Solution
The La Sportiva Solution is a revolutionary rock shoe developed specifically for bouldering. Whatever technical problem the rock presents, the “Solution” rock shoe gives you the support you need with the most innovative technology to overcome the boulder move. The upper uses Lock Harness System® technology, which hugs the foot from the inside and combines with the unique deep heel-cups to ensure maximum flexibility when hooking, on incuts and overhangs. The La Sportiva Solution utilises the P3® (Permanent Power Platform) randing system, an active part of the shoe which gives it its versatility and works in synergy with the base of the foot to spread and maintain tension through time. The innovative Fast Lacing System® combined with the tongue in elasticized fabric ensures optimal adjustment of the internal volume.

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.

Mr
Love it.
Used bananafingers in the past for shoes, again I wasn't disappointed, first class service and great delivery time. very happy and will be using them again
keep up the good work
Love, love, love these shoes! I'm a La Sportiva fan, I've owned a pair of velcro Katana's which were good, and a pair of Cobra slippers which were tight and good. But MAN! do the Genius' blow them both out of the water. Not only a super technical shoe, but a surprisingly really, really comfortable shoe. I was shocked. I'm still shocked. My foot shape seems to work well with these and they stick to everything. Minor discomfort with a seam that was rubbing on my heel bone, but I just taped it up and now after about 4 or 5 months it's just perfect. I love these shoes. I hope they never stop making them!
Great shoes. Perfect fit for me. I used to use scarpa, but new models heel shape has changed and dont fit so well.
These solutions where the solution :-) they fit brilliantly on the heel and they are a great technical shoes all round.
If you are buing your first pair, I would suggest to use bananafingers size comparison table across makes, since la sportivas numbers seem bigger than scarpas. I was using uk8 on scarpa and I use uk7.5 on my solutions. Don't buy them big or just comfy, they are not meant to be. If your toes dont fill the toe box you'll find that you have too much rubber at the front and will loose power on the tip of the shoe. They also give a bit.
This won't be my last pair. Im very happy with them.
Amazing climbing shoes. They just stick to anything and everything, and are a comfy snug fit. Great for feeling your way around a hold to find a good spot to place your foot. I can't fault this shoe!
