The La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoe for men is ideally suited for those who need a durable, supportive, and stiff approach shoe that is suitable for crack climbing and smearing, all without breaking the bank. We don’t recommend this option for climbers who carry their shoes over a long route, will be climbing small cracks and edges, or are looking for shoes to perform in small pockets.
The La Sportiva Miura VS Vibram XS Edge Climbing Shoe is an aggressive shoe that is ideal for various types of climbs due to the edging ability, heel-hooking, stiffness, downturned shape, and sufficient rubber on the heels. The lack of rubber in the toe-box and extreme stiffness may deter crack-climbing specialists, but for a multi-purpose and aggressive-design shoe, this is an outstanding option.
The La Sportiva Katana Lace Vibram XS Edge Climbing Shoe is an ideal option for all-day trad or crack climbing, that performs well in edging, smearing, and slabs as well. This all-around shoe performs well in all categories and is versatile enough to suit the needs of any level climber.
