La Sportiva Sport & Bouldering Shoes Theory Climbing Shoe

Theory Climbing Shoe

There are some climbs out there with more theories for beta than actual redpoints, and most routes in competitions require theoretical beta for every competitor. For climbs like these, there’s the La Sportiva Theory Climbing Shoe. It’s one of La Sportiva’s most sensitive climbing shoes designed specifically for modern competition climbing and futuristic maneuvers. Unique to La Sportiva, No-Edge technology forgoes the use of more rubber to create edges in order to put your toe closer to microscopic footholds. This enhances overall sensitivity that could be crucial to theorizing your beta into an actual send.
