Junk. Don’t Waste Your Money

Been climbing in Sportiva shoes my whole life and quality was never an issue, until now. After just two months of very light use (like two one hour gym sessions a week) they started falling apart. The sole of the shoe started separating from the shoe itself. The crazy part is this happened on the outside of the foot, that doesn’t really touch holds or the wall! Not dragging my foot when climbing or anything like that. I was so shocked I contacted Sportiva, thought this was clearly a defective pair of shoes, but they did nothing about it. Super disappointing. Don’t waste your money like I did.

Great Shoe!

I’m pretty new to climbing so I can only compare them to shoes I’ve rented but I have enjoyed them very much. They are pretty comfortable and light weight. Would definitley recommend.

Solid Shoes!

These are my first pair of shoes and I really like them! I’m not extremely experienced, but they seem really solid, especially compared to the rental shoes I’d been wearing! The Velcro is really nice, and I like how you can angle the straps a bit to vary your fit. I tried them the first time and they rubbed a bit on my toes, but since then I haven’t had any hot spots or blisters, so I’m looking forward to climbing with them more!

Excellent Beginner Shoe

I bought these for my 12 year old son. They are affordable and great shoe for a beginner. They fit his wide feet and are wiill allow him to progress in his climbing without needing another shoe any time soon.

Just As Comfy As The Laced Version

I used to own the laced version of this shoe (La Sportiva Tarantulace) and I'm a huge fan of the velcro closure system. While the heel cup may not be as tight as the Tarantulace's, this shoe is MUCH easier to take on and off...which is especially useful if you're doing a lot of outdoor bouldering that requires you to take your shoes on and off frequently. This shoe will never be as aggressive as the La Sportiva Solution or as well rounded as the La Sportiva TC Pro, but if you're looking for a low-cost but incredibly durable and comfortable shoe, look no further! I love these and expect them to last
