Product Description
La Sportiva Katana Yellow/Black – Climbing Shoes
The La Sportiva Katana is a versatile climbing shoe offering an excellent balance of sensitivity, precision and support. Designed for different climbing styles and terrain, it performs confidently on small footholds while retaining the sensitivity needed for more technical and friction-based moves.
The 4 mm Vibram® XS Edge sole provides effective support on micro footholds and resists deformation under load. A full-length 1.1 mm LaSpoFlex midsole combines with the P3™ system to help preserve the shoe’s downturned shape, performance and pushing power over time.
Two opposing hook-and-loop straps allow quick and precise volume adjustment. The updated medial closure structure supports the arch and wraps securely around the foot, while the redesigned tongue makes the shoe easier to put on. A new heel construction provides greater accuracy and control during heel hooks.
