La Sportiva  Miura Climbing Shoes - Men's

I went through 3-4 Miuras (all lace ups) and none of those gave me as much trouble as this model. Something is wrong with the stitching on the inside of the back of the right foot. It digs through my skin and drew blood. Also, the laces are almost gone with less than two months of wearing (3 times/week at the gym)

This is THE best jack-of-all-trades, high performance climbing shoe that I have ever owned. If I had to chose only 1 climbing shoe to use for the rest of my life, it would be this shoe. It is great at edging, cracks, steep terrain, slab. Although other shoes may be better at each of these disciplines individually, this shoe does it all with incredible performance. If I am going somewhere new and don't know what to expect with the footwork, this shoe is always in my bag. From Hard sport, to multipitch trad, this shoe does it all, and has been since the 90's.

I bought this shoe as an upgrade from my beginner shoe. It suited my purposes for a short time but after climbing in them for a month and a half they had completely lost their downturn and I had almost completely blown through the toe. Granted, I did climb with these close to 35 days in that month and a half, but I was disappointed in them. They also weren't very comfortable for my wide feet. If you have narrow feet I'm sure they'd be more comfortable but my foot didn't really work with them. I wouldn't say these are a bad shoe, I mean after all they've climbed 5.15c and free soloed Half Dome, but they weren't my favorite.

I have been climbing in the Miura since it first came out many many moons ago. It WAS the Smith Rock shoe. It has since turned into the shoe I use the most for difficult multi-pitch routes. Classics like the Naked Edge in Eldorado Canyon are perfect for the Miura. Or is the Miura is perfect for the Naked Edge:) When the new design was rumored to be coming out I was a bit worried that it would change. There are some slight changes which are mostly cosmetic but the new heel rand and fit are better for me now. I have a narrowish type foot and low heal volume so that was very welcomed. I can't imagine this shoe leaving my quiver anytime soon! Thanks Sportiva!

These are the ideal shoes for sport climbing in my area, Potrero Chico and El Salto, worn by all serious local climbers. A solid tip holds on well to sharp limestone edges and smears alike. They have also worked fantastically for indoor bouldering and sport climbing. I would subtract a star due to them losing their aggressive downturned shape very quickly, resulting in a neutral, but more comfortable, shoe. It is not a real problem for me, but i would rather recommend anyone who expects the shape to stay to opt for the model with the velcro straps.

Last year I picked up my first pair of Miura. I have loved them. Had been in a pair of Katana but wanted something lace up to adjust the fit a bit more as well as something a bit stiffer. They have held up well and once broken in they are comfortable for me to wear on long multi pitch routes. They have been my go to shoe all year and I look forward to my next pair. Thanks Sportiva!

I've been climbing in the Miuras since the early 2000s and have loved the shoes over the years. Recently my old pair needed to be resoled, so while they were off at the shop getting new rubber I ordered a pair of the new models. I wanted a size just a little larger for all day comfort so I ordered 46 (normally I order 45.5). When I got them they are smaller than the 45.5 that I had off being resoled. I'm not sure why they changed the sizing and the unfortunate part is that 46 is the largest size they have, so I can't order the next size up.....

I might be partial because I was wearing these shoes when I sent my project, but I love them. They broke in well after a few sessions. Love the fit. They’ve been great in the gym and I’ll be taking them outside this summer.

I really like the Miura. This new version seems to have only changed cosmetically. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I wish they were a little less asymmetric, and that they held their down turn a little better. Other than that. These are great.

I’ve used these shoes for approximately 7 years, i resoled my 1st pair 2-3 times and just bought my second pair. Same quality, same excellent fit, the miura are my go to all around shoes, i use them to train, climb multipitch and also moderate boulders/routes.
