Game changers. I was hesitant on getting into a downturned, more aggressive shoe because of my foot shape and really struggled to find the right shoe, until I found the Miuras. These shoes are a godsend. I wore them for the first time expecting to be on the struggle bus breaking them in but honestly, it was not bad and I happily took the trade for how incredible these shoes are. I only climbed in the gym the first day and wow - every toe chip and smear felt 100% stable and the power in the toes was huge. 10/10 recommend these shoes. I also heard if you need lower volume, the women's miuras are fire as well - my wife has them and loves them. Get pair, you won't regret it.

For those Sportiva loyalist these are effectively the new version of the Katanas that they made back in the early 2000's. They are super aggressive shoes for the serious climber. These are best for the boulders and very technical sport/trad climbers. The rubber is great, very sticky and looks to be holding up nicely on real rock. I would expect them to last a really long time if most of what you do is gym climbing. The only down side is comfort. I took Sportiva's recommendation to go down a size from my street shoes and they are tight. They should break-in eventually but if you are scrambling or doing anything that is multi-pitch where you have to walk some ledges I would go true to size. They also upped the straps from two to three so you can adjust the tightness ... MoreFor those Sportiva loyalist these are effectively the new version of the Katanas that they made back in the early 2000's.

The Miura VS is a phenomenal climbing shoe that excels on steep routes. I have been wearing La Sportiva shoes for almost two decades and the Miura has been a staple during those years. Performance wise, these shoes are most at home when bouldering and sport climbing - the P3 construction is truly the best out there for power transfer on steep climbs. Heal hooking is another strong suit and the shoe definitely performs better in this regard than its sibling, the Solution. Edging is fantastic and the rubber holds up well over time.As for sizing, I have a lower volume foot and size down two full numbers from my street shoe - across all brands I wear an 11US / 44EU and go with a 42EU in the Miura. This strikes a great balance with it being aggressive and precise, ... MoreThe Miura VS is a phenomenal climbing shoe that excels on steep routes.

This strikes a great balance with it being aggressive and precise, while also comfortable enough that I can wear them for an hour without a break. After 3-4 sessions the shoe will stretch and form to your foot, especially in the toe box area.Overall, this one of the best aggressive shoes available and one I would highly recommend. I currently have 3 shoes in my bag, the other two being the Solution and Katana Lace, and find myself reaching for these more often than not.

The common recommendation for these shoes is to get them painfully tight, and I have bought pairs of these shoes downsized in the past. However, I had ankle surgery earlier this year, and needed a pair of shoes that would be comfortable during my recovery. So I got these 1/2 size larger than my usual 45.5 La Sportiva size. I was shocked at how comfortable the 46s are; and since I am not a 5.13 climber, I experienced no dropoff in performance. They fit perfectly, and are edging and performance beasts. Yes, I can wear these in 45; but I really don't want to suffer when I can climb to my skill limit without the excruciation.
There's a reason why these shoes have been at the top of the LaSportiva line for more than 20 years and were rated the Best Climbing Shoe of 2022, beating all the newer models on the market. These Miuras are simply the best shoe for edging and aggressive climbing; and will take your achievements to the next level. But two caveats: First, in order to get the best performance out of these Miuras, you must fit them TIGHT. Second, that means your break in period is going to be uncomfortable. But if you endure the pain for a couple of sessions, you'll be rewarded with shoes upon which you can rely like no other! I am recovering from ankle tendon surgery, so I got a pair a full size over my "send" size, 46 versus 45. Normally, I wear 45.5 in various LaSportiva shoes, like ... MoreThere's a reason why these shoes have been at the top of the LaSportiva line for more than 20 years and were rated the Best Climbing Shoe of 2022, beating all the newer models on the market.

Normally, I wear 45.5 in various LaSportiva shoes, like Solutions, Solution Comps and TC Pros; but again, these Miuras are for "the send" not walking around at the crag or multi-pitch.
These Miuras have been at the top of the La Sportiva line for something like 20 years, and were rated the Best Climbing Shoe of 2022. They edge like no other shoe, hold their downturn and shape across the life of the shoe and can tackle any route or project you can throw at them. They perform best when fitted TIGHTLY; but if you can endure a short-but-painful break-in period, your payoff is a pair of shoes that can really elevate your climbing prowess to the next level. I am recovering from ankle tendon surgery; so I got a pair a full size above my "send" size, 46 versus 45 FWIW. Once I am back in form, I'll downsize accordingly. Honestly, I have more confidence in these Miuras than any other shoe I have ever climbed in; and I recommend them to you without ... MoreThese Miuras have been at the top of the La Sportiva line for something like 20 years, and were rated the Best Climbing Shoe of 2022.

I’m really happy with these shoes. I have liked my neutral La sportivas., and resolved those a couple of times, but wanted some more aggressive shoes, too. I boulder indoors. I tried some other options (from other brands), that were painful or didn’t really work well, and then went for these. I know everyone’s feet are different, but after breaking these in for about 4 sessions, these became comfortable, but very snug. I do 1-2 hour sessions and take them off once or twice and can walk around with them (slowly, but without pain). Can get in tiny edges and heel doesn’t slide around on heel hooks. I’m a ~v6 climber. The only issue is that it is one continuous sole, so resolving them could be a challenge.
I was immediately impressed with the Miura VS construction. I will admit, I’ve been a lace-up climbing shoes guy for the length of my climbing career. Velcro was never at the front of my mind- however, I must amend this way of thinking; the Miura VS has revived my confidence in hook/loop strapsI have flat feet and a shallow heel. Downturns, especially that were built to heel hook, have never worked for me- UNTIL NOW!! Wearing these shoes, there is no extra space in my heel box (amazing) and the downturn isn’t so bonkers aggressive that I can’t climb in them- they’re practically an extension of my feet and toes.The edging capability of these baddies is next level. I’ve put my full body weight on the nubbiest, dime-thick pieces of plastic and they keep me ... MoreI was immediately impressed with the Miura VS construction.

I’ve put my full body weight on the nubbiest, dime-thick pieces of plastic and they keep me confident and safe.The shape isn’t so compact that my toes die and become necrotic either. I think that’s an issue with other aggressive shoes that we see today. The slingshot rand seems to correct it well!The heel hook action works as expected, isn’t something to write home about, but you shouldn’t really feel need to complain either.The rubber is soft enough to feel those micro edges, firm enough to not give way. You’ll love it.I’m a EU 43, I wear 43.5 in the Miura VS.Happy climbing, y’all.
The sizing and toebox has changed since the last model of these shoes. If you have Greek feet (second toe is the longest), these most likely won’t fit you anymore. They certainly don’t fit me anymore, which I’m sad about because these were my favorite climbing shoes by far. Bring back the old model!Also to note, the sizing is now about a full size smaller than the previous model, but to be fair the last model’s sizing was funky. I think the sizing of this model is more in-line with street shoe sizes.
Overall this shoe handled both indoor and outdoor bouldering with ease. I found standing on relatively small foot jibs or crystals outside relatively easy, with minimal discomfort in the toes. The Vibram rubber has nice sticky friction out of the box and smeared well on the gym wall. The Velcro closure system is nice and the three straps let you dial in a nice fit. The straps feel beefy too, which left a durable impression. My only complaints with the show is that the heel felt a little sloppy and the back of the shoe rubber my Achilles tendon leaving a hot spot on both ankles. I would suggest sizing down at least 1 size from your street shoe to optimize fit.
