        Took my climbing to the next level with this shoe. The fit suctions great to my heal and big toe, and stays comfortable. Quick/Easy to take off to let your feet breath and the velcro holds very tight if necessary. One thing I noticed after a few months was how i wasn't getting any funky smells from them too. Seems the rubber is not only durable and smears well, but it also doesn't retain odor as much as my old pair. At a solid 5.12 with these shoes and can't wait to see where they take me to!

          Have been bouldering with these for a couple months at an indoor gym. A bit pricey, but they have great stick, and they're comfortable (for a super tight rock climbing shoe...). Haven't had any troubles yet.

            These shoes easily outperform my other shoes but come with a cost. They are expensive and never quite seemed broken in. I've earned this giant callous on the top of my big toes. The velcro straps wore right through and broke off at the metal buckle near the toe on both shoes after only a few months of climbing. I just climb in them anyway. This being said, though they can hurt like heck to break in, and they didn't last as long as I'd like, they are amazing performers.

              Comments about La Sportiva Miura VS Rock Shoes - Men's:

              Despite what people say, these shoes -will stretch- out a bit to mold to your feet. While they don't stretch lengthwise, they will stretch at the knuckles of the toes, and a little at the mid sole. With this said, they stay on your feet, making toe/heel hooks solid. You'll notice that, even after a month of constant climbing, the shoe feels like suction cups at the toe and heel, when being removed. The con, as mentioned before, is that depending on your arch, you may encounter a small bubble at the midsole; making the 'farting' noise on landing. The lace-ups will help solve this problem-- Other than that, the edging rubber is fantastic, but will soften a bit, allowing you to feel the material you are stepping on.

                These shoes are really good, they stock really well, edge on almost everything and the cambered toes are really good for crackclimbing when I need to jam a foot into. The only complaint I have is that the left shoe fits a little too tightly, while the right fits fine. This may be due to my own genetic deficiencies, but these shoes work well once you get em broken in, usually a week to 2 weeks.

                    I bought a pair of mythos originally and they simply stretched too much and was going to get those in a smaller size but instead tried on the miuras. Liking the velcro better and the more aggresive style I decided to try them. I am able to stick and hold smaller footholds. Also I feel like I can heel hold better with these as well. Mythos are better if you prefer not to take off your shoes as much but I don't mind taking off my shoes after every climb.

                    Comments about La Sportiva Miura VS Rock Shoes - Men's:

                    I have been climbing for a year and a half, 2-3 times a week at a local gym and occasionally outside. I've had these shoes a year and now have to make the decision to repair or retire them.
                    Performance: Incredible. The aggressive front allowed me to stick my toe in anything, and had no issue with small chips. The shoe will not stretch, but it will soften up a bit, making it more comfortable. But still something you'll want to take off after a climb or two.
                    Durability: After about 4-5 months of use, the velco started to lose its stickiness, particularly the middle strap. This could be fixed by placing the middle strap lower or higher on the shoe, but it would still come undone sometimes in the middle of a climb, and I couldn't secure it mid climb without taking a fall. It didn't really make that much of a difference in performance, but I could feel it when it happened. Here's the real issue. Last night, the clip that the top velcro strap runs through ripped through about 95%, and it's hanging on by a thread. I noticed the other one is about 40% torn. Also, the rubber on the sole is officially starting to crack, and is in need of a resole.
                    Verdict: Yes, I would recommend this shoe. But, take care of it. Don't crank down incredibly hard on the straps everytime you put them on. Try to wear them longer to break them in faster and you won't have to take them off as much, increasing the lifespan of the velcro.

                    I use the Miura VS mostly for bouldering currently. However the shoes have allowed me to do moves that my old shoes slip on and they make me feel more confident in my footing because of it.
