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

I'm now on my second pair of the Women's Miuras, and I couldn't be happier with them. They are the only shoe that I've been able to find that really fit my arch and my heel perfectly.

They're great for bouldering and indoor climbing. I will also use them outside when I'm on more technical sport routes, but wouldn't suggest them for multi-pitch, as they tend to start hurting my toes after a short time.

The sizing on these is pretty standard for La Sportiva. I wear a 6.5-7 regular shoe and wear a 35.5 in these. I wish that La Sportiva would come out with a velcro version of these like they did for the Men's Muiras.

Overall, these are a great pick for anyone looking for a more technical shoe. I probably wouldn't recommend them for someone just getting in to climbing.

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

A comfortable shoe that is incredible for technical, precision climbing. It's a laceup (which I listed as a con, but for most people is a positive), and the shoe will give your feet unprecedented precision on the rock.

Note: the womens' version is way more comfortable and precise (in my opinion) than the mens. I know many men that use the womens Miura, including professional climbers.

These are high-performance shoes along the same lines as the Testarossas.

The fit has a tendency to vary, so it's very difficult to buy these online. With Sportivas there's no 'hard and fast' rule - like 'buy two sizes smaller'. It's important to try them before you buy them... or have enough time before your next outing to get them back for the right size.

These shoes are fantastic. Great performance, esp on small stuff, and much more comfortable than Katanas (for me). I wear a 7 street shoe and a 36 Miura/Katana.

Great shoe! I love this shoe, good color, great design. I love the bungy ties. I put two knots on the end so they don't slide through. Favorite shoes by far.

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

These shoes are great, definitely size them about 2 sizes below your street shoe size. I wear a 40.5 in Mythos, and bought these shoes in the same size. Reading about the differences between the mens and womens versions, I opted for the womens model and the padded heel and tongue are a definite plus.

Much better for precise footwork and overhang in comparison to my Mythos.

I love these shoes. I am probably not wearing them as tight as I could, but I do go outside with them a fair bunch and am able to keep them on. They are my "sending shoes".

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

I've been climbing fairly consistently over the past year and the Mythos were my first pair of shoes, that were incredibly comfortable, but stretched too much and got stolen.

I picked up these Muiras and was told that they would stretch out, so I got a size down. 6 months later, they barely stretched at all and maintained the same shape fairly well. So I recently picked up another pair in my size and they fit and feel wonderful.

The toe box offers a lot of support and the slight down turn is great for catching support on smaller surfaces. I don't smear that often, but when I need to, it sticks incredibly well.

The break in time hurts as others have mentioned, and after 6 months I barely noticed any stretch so I would wear exact size or maybe just a half size smaller.

All around great shoe

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

I use these shoes for indoor and outdoor climbing and they are wonderful for both. Edging is amazing in these shoes and the control they allow is wonderful as well. The only thing that bummed me out was that the break in time hurt quite a bit on my feet (my feet are kind of pansyish so it doesn't take much) Also the heel is almost to big for me but that could be just how my feet fit the shoes. Plain and simple I love these shoes. They are my Favorites thus far.

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

Putting on the shoe for the first time you can tell it's going to very comfortable,and Takes about the usual week/2weeks to break in, stretches about half the size. nice for bouldering, the pointy toe good on small stuff.
what i dont like are the laces, and the heel end kind of rubbes, but when it breaks-in it feels normal, and the placing of the Heel-loops, to help get your foot in are placed bad (I think), but once broken in its an AMAZING SHOE!

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

This is a great climbing shoe. The "upgrades" in the womens' model make it worth getting even if you're a guy. The padded tongue and ankle add tons of comfort to an already amazing shoe.

Well worth the money.
