Mantra
Back in the day, nearly 20 years ago in 1999, La Sportiva created one of its lightest and most sensitive climbing shoes with No-Edge® Technology, the Mantra. Now the Mantra has been re-discovered and re-introduced to the climbing world, and features the latest technological climbing shoe technology and advancements. Built for glassy slopers as well as technical slab climbing, the La Sportiva Mantra boasts a deconstructed upper, whilst its sole rubber is reduced to a minimum, allowing improved sensitivity. Combining the No-Edge® concept with D-Tech™ Technology (Dynamic Technology), the sole wraps the shoe laterally for a total absence of edges, whilst thanks to the absence of a midsole, the Mantra allows easy movement of your toes both up and down for total forefoot control and increased grip on large volumes and macros at the climbing gym. A superb all-round, slip-on climbing shoe, the La Sportiva Mantra builds on years of visionary climbing shoe production, making the Mantra an ultimate, performance climbing shoe without the faff of laces or velcro, and the comfort of a slip-on build.

How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.
