Pull on the La Sportiva Muira VS rock shoes, cinch the rip-and-stick straps and start up a steep climb with great control. The shoes excel when you're edging or sticking your toes in tiny pockets.

Shoes have an aggressive cambered shape that is especially effective on small edges and in pockets
3 rip-and-stick straps on each shoe give you precise control over the fit and let you put the shoes on and take them off quickly
Slip-lasted construction with leather uppers and wicking Dentex synthetic linings offer lasting performance, flexibility and stretch-resistance
Forefeet use 1.1mm Laspoflex midsole supports for effective edging power and reduced foot fatigue
The 4mm Vibram XS Grip2 soles supply incredible friction in all temperatures

Please note: La Sportiva products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

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

I bought my first pair of Miura VS about six months ago. After about three to four months of climbing in the gym four times a week, the metal loop that holds the adjustable straps began digging into the first strap, to the point of it hanging on by a thread. Going into the fourth month of use, the rubber on the toes starting blowing out. I was disappointed. I didn't even get a chance to take them outside. However, when I needed a new pair, I tried some other brands out, but couldn't grip the wall as well, couldn't smear as well, and didn't have the articulation in my feet that I look for, so I went ahead and ordered another pair of Miura VS. Even though the first pair didn't hold up as long as I wanted, for me, nothing beats the overall fit and wall feel of the Mirua VS.

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

Fantastic shoes! I upgraded from my Sportiva Mythos for a more aggressive shoe. These are amazing! (Seriously, the edging is fantastic) The downturn it not as painful as I was expecting and the shoe fits great. (I also tried on the men's Miuras, but the shape was very awkward on my feet) I did go up a size from my Mythos, since these have a synthetic lining and do not stretch nearly as much as they Mythos. Like many of the reviews, the flowers are not the greatest design, but I'll deal due to how great the shoe is!

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

These shoes are awesome! The rubber is super sticky which makes me much more confident in my feet. The shape is also perfect for all types of climbing.

I will say that they are terribly uncomfortable if you are the kind of person that likes to get a full size smaller. I am a street size 39.5, so I went to a 39 and they were so painful! But I switched them for a 39.5 and they only hurt after a few pitches.

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

I've only been climbing for about 8 months and these are my second pair of shoes. It was definitely an adjustment from the more beginner shoes I previously owned but I don't notice any discomfort anymore. I normally wear size 10 shoes and I purchased a 40. They were very tight at first but it's been about a month and they're much more comfortable now and I could see at some point going another half size down. I like that I can be confident about these shoes outdoors but use them all the time in the gym.

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

I bought two sizes too small (on purpose) which was uncomfortable at first but the show gently forms to your foot for a better comfort and fit. I really enjoy these shoes and any of La Sportiva's products. Since I have very narrow feet, La Sportiva shoes fit me much better and the Miura's are a perfect fit for my small, narrow feet!

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

I normally wear a size 7, 7.5. I have narrow feet. I had previously worn Sportiva climbing shoes in size 7 and as they had stretched out at least half a size I decided to go a full size down and bought a 36. I had read reviews prior and knew they would hurt for a few weeks, however these shoes are so painful I rarely wear them, after just one indoor route my feet are killing me. I even get cramps putting them on. The shoes are precise and technical but I suggest you buy maximum a half size down unless you have a high threshold for pain. Climbing long routes outdoors and multipitches would definately be out of the question.

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

My favorite shoe (and I own 12-15 pairs). On it's second resole, and fits like a glove. I'm a 7.5 street shoe, and I sized down to 36.5 for these shoes. Best for steep routes, sport climbs, technical edging. I sized them tight, so not great for all day multi-pitch routes or smearing, but could get the job done if sized a bit bigger.

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

This is my second pair of climbing shoes, and I couldn't be happier with these. I've only had them for a month so I don't know about the durability yet, but these are perfect for bouldering. I'm not a huge fan of the flowers, but it's worth it to have the lower ankle in the back (the men's version is too high and cuts into your ankle). I think it heel hooks great, you get great precision and power from the toe, and the edging is awesome. I love this shoe and won't be switching anytime soon. It has definitely improved my bouldering just by allowing me to have more confidence in my feet.

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

Picked these up today after seeing them in a Red Rocks film. I took them out to exit 38 for a spin. They performed well on the rhino rock sport routes today, but they've got a technical fit that will make for fantastic bouldering. Toe is surprisingly strong. The ankle is high, but not enough to pinch. I didn't find them to be as adjustable as they look (velcro is a bit limited), which meant that the ankle was a bit loose on me, but everything else fit great. I've got narrow feet, and I'm normally a size 7, but I went for a 38 (7 1/2). If i didn't plan to wear them for multi-pitches, I probably would have gone for a 7. First pair of shoes in a long time and I'm happy with my purchase. Side note: Did they have to put flowers on them??
