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.

Great shoe with a new feel
2 years ago
I climb almost exclusively in LaSportiva shoes. Katanas are my go to for everyday, Mythos for easy multi-pitch, and I have older pairs of Muira lace-ups and velcro VS for harder/steeper routes. I was super excited to try the new VS model. I'm not going to repeat in any more detail what everyone knows about Muiras; they edge like crazy, and the downturned shape and sticky rubber helps you "grab" holds with your toes, but probably not your first choice for cracks. If you climb reasonably hard, you won't be disappointed. I do, however, want to compare the new model with the old. At least my take. First off, they look totally badass. I like the new color scheme a lot! More importantly, I was really pleased how much more comfortable the new version is *for me*. I had tried really hard to like the Muira lace ups, but basically couldn't wear them they hurt so much (why do I still have them?) The velcro VS model was better, but still rubbed annoyingly on the top of my toes-even after months of climbing with them. The new pair was a much better fit, right out of the box. They are still very snug, but not only does the toe box not press down on my toe knuckles, but the arch fits perfectly. Right up against my foot, without gaps. I compared the models (see photos) and as far as I can tell the height/angle of the point of the shoe is at a different angle, and is higher. The arch also seems "deeper." I measured the total length, and while all my shoes are 37.5's, the new model is 1/8-1/4" longer than my old pair. These tweaks may not seem like a lot, but the differences are game-changing for me. The rubber is also softer on the women's version (to compensate for generally less body weight,) so maybe some of the comfort is also due to a bit less stiffness. So, if you want a great looking, high performance shoe-even if you haven't loved the feel of previous models. Give these a try!

Grippy, aggressive, great
2 years ago
These shoes are easy to love - I've been a loyal Miura fan for a long time and was delighted with the updated narrower heel on what I already thought was the perfect shoe. I prefer the velcro over the laced version because I feel like it gives a better fit for me. So far I've taken these indoors and outdoor (sport, haven't taken this particular pair on trad yet) on sandstone, quartzite, and basalt in good weather and some rain sprinkles finishing up a climb. The grip has been is great on all of these surfaces so far and the material feels very durable. Obviously breaking them in they're tight but the are already starting to loosen up. Past versions have been my go-to for a shoe that can do it all.

Try on in-store; Not the same as old models
2 years ago
I LOVE Miuras; these are my fourth pair. Unfortunately for me, I don't feel the updated version (the white/black) are as good as the old version (blue/black). Summary: Sizing is larger/longer than old model and the width of the shoe feels more narrow than old model. Heel box remains a good fit for an average female foot. 3/5 stars = nice shoes, would recommend you try but they aren't for me. Try on in store so you can try multiple sizes and different brands of climbing shoes! For full transparency, these are a full size larger than my old shoes (37 --> 38) because feet apparently get bigger after pregnancy but I wear a 38 2/3 in street shoes. The difference in fit is quite apparent even taking into account the difference in size. In one of the pictures, I show where the edge of my toe is in the 38 compared to the 37 where my toes are snug in the toe box. It feels like a really big difference in size especially for aggressive technical shoes where you want a snug but comfortable fit. Another thing I noticed is the width at the ball of the foot is more narrow in the new model. I still have Very Average feet and I know the shoes aren't stretched out yet, but I'd still have to return even if the toes fit comfortably because of how narrow. No noticeable difference regarding the heel fit from old model. Used them on the bouldering wall and indoor sport climbing. Ended up switching to my old shoes both times. Have been indoor/outdoor climbing for over ten years. Preferred technical climbing routes are balance/crimp. I recommend you try them on (because of my fondness for my blue Muiras), but in-store because what is not for me may be the best for you.

