Size Chart

 
Lace up version of the famous Katana model. This version offers the same multifunctional use with additional technical solutions enabling the product to provide even higher levels of performance.

The P3 System maintains the downturned shape unaltered for the life of the shoe. The innovative construction method inserts the lining between the leather uppers and the rubber rand, a solution which brings together the structural advantages of a lined shoe and the breathability and precision of an unlined shoe. The tongue is made using a soft and breathable material and the lacing system allows for optimum regulation of the internal volume of the shoe: all elements aimed at providing a great overall fit. The Vibram XS Edge sole allows to you to edge on smaller holds.

  • Upper: A combination of suede leather and Lorica®, tubular construction
  • Lining: Front and back Pacific lining
  • Fit: Medium
  • Midsole: Laspoflex 1,1 mm combined to the P3 System
  • Sole: Vibram® XS Edge 4 mm
  • Weight: 16.5oz /470grams per pair.

            Awesome shoe that wears quickly

                Comments about La Sportiva Katana Lace Climbing Shoe:

                The best shoe I've ever tried. It fits perfectly for my wide feet and is super reliable. Great grip when smearing slabs and super solid on the tiniest footholds. The heel is also very snug and works perfectly for heel hooks.
                The only downside is that the rubber wears out very quickly. I have to re-sole at least every 6 months and once the rubber has worn down they obviously does not perform as well any more.
                If you're on a budget I would not recommend this shoe since it doesn't last, but if you want the best performance - this is the shoe.

                Comments about La Sportiva Katana Lace Climbing Shoe:

                shoe fit is such a personal thing. I have skinny heels and low volume but wide forefoot and toes. Tried to like the Miura lace ups but too narrow in the toebox. Katanas seemed to be roomier up front, but still snug on the heel. Comfortable out of the box with maybe 2 weeks of break in (gym twice a week). I wear a 37 to 38 street size and found the 36 to fit well.

                  It's a good climbing shoe to use when you don't need a lot of sticky shoe, in this case I prefer a Miura model.

                            fits a size smaller than your street shoe. Board lasted for a nice stiff sole with the versitikity of a sport shoe. A good sport shoe for a trad climber
