Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Softer, more comfortable model
6 years ago
I just picked up the new 2018 Futura and was very excited with the small changes that were made in the new shoe: a more comfortable fit, hugging the foot even more like a sock. This is a very soft shoe, and is very sensitive; you can really feel your toes wrap themselves around holds. The new model seems to stretch and bend with your movements to a higher degree and feels just like an extention of your foot. One thing to note is that the sizing was different from my first pair: i wore a pair of 41 that felt tight even after a long break in period- but the same size in the new model felt quite a bit looser so I went a half size down to a 40.5 and the fit was perfect.

Super sticky and sensitive = Top quality shoes

The Futura are my go-to shoes for hard boulders and lead projects ! I have these shoes for over 9 months and really love them! The no-edge technology brings my toes much closer to the rock compared to regular climbing shoes. This allows me to transfer the power directly through my toes onto the rock and not onto an artificial edge, which could bend or collapse. Their sensitivity makes my foot movements more precise and safer. The shoes are built with the P3 midsole, which retains its shape easily under pressure. The Velcro lacing system is perfect for stepping in and out of them easily without compromising the tight fit. You should try these shoes outside or inside! You will not regret it!

Great shoe, lacks durability
6 years ago
Very comfortable for an aggressive shoe. Started falling apart within a month. Used them exclusively outdoors, sport climbing and bouldering. Toe blew out after 4 weekends. Rubber seams around toe started to peel. Rubber pads on top began to peel off shoe from toe hooks. Stitching on velcro came undone. Strap system close to ripping. Loss noticeable chunks of rubber when climbing on granite crystals. Shoe climbed amazing while it lasted. Not sure if no edge technology works or the rubber is just extremely soft.

Durable and Consistant

When I bought these I was a bit apprehensive about the whole No-Edge thing, but I will have to say these shoes earned my admiration fast. You wont have that grip of a crisp edge on a brand new, aggressive, regular sole climbing shoes, but its pretty close. However if you compare no edge shoes to regular soles after, say a month and a half of regular use, they will provide a much more consistent experience throughout their lifespan. I've had mine for about 2 months now and though the shoes have been broken in, toe grip is essentially unchanged. The last feels pretty good for my relatively wide feet. The heel feels great, especilly compared to shoes like the La Sportiva Solutions. Toes have decent coverage for toe hooks as well

Very bad assembly quality

Had two pairs of this shoes in last 2 month. I returned both of them because the stitches holding the straps teared down... Except of the assembly quality the shoes are very comfortable to wear and are pretty sensitive.

No-Edge for the win!
4 years ago
I purchased these a month ago after finally destroying my beloved Pythons. I was hesitant to invest in the No-Edge technology for a high-level climbing shoe but the Futuras performed exceedingly well right out of the box. I put them to the test on some difficult slab climbing at the New River Gorge and was surprised at how well I could edge on the rounded no edge. I'm a huge fan of soft-soled shoes and the ultra-comfortable midsole fit my arch right away. For reference, I wear 37.5 in these and most other LaSpo shoes, so the sizing is on point for me.

The Most Supportive Sensitive Shoe
5 years ago
I've been a fan of no-edge shoes since the original Speedster, and the Futura builds on the great performance of that shoe by adding more support under the toe and the ability to adjust the fit via the speed adjust strap. The sole design allows you to feel out footholds like none other, and you can make micro-adjustments to really lock the toe positioning in place. Still soft and flexible enough to get tons of rubber contact on big holds and features. The neoprene tongue combination with the velcro strap works well to lock down the heel and adjust the tension of the shoe on the top of the foot. Sizing - Street shoe size is 44, sized these down to a 41. For LS shoe comparison, I size Solutions at a 41 and Skwamas at a 40.5.

super sticky

Climbed all night in these at a shoe demo, I sized up a bit from my muiras so that I could easily flatten my feet on volumes and mantles, and even straght on the wall, and these just STUCK. it was great! Will be buying these shortly for swapping in for routes like that. My most common worn street shoe is a 42.5(us9) and my muiras are 39s(us6), I wore a 40 and 41 of these and much preferred the 41s(they were used so already broken in and stretched) but theyre VERY soft so the rubber will wear through quicker than others without good footwork.

Great shoe for steep routes and bouldering
7 years ago
The Futura is an amazing shoe. At first I didn't think I would like the edgeless technology, but it turns out I love it. One of the best features is the the show lasts longer before resoles. I don't know how this works, but I think it allows you to use more of the sole and not be dialed into one wear point. They are really soft and I can curl my toes around holds on overhangs to pull myself into and up the rock. My friend Juan even prefers them on harder Eldorado Canyon (CO) routes.

Put your toe wherever you want
6 years ago
I have been using this shoe for the last 3 years and I am so sad that mine are about ready to be retired. Don't get me wrong, These shoes could last a lot longer than 3 years if you want, but I abused me pair. In the gym, outdoor sport, and out door lead climbing these were the only pair of shoes I used. One plus of the fact that there is no edge is that your toes become even stronger because it is more your foot on the hold than the shoe itself. Many people still do not understand why one would use a climbing shoe without an edge and to give them credit, there are slight disadvantages of not having an edge. However, the Futura has its specialty and so does every other show. Bottom line is if you want a very high performing rock shoe that you always feel comfortable smearing onto a foot hold with, this is the shoe!
