Powerful Shoe for Wrestling Vermont Schist. Review by Dave

This shoe is for real and it's an absolute dream to climb in. Its super versatile, comfortable, and the fit is fantastic. Like advertised on the La Sportiva website, this shoe is an edging beast. Climbing locally here in Vermont you often find yourself edging on the small ripples that our tough schist offers up. The Katana chews up those dime sized ripples and gives you tons of confidence in your feet. Its nice to see Sportiva using the XS-Edge rubber here as it is more durable than the grip rubber and makes you feel more at ease shelling out the 165 dollars for these bad boys. In my opinion this shoe is well worth the money and compares well to the rest of the fleet of shoes in this high end category. (Posted on 5/3/13)
