It's a love hate thing

I love these shoes because unlike a lot of other brands La Sportiva actually fits my foot perfectly! My issue is in the rubber. It isn't the best design wise when it comes to rubber, I am an avid climber but not so much that I expected to have to buy a new pair of shoes within 6 months. 4 months down the line and I can see the slow demise and the impending second pair on the horizon.

If I have more of a choice I would go for something with a little more of a lifespan but annoyingly these are the only shoes which fit well and that kind of thing outweighs everything else.

I would recommend them but don't expect them to last too long.

Dem kann ich (leider) nur zustimmen. Der Schuh ist super aber der Gummi ist bereits nach 2Monaten durch....das ist ein trauriger Rekord

Comfortable but not long lasting

I had 2 pairs, and both of them got destroyed too fast. First one right away on a rock, second in a gym, had to resole them in less then 6 months (climbing 2 times a week).
