    There is a reason that this shoe is still selling 30 years after it was released. If I had to only choose 1 pair of climbing shoes for the rest of my life, it would be the Miura lace. This shoe is the ultimate quiver of 1 climbing shoe. It is quite stiff (8/10 stiffness), but still soft enough to climb smeary granite and overhangs. The lace closure system allows for a great fit, and so is comfortable in hand cracks. The stiffness of the shoe allows it to climb miles of techy stone and still maintain power through the feet. It is slightly downturned, but loses a lot of its downturn after a few pitches, as it lacks the P3 Power platform. This is actually great in my opinion, as the shoe smears better due to its flat shape, and is more comfortable and neutral. The shoe is quite assymetric, and has a pointy toe, allowing it to claw into small pockets and features. Although many shoes are better at specific terrain (miura VS for tiny edges, Solution comp for giant roofs, testarossa for steeper edging), this shoe will do everything almost as good. If you have to buy one shoe, let it be this one. One last note, this shoe is QUITE different from the Miura VS. For starters, the Miura VS is stiffer, has a velcro closure, and maintains its downturn shape due to the P3 power platform. Additionally, the Miura Lace version is slightly narrower, and seems to break in a bit faster for me. Although they are both phenomenal shoes, the Lace version is a more all-rounder, while the velcro version is better at tiny edges and sportier terrain.
