Theory
The La Sportiva Theory is an evolution of the species, its massively adaptable: its both super soft and sensitive while being powerful on small edges at the same time. It's a high-performance indoor climbing specialist.
La Sportiva has used Vibram® XS Grip2 for maximum friction; there is no midsole to make the shoe softer and more adaptable. They have even differentiated thickness at the toes for better sensitivity. The Theory uses D-Tech™ construction to wrap the sole sideways around the sides of the shoe for great No-Edge feel on the sides but maintaining the edge on the front of the shoe for full power on small holds. The toe has is covered in rubber but it thin and soft for better responsiveness in tooks and heel follows though with a reduced volume allows for maximum precision on heel hooks. It's designed to get the most rubber contact with the holds.

So Good!!
Super easy to break in, the heel fits my low volume heel pretty well, and the toe is super precise. Can edge okay, but i wouldn't want to do it for a long time, but it still has plenty of power to pull with toes. I Sized up half a size from normal because its a synthetic shoe and wont stretch as much and they are very comfy, but also fit like a glove.
