What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wear the Katana Lace when I need a shoe that can edge hard but still feel good all day. The fit is dialed and the support under the toe is incredible. It's my go-to for technical face climbing, thin cracks, and anything that requires control."The La Sportiva Katana Lace Climbing Shoe blends high-performance edging power with surprising comfort, making it a favorite for climbers pushing grades on vertical and slightly overhung terrain. The updated design enhances sensitivity and precision without compromising on support. The P3(R) platform maintains the shoe's shape over time, while the Vibram(R) XS Edge rubber keeps our feet locked in on micro features and razor edges. With a tensioned heel and low-profile toe, it transitions seamlessly from thin cracks to techy face routes. Whether we're roping up for limestone or granite, the Katana Lace stays responsive and dependable from bottom to anchor.
