I’ve been climbing in my Miuras for about 3 months and they have been outstanding for indoor and outdoor top-roping as well as bouldering. They stick well on slick quartzite and smear effectively despite their stiff sole and moderate aggressiveness. The toebox is unmatched in terms of precision and power in my opinion. My only complaint is the fit of the heel, which is a little baggy after breaking them in (I have relatively low volume heels). This hasn’t caused any real issues, even on big heel hooks and steep climbs, but it does not feel as secure as some other shoes have. Overall I recommend these shoes and would consider another pair down the road even though the fit is not quite perfect.

My last 7 pairs of climbing shoes have been the La Sportive Miuras. After trying different models and brands for years prior, I finally found a shoe that had the precision edging that I wanted, while being a solid all-around shoe for bouldering, sport climbing, and trad (I wear mine ~2 sizes down and take them off every few pitches at the belay). These are still faithful to the original in terms of fit and precision. Velcro is sticky. I also prefer lace-ups as I can dial the tightness a bit and sometimes warm up with them unlaced if bouldering in the gym. Moosejaw delivered quickly and promptly.

This is my second pair of these after having had the original lace-ups 20 years ago. They are an excellent face climbing shoe, they do well bouldering and they climb cracks respectably well. The only weak spots are the outside edge is a little weak, so if you climb hard trad, particularly old school dihedral routes, occasionally you wish for a little more edge along your pinky toe. That and the fact that they are stiff enough that they take quite a bit of breaking in before they can toe-in or “paw” really well on overhung routes. These are nitpicks though. Overall they are a Jack of all trades and they do most things well, and do edging exceptionally well. They have been my go-to shoe for a long time.

For me, these fit like a glove and boost my confidence. Had the evolv supra's before these and the stats are similarly stiff except these have a soft midsole (don't be confused by the full rubber bottom) which I believe makes these more comfortable and has some technical benefits. The (more) asymmetrical toe on these offer the ability to finely choose where to go. This is the hugest difference for me and I'm still trying to wear out those old shoes but if there are pockets to put a toe in, or those tiny "bad" food chips, these will boost confidence. Great heel hooks as well. I wear a 8.5 or 9 in street shoes, got size 41. I have to really pull them on but there have been times where I believe I need next size smaller next time because I've felt enough space ahead of ... MoreFor me, these fit like a glove and boost my confidence.

Oh and these are def yellow, not lime.
This is a fantastic shoe when the foot holds get small. I don't think I've ever had a pair of shoes that can edge as well as these. Would be five stars all day long, however, the front velcro strap has almost torn in half completely after only 5-10 climbing sessions. La Sportiva customer service told me this is normal wear and tear and there is nothing they could do for me. I've climbed in plenty of other models for much much longer and have never witnessed a strap get worn down this much. I thought it may have just been a bad/faulty pair but according to LA Sportiva customer service this is normal (or they are too cheap to admit their mistake)... either way not super happy with my purchase.
This is my second pair of Miura VS shoes. I purchased the second pair so I can send my first pair in for a resole, and cycle through a few resoles between the two pairs.They climb well on steep and overhanging angles. I don't climb many roofs so I can't comment thoughtfully on intensive heel and toe hooking.The shoes edge well and I can stand on small nubbins. I don't think the shoes would do well smearing because of the P3 platform - but haven't tested them on outside slab/friction routes.Some La Sportiva shoes are narrow and hurt my ring toe, but the shape of the Miura VS don't do this - the fit is still nice and snug on my toes.
This shoe lives on edges and in pockets. I use it for both bouldering and sport climbing. For my own experience and talking to others it really does seem like this is the best all-around climbing shoe you'll find, living up to it's billing as a 'quiver-of-one.'It takes slightly longer to break in than most other climbing shoes. I'd say after about six climbing sessions and you're well on your way though. After that expect to wear them about an hour before you have to take them off between climbs, if you're not already doing that.The biggest strength of this shoe is its edging capabilities. You'll feel and trust your feet on the wall. The only (slight) downside is that is doesn't heel hook as great as I would like it to. Maybe if I downsized a half-size more it ... MoreThis shoe lives on edges and in pockets. I use it for both bouldering and sport climbing.

Maybe if I downsized a half-size more it would feel a more secure in its heel hooking, but the trade-off in comfort doesn't seem worth it, and really it's pretty decent in this field. It's just not winning any awards here.For sizing, I went down 1 size from my street shoe (size US 9 to EU 41). That's been a great fit. For comparison, I wear a size 40 in LS Mythos and and a 41 in Scarpa Vapor V.
I have had the same pair of Miuras for over 5 years (have resoled them twice), and when I put them on it feels like the shape of my foot has been imprinted on them. I pretty much only do indoor bouldering, regularly climb v6, and have found these serviceable in pretty much any situation. Like Shamans, the Miuras are a stiff shoe, so they will edge better on tiny footholds but won't smear or walk on volumes as well as the softer competition-style shoes like the Solutions, Dragos, or Zenists. That said, I find them perfectly suitable for smearing.My street shoe size is 9.5 men's US / 42.5 EU and my Miuras are size 42. They are incredibly tight, painful until I get warmed up in them, and if I bought another pair I'd consider getting 42.5. I have wide feet.Like most ... MoreI have had the same pair of Miuras for over 5 years (have resoled them twice), and when I put them on it feels like the shape of my foot has been imprinted on them.

So comfy for wide feet. Stiff for edging yet still flexible enough for smearing. After trying a few times indoors on easy to moderate top rope and sport routes though, I think I will save these for outdoor only since they are on the stiffer side and not as sensitive on higher surface area footholds. I previously wore a pair of evolv Shakras which are a super flexible shoe and that’s what I’m more used to. I also previously bought a pair of lace up miuras because they were on sale at the gym, and the sizing is hugely different- the lace ups are extremely tight fitting, whereas the Velcro version is extremely comfortable, so just a heads up on that. Barely had to break these in- got a size 35.5 and my street size is 37. Makes me wonder if I should’ve actually gone ... MoreSo comfy for wide feet.

Overall seems like an amazing shoe but I’m planning to get a more flexible shoe for indoor training.
After struggling for a while to find a shoe that fits right, I stumbled upon these bad boys and love them. The only downside is the lack of toe hooking rubber. Luckily for me I'm not much of a toe hooker. My street shoe is 46 Eu and my Miuras are 44.5 Eu. Felt pretty painful at first and got some blisters on my toes. Had to take them off in between climbs to avoid extra pain for the first couple sessions. Now they are still pretty tight (which is good) but not very painful and fit like a glove.
