La Sportiva  Miura Climbing Shoes - Women's

I actually have no idea how many pairs of Miuras I have owned over the years. Lots and lots...and lots is all I can say. I have worn them all over the place and have climbed many types of stone with them. From Indian Creek splitters to techy face climbing to alpine granite...they are amazing! I wore them on first ascents in Wadi Rum, Patagonia, Morocco, the Buggaboos.. They are absolutely my favorite shoe. And they perform so well that I don't have to wear them super tight. Maybe that is the best reason to get a pair of these! They don't have to hurt to be awesome!

I absolutely adore these shoes! The break in time for me personally was about 1-2 gym sessions. They are so comfortable, pretty sensitive and will edge like a MF. I use them for gym sport climbing and they are superb. I tried crack climbing with them but it was very painful for my toes, so back to my TC’s for cracks but otherwise these rock. I haven’t used my muiras for bouldering since I use my katanas but I imagine they would excel there too. :) well worth the price if you sport climb. Lastly, I have been using them consistently over the last 6 months and the wear truly looks minimal. And by consistently I mean several times a week every week. Hope this helps!

Note- I am a 165 lb male. I originally purchased the men’s size 40. My normal shoe size is 42. One shoe was markedly bigger than the other so I got the same size of Muiras in the women’s version. Besides the fit being correct the women’s version was very similar except got the Edge2 rubber has a little bit more sensitivity. At first glance the ankle was a little wide due to the padded heel collar although that disappeared after the first climb and wasn’t an issue. The women’s version felt like it was quicker to break in. It seems there is no difference in the width or volume of the shoe; both pairs are for narrow feet. Overall it’s a great shoe on par with the original Miura but with a little more sensitivity in the sole despite both edging well.

I absolutely love these climbing shoes. I wish that they carried them in store so I could have fallen in love with them sooner when I was looking for a shoe a while back. I like laces so that they can be pulled snug for a narrow foot. They fit my foot shape perfectly and it feels very natural to climb in them, especially on tiny foot holds. I might only get these forever now.

If I’m going on a climbing trip and I could only pack one pair of shoes, the Muiras would be the climbing shoes I would choose. They keep me standing on micro-edges with ease, excel at pocket climbing, stick to slabs, good for steep climbing, and can heel-hook. The laces make them work in cracks, however I wouldn’t wear these for a long crack climb as the narrow toe box can hurt my toes after a long period of time. I like how the rubber is durable and lasts for a long time. I have narrow, low volume feet so having the laces help me adjust the fit of the shoe to my feet.

These climbing shoes are my go to for sport climbing. They provide a solid toe hold and grippy rubber, which helps me feel secure on difficult routes. The lace-ups fit my feet better than the velcro style. I’ve tried a few other shoes, but keep coming back to these!

I bought these online after hearing rave reviews. I've been climbing on and off for 7 years and looking to up my game in edging. The top of the heelcup on these dug into my achilles so badly I was unable to flex my foot properly, while at the same time the material around my ankle sagged out so much I could fit three fingers down into the shoe. They looked ridiculous on me, the lacing system left extra material all over the top of the shoe in a hilarious way. They were not oversized. The structure of the rubber on the bottom of the shoe and toe box fit perfectly. I would not be able to climb outside in these, sand and dirt easily would slip into the gaping sides and down into the shoe. Somehow the fit was simultaneously way too big and way too small. I don't have narrow feet, and I think if I did these would sag even more ridiculously around the ankles. I typically love La Sportiva shoes, but these were a miss for me.

I love any type of climbing from bouldewing to trad. I choose my climbing shoes depending on what I'm climbing. When I go bouldering and the business is about precision on granite, the Miura is the shoe I grab. They are my shoes for sending hard. Edges like razor blades, very confortable and precise. My favorite shoes until the TC pro came to the market. I don't use them for wide cracks. But bouldering in the Valley on those sleek footholds and finger cracks Miura is the shoe for it!!!!

This is my eighth pair of muiras. I loved them when I was on a youth climbing team competing and I love them now for climbing outside and training in the gym. They fit my feet perfectly (like fit right to them after the break in period) and I will always recommend them. Without a doubt they are my favorite shoe I have ever worn and I have tried many brands and lines. Personally I perfect the lace up version because of how I can loosen and tighten them.

I bought these for a more comfortable fit over the more downturned shoes (ie kataki, solutions) for long sport climbs and multi pitch. After years of aggressive shoes, I am quite suprised with how well these shoes perform on tiny foot holds and overhangs. The addition of fabric at the heel is a nice touch.
