La Sportiva Miura Reviews £94.49

by Ben Rocks Date Added: Wednesday 21 March, 2012 Brilliant shoe at a great price. Fast delivery. I just can't complain. Excellent Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] by Dan Parry Date Added: Thursday 01 September, 2011 Bought these as a replacement for some Evolv Optimus Primes. Having used these shoes for about 3 months now I have to say I'm very happy with them. The rubber is super grippy for smears, the edges hard wearing and the shoe nice and stiff. And best of all, they haven't started smelling too bad! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] by Jelly Jazzer Date Added: Thursday 05 May, 2011 THE BEST SHOE I HAVE EVER PUT ON MY FEET! I'm now on my third pair and from the second the right size went on....perfect. The sizing is the only thing I had issue's with (street 10, miura 7.5) but once broken in....well like I said PERFECT. Tech grit slabs, steep limestone cracks, multi pitch trad, sport climbing, route setting at work...I use these, the only thing I don't use them for is bouldering BUT then I DON'T BOULDER!!!

The fit pushes the precision of the shoe into the big toe and enables the climber to stand on tiny holds. The shoe is also versatile enough to allow you to smear and trust your feet on the smoothest of slabs. I don't trust me feet in the VS Miuras. I do find that the fit of the heal in both models a bit loose with space around the heal and ankle, but I find that across all shoes and would probably find the women's version of the miura a better fit in this respect. (Unfortunately, they do not sell them here in the UK). Therefore, when heal hooking I need to be really positive about my foot placement and push my heal right back into the shoe which seems to work. My only real criticism of La Sportiva shoes is that they do not last very long. I am on my third pair now over 18 months and I tend not to wear them inside. We will have to see how long the Xs edge rubber lasts! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] by Graham Ellis Date Added: Wednesday 24 November, 2010 Street shoe - 7 Miura - 6 I have narrow, girl-like feet, which are mismatched i.e one is a 7, the other is a 6 1/2. This often leads to bagginess at the front of the shoe. I'll echo the sentiments of other people with regards to the steep stuff, these are superb....but newsflash, they are also pretty amazing on slabs. I wear a street shoe of 7 and these were painful to start with but after 2 weeks (maybe 5 climbing / 4 bouldering sessions) they fit like a glove. All day use is definitely not their strong point, not that I'll be wearing them for that, at some point you are going to sacrifice comfort for performance but they are good for 10-15 minutes at a time I can honestly say, hand on heart, that edging confidence has increased exponentially which leads to sticking moves that, due to the psychological benefit that these shoes give you, wouldn't have been successful before (if that makes sense). Kind of like a confidence snowball if you like. I don't think I'll ever find a perfect pair of shoes unless I get them hand made due to my geisha feet but these are the best shoes I've ever worn, period.
