal power transmission to the toe.

Although the Italian leather takes a while to break in, once it does you'll have a glove-like shoe that retains its asymmetrical and downturned shape. The multi-paneled lining gives you the perfect fit and the speed lacing system laces up in a cinch, meaning you can get them off as soon as you hit the ground after clipping the chains.
