When making a redpoint attempt, we pull on our sending shoe, the La Sportiva Miura VS Climbing Shoe. The slingshot rand and P3 system work together to retain the aggressive profile and keep power driving to the toe. Now featuring a narrower heel, this sender hooks onto micro holds at first throw, while the updated closure system boasts hardwearing TPU overlays to resist tears when strapping in tight or blindly searching for a toe hook. La Sportiva didn't touch the sole, so we still get the reliable bite of Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber.
