      Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

      This is my weapon of choice for technical feet-intensive hard climbs, but also for long moderates, since the Miura is precise and at the same time comfortable to wear.
      Very effective lacing system, great fit and very good foot support.

      Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

      I remember the first time I saw these shoes. My friend wore them with a large hole in each shoe where the big toes are. His big toes stuck out, but he still climbed in them. He got lasting value.

      I'm not materialistic, but I would covet these shoes. They will edge - no questions asked. What performance you get out of these shoes depends on you as a climber. I would not waste these shoes for anything less than true outdoor climbing.

      As a high performing shoe, comfort is not an issue. You do have to break these shoes in. In order to know what's a good fit, I would not get these shoes as your first or second pair. It's better to get them when you can use them to their maximum potential (V8+ or 5.13+).

      Vibram XSV rubber lasts and performs. I don't think Evolv rubber or Five Ten's Stealth C4 or Onyxx come close. The only rubber I could think of would be the Stealth HF, but that comes on Five Ten Dragons and VXs. Stealth HF doesn't last as long.

      Since you're paying so much for rock climbing shoes, it might as well be this one. The rubber quality and life is worth the money. The possible sends you could make in this shoe is even greater.

          Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

          A great high precision shoe. Once you get past the break-in process these will fit like a glove. The rubber smears well and the tight toe box makes edging on small holds much easier. My second toe is longer than my first, so I've had issues with other shoes fitting correctly. With these I can fit into a tight pair comfortably. The only draw back might be on longer multi-pitch climbs where a more comfortable, less aggressive shoe is nice to have.

          As usual, Sportiva delivers yet another amazing shoe. Not too uncomfortable, amazing edging on a relatively stiff shoe. Hardly stretches at all, but fits perfectly. Good for anything from smearing to cracks, I've been unable to outclimb them.

          Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

          My climbing in this shoe is limited, but I have climbed in it, and ultimately, for my foot at least, the Scarpa Vision shoe fits much better (no dead space) The Miura seems bulky on my foot, almost boot-like, but without added comfort. Heel on the Miura is fairly high volume, but hardly like the Anasazi. If you're used to the Mythos shoe and are considering the Miura (both are marketed as all-around high-performers), make sure you try on this shoe first and climb around in it. The Mythos will stretch to fit your foot, but this shoe fits only a distinct type of foot and will not stretch much (but will become more comfortable with wear) I would also highly recommend trying out the Scarpa Vision shoe before buying the Miura. But if the Miura fits your foot well, then you're in luck, as the shoe opens up great potential (esp. for edging) if it fits well.

          The Perfect Shoe...Almost

          Pros

          • Very Technical

          Cons

          • Not Super Durable

          Best Uses

          • Bouldering
          • Sport

          Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

          I've been using these shoes for the past couple years primarily for sport climbing and bouldering. Few shoes on the market compare with the Miuras in terms of technical performance. The shoes feature a relatively stiff sole which allows you to stand confidently on the smallest of edges, and a narrow toe box allows the shoe to front point into pockets that other shoes simply can't fit into. There's a reason these are some of the most popular shoes in places like Smith Rock where techy climbing is the name of the game.

          The only thing I don't care for a great deal on the shoes is the rubber. Having also been climbing in the Five Ten Anasazi Velcro's for a couple years, I strongly prefer Stealth Rubber to Vibram both for stickiness and durability. Also, these are not the most sensitive shoes out there, which for someone like me who likes feeling every minuscule texture on each foothold, is something of a drawback.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

          I've had these shoes for about a year, and they're the best technical shoes I've owned. The aggressive form and toe are great for edges and small pockets, however where they excel in design, they lack in comfort. I can't do more than a couple of climbs before my feet need a reprieve, so I would not recommend these as your new big wall shoes. Overall, great shoes that I will have for a long time to come. If you're looking for an aggressive pair of shoes for short climbs or bouldering, you can't go wrong with these.

              Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

              La Sportiva has to let me know if they ever discontinue this shoe so I can order enough pairs to last me the rest of my climbing days. These are amazing rock shoes. Perfect balance of sensitivity, support. Great edging. I have narrow feet and I am always struggling to find shoes that fit, these literally fit like a glove, no dead space at all. If you have wide, high volume feet I wouldn't go with these. Can't comment on the rubber since I just got them but just based on the feel I'm pretty sure it will last longer than the e's that wore through the toe in under five months. Great great shoe!!

              The de facto standard climbing shoe

                Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoes:

                The Miura is most likely the de facto standard climbing shoe for every advanced climber. I'm originally from Franconia which has one of the best climbing in Europe, called the Frankenjura. Lots of limestone with very small and steep foot holds. Almost all of my friends back in Franconia use this shoe, so do I.

                I got myself the second pair already and use one 1.5 sizes smaller so I can wear thin socks in it when climbing or bouldering in cold conditions, and another pair 2 sizes smaller for general purpose.

                The Miura is an amazing shoe when climbing on small foot holds in granite or limestone and has great support on your heel for placing hooks. I had quite a few climbing shoes so far, but will always stick with the Sportivas and the Miura and its variants in particular.
