    Woody Jacobson's review

    An absolute edging machine for steep single pitch routes and boulders. Quite aggressive and not the most comfortable but nothing performs like the Miuras!

    Brad Burns, PCGI Single Pitch Instructor, La Sportiva Athlete

    I've used this climbing shoe since the first season I ever rock climbed. It is an all around machine, good at slab, vert, and overhung climbing. The shoe is very stiff, and supports the foot for long pitches. It is incredibly precise and is the single best edging shoe that I have ever used. The velcro-closure system allows for a tight-fit thanks to the 3rd strap, but allows the shoes to be popped on and off between pitches. This shoe is a phenomenal all-arounder, but may not fit more "narrow" foot shapes. Additionally, the shoe is stiff, so those looking for a soft and sensitive shoe may be turned off by its aggressive support.
