La Sportiva's Men's Katana climbing shoe works equally well on long routes and boulders. Comfortable and versatile, it'll handle whatever route or boulder you have planned. La Sportiva's Permanent Power Platform ensures they keep their shape even after many hours of use. The opposing hook-and-loop closure straps give a precise fit, and the upper strap pulls the arch and heel for extra security. A narrow heel means confidence while performing heel hooks. Capped with Vibram's XS Edge rubber, it gives the traction and support needed to handle small breaks and edges.
