Edge, smear and grip to your heart's content with the La Sportiva Barracuda—one of the most comfortable and versatile climbing shoes available.

  • Offers optimum performance, precision and sensitivity when pushing the limits and tackling hard grades
  • Leather uppers breathe well, keeping your feet well ventilated
  • Variable lacing system allows the user to achieve an accurate and comfortable fit
  • Slip-lasted and lined, the Barracuda is magic for crack climbing and edging; modified last offers a tech fit with a neutral profile
  • Powerhinge hole cut in the sole causes the shoe to stretch only in the back half, effectively leaving the toes in place to better grip the rock
  • Sticky 4mm Vibram® XS Grip rubber outsole performs well on all types of rock
  • Closeout

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

      Comments about La Sportiva Barracuda Rock Shoes - '08 Closeout:

      Just bought my 2nd pair - this is a great shoe, comfortable enough for long trad routes, aggressive enough to stick those tiny holds. Upgraded from my Mythos to these and went up a whole level in my climbing. Relatively low volume toe box that you don't find in a lot of other shoes, means you don't have a puffy spot of fabric over your toes.
