Had these once before about 10 years ago and really liked them then. New version doesn’t disappoint - excellent shoe for long trad routes. Will buy again!

Very good shoes. The shoes are a bit tight, so going down a full number is not ideal.

Very good shoes. The shoes are a bit tight, so going down a full number is not ideal.
The fit is great for my wide foot. The heel isn't very snug, but otherwise it is a great shoe. Aggressive enough for most face climbing but very good at cracks, too.
Been wearing these for years and must have had at least 8 pairs. Perfect fit, like they have been specially made for me. Not the most technical shoe - not the best for heel hooks - but they’re great on most things, especially thin edges. Have other shoes but I always come back to these. Go to shoe for most climbing.
Replacing my old katanas and couldn't find anywhere which had it in the blue/orange color. Great shoes and great service.
Product arrived relatively fast and in good condition. Thanks trekkinn!Everything they said about downsizing for this model, air pockets at the heel are true.
Purchase and delivery was easy and smooth. Good price with almost any size on stock. Would recomend to everyone!
I've been using Katana for years and have bought another pair recently because simply it's the best for my feet and for my climbing. I've tried many shoes but couldn't find a better one.
cheapest I have been able to find on the internet.shoe wise heel may have some air pockets and this is one of the models that will likely cut into your heel (if you experience that with la sportive shoes)
