Product Description
The sun will always rise in the east and the Miura will always be there to catch the first rays. Or at least as long as La Sportiva keeps making one of the best climbing shoes in the business. The La Sportiva Miura is the ultimate fusion of edging precision and comfort, but if you liked this big wall shoe for everything that it did before, you're going to love the new sensitivity. La Sportiva narrowed the Laspoflex midsole in the forefoot from 1.8 mm. all the way down to 1.1 mm. for almost double the tactile feedback. Feeling is believing, but you'll love the additional confidence. Just like earlier incarnations, this Miura features a quality 4-mm. XSV Vibram sole that delivers superb friction without accelerated wear, which in turn can save your upper body muscles a little energy. One thing to remember about La Sportiva is that the lasts run a little narrower than other climbing brands, so keep this in mind when you're choosing your shoe.

Great shoe for all-around climbing!
By Kris U.
This shoe is comfortable and their lace system makes it super easy to get those shoes on and off with no issues. La Sportiva shoes fit a bit big so I recommend you get half or a full size smaller for a tight fit. I know climbers who have gone up to 3-4 sizes smaller! I have mine one size smaller and it fits great. They also don't smell bad after a climb, which is a plus. I definitely recommend them!

By W. Jung
I found these to be much more better fitting than the Solutions. While the Solutions felt pretty good, over time, my knuckles started hurting from the stress points, which are not forgiving.With the laces, you could "customize" the tightness throughout the shoe, giving you a better fit.It really doesn't take a whole lot of time to get them off or on. I can keep these on for about 3 long gym lead climbs before i feel uncomfortable enough to want to take them off.

By Photoleif
I use the amazing Miura (lace-up) exclusively. I've had 5.10 before, and tried on 11 other pairs (Evolv, Scarpa, etc.) before settling on these. I was holding off due to the price, and ended up wasting an hour fooling with inferior designs and lower-quality materials when I should have just gone with these to begin with. I bought my first pair four years ago and haven't found anything better. I own two pairs now, and alternate depending on what I'm doing.Pros* Superb fit: the arch, heel and tongue shrinkwrap to my foot, and I essentially forget I'm wearing climbing shoes* Sensitivity is fine. There's no searching for the jib or cleft* Protection is great. I can point, hook and edge all day with no concerns* Lacing system, though a bit odd at first, is fast, easy, and hasn't blown out an eyelet or lace path* Laces seem to have some tougher material woven into them... they are tough and despite hundreds of lace-ups, they haven't frayed or snapped... they appear to be capable of enduring for the life of the shoe* Edge rubber is firmer and the toe rubber is softer, like a bighorn sheep's hoof* Lining holds up fine -- no pilling, tearing, moisture issues or general disintegration* Rand is durable and despite a few wear spots, is holding up well with no blowouts or expanding holes* Double heel loops to make fitting faster and reduce wear on a single loop. The loops are also offset so they don't rub the achilles' tendon* Initial size is maintained throughout its life. I consider this a pro, while some might want some stretch. Just know that you're getting a lined shoe and it's going to stay true to sizeCons* One of the most expensive climbing shoes... but ooh what you can do in it...* The toebox is a bit big, even when my foot is at full downturn on a steep overhang. It doesn't bug me, but it does require exact sizing to minimize the bulk* Smearing is.... OK. If you really like to toe-smear, look for something less downturned. These will probably change your style (I have seen this in my wear patterns across the two most recent pairs I own)* When it gets wet, the heel can slip a bit, so I shake some foot powder in, before a session* If you're a vegan, sorry... these are leather. Time to determine just how strong your resolve is... I did think about it, but given the feel of other shoes, compared to this perfect-for-me design, it was no contestOther thoughtsMy street shoe and hiking boot size is 10.5, which equates to a 44. I am most comfortable in a Miura 43, and can fit into 42.5 but they're tight enough to want to take them off during breaks. I feel that I can wear my 43s around for hours straight without feeling like I'll damage my toes, yet the shoes are perfectly ready to go, when i am. My 42.5s are reserved for use when the 43s go get resoled or are soaked, or I'm wanting optimum pointing and edging.I can't wear La Sportiva's boots due to their characteristic narrowness, so I was surprised when these Miuras worked, and not just sort of worked, but more as if they were custom-made for me. I use these primarily on our indoor climbing wall, though I boulder on granite and sandstone in them as well. I can't make any recommendations for big-wall climbing in them, but given that Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell use them for that, well, I think that should fill in the blank.