Extremely Comfortable and Versatile Shoe
2 years ago
Fantastic shoes for indoor and outdoor climbing! These shoes were the most comfortable climbing shoes out of the box I have ever worn. The rubber is Vibram XS Grip2 which is nice and sticky without being too soft. The shoe has continuous rubber along the bottom making it a somewhat stiff shoe, in the best way. It allows for a lot confidence on small footholds you find on vertical or slab wall. The shoes are also moderately aggressive and has a bit of a downturn to the toe making it ideal for steep climbing as well. The heel feels secure in a heel hook, no issues with slipping as you apply pressure. The shoes have 3 straps which allow you to really dial in the fit. The shoe tends to run big, so make sure you size down. I wear a 7.5 street shoe and didn’t size down because my feet run slightly wide. After wearing the shoe I think one size down is perfect for me. During the first climbing session the buckle for the strap closest to the toe was giving me some issues with pressure on my large toe knuckle but in the following sessions I’ve worn the shoes, they have better molded to my feet and I haven’t had any issues since. The tongue is padded which is super nice for crack climbing. These are an ideal shoe for most climbing situations in my opinion and would be an excellent candidate for multi pitch climbing. The comfort level of the shoe mixed with the ability to taken the on and off and adjust the fit quickly is a winner for me. Overall a high quality shoe and I would highly recommend to any climber.

Great shoe!
2 years ago
This is a great shoe! I've been climbing foe 10 years and have tried tons of shoes. I use these mostly for bouldering, although they'd also be great for sport. The shoe is durable and is stiff (not in a bad way). I ordered a half size down from my street shoe, and they fit well. However, if you have a narrow foot and/or a narrow ankle/heel, these shoes might not fit the best for you. I made all 3 straps as tight as I could, and there was still some gapping in the high ankle strap. That usually happens for me with other velco bouldering shoes. Other than that, great shoe!

Fantastic Shoe For Steep Terrain - Great Edging!
2 years ago
The newly designed La Sportiva Miura VS is a fantastic climbing shoe. The break-in period was a bit painful but once they were broken in, they definitely helped to elevate my climbing - specifically on steep pitches where I wasn't able to grip as easily with my previous shoes. The edging capabilities on this shoe is superior to any other shoe I have tried. I am able to stand on edges that I have never been capable of standing on before. This new version seems to be more flexible than the previous version in the middle of the shoe but still has the right amount of thickness in the forefoot and heel for great edging and heel hooks. The velcro straps are a bit thicker and are easy to tighten and ensure a secure fit and easy to remove. The tongue seems to have a bit more padding adding slightly more comfort. The sole is very sticky and is great for use on very steep pockets. The leather upper will allow the shoe to break in nicely and eventually form to the shape of your foot. Overall, I would say this is a great climbing shoe and I like the upgrades from the previous version. If you are looking for a shoe that is great at edging, this is definitely the shoe for you. It isn't the most comfortable, so don't expect to be walking around all day in them like you would the La Sportiva Mythos, but they are great at what they are made to do - climb on steep terrain. I highly recommend trying them on before you buy them because the sizing might be hard to get right.

Precise and aggressive climbing shoe
2 years ago
La Sportiva’s new Miura V5s are aggressive and precise climbing shoes. I was told to buy a smaller size than my regular shoe, but I’m really glad I didn’t. These are sized exactly right for me (I chose the same size as my street shoes). These shoes are strictly for climbing - not for walking around the climbing gym between routes (which, when climbing inside, can be inconvenient). But when you’re on the wall, the grippy Vibram soles and angle of the shoe work together to provide beautiful precision. I still need to wear them in a bit (as the back of the shoe hits the top of my heel/ankle and can be a bit uncomfortable), but I’m confident the rubber will relax and mold to the shape of my foot. The tongue is slightly padded for comfort and the three velcro straps allow for a snug, confident fit.

Looking to wear these and stay comfy at the crag all day? Wrong shoe for you. Looking to find footholds where there were none before? BINGO. This is the aggressive shoe for you. Indeed, they find the foothold for you. Velcro straps keep foot secure in the shoe and are easy-on/easy-off. Follow La Sportiva recommendation on sizing- order two sizes smaller than your street size and they'll fit like a glove so long as you have your heel properly seated in the shoe and give them a chance to stretch out through a few climbs.

Still a great shoe!
2 years ago
Love the Muiras! I got a whole size down from my street shoe size. Glad they don’t have flowers anymore. I mostly wear them bouldering- I do have to taken them off if I’m walking around much. It aggravates my ankles. Velcro makes it easy though. They do stretch so I would go smaller if you can.

Better than the original
2 years ago
The newest version of the Muiras takes all that you loved from the originals and made it even better. These have fantastic edging capabilities and incredibly sticky rubber which are perfect for slab and vertical/slightly overhanging terrain. The biggest advancement from the originals is the strap design. The straps are beefier with extra material at the buckle area compared to the previous version.
