La Sportiva Sport & Bouldering Shoes Genius Climbing Shoe

Genius Climbing Shoe

La Sportiva calls the Genius Climbing Shoe its highest performing shoe for boulderers, sport climbers, and overhanging aficionados. The Genius gains its high performance through a No-Edge technology rubber overlay over the toe, which grips on edges and make-believe footholds like they were ledges. This remarkable technology lets you place your feet quicker and more efficiently, without having to readjust because No-Edge feels that good on the first step. The Genius also features La Sportiva’s mind-bending P3 technology that made the Solution one of the most popular shoes today. P3 uses a Permanent Power Platform to maintain the Genius’ aggressive downturn for life. Like the Testarossa, the Genius’ heel is surprisingly soft, stretchy, and sensitive for a proper fit as well as solid heel-hooking.
