"One shoe to rule them all! The amazing Cirque Pro approach shoes from La Sportiva® take you to and up the rock with equal fervor. Combination split-grain leather and Lorica® synthetic leather uppers for lasting performance and breathable comfort. Beefy 360° Frixion® rubber rands protect feet and uppers while enhancing smearing and edging in the vertical world. Soft padded ankles and tongues with wicking nylon linings protect feet from lace pressure and absorb excess moisture for quick drying. Patented Mythos to-the-toe lacing design lets you fine-tune the fit and tie the laces as snug or loose as you need to; heel and toe loops aid entry and storage. Removable EVA footbeds add extra cushioning to board-lasted micropore EVA midsoles, delivering all-day cushioned comfort. Flexible 2mm polypropylene midsole supports offer extra stability on rough terrain and extra support while edging. Sticky Frixion® XF/Dot rubber outsoles grab rock tenaciously and offer superb climbing performance on steep routes."

"Took these to the top of the Matterhorn last weekend in Yosemite NP--performed flawlessly! Even when ascending & descending the SW slope in sand & talus the shoes performed better than expected.

I was afraid I'd be stopping frequently and emptying the gravel & sand but that was not the case."

"Here's the truth. I climbed three peaks in these shoes and there is nothing left of them. They started falling apart the first trip and by the third trip they couldn't be worn. All the seams completely blew out.

I tried to return them to La Sportiva and they blew me off."

"These are excellent shoes for mountaineering and hiking over rocks. I can easily climb 5. 6+ in these shoes. About half of the Exum guides in Jackson Hole wear these for Teton climbs and general hiking. The lacing cinches the toe pocket nicely and the even pressure makes this a very comfortable shoe."

"We women don't have much to chose from, but this shoe fits very well! I'm a women's 9, and the men's 7. 5 seems to work. I've been a runner for over a decade and a half, so I'm used to very comfortable shoes. Combine that with having long toes and a wide foot at the toe end makes me hate just about any climbing shoe."

"I bought this shoe to bridge the gap between my old hiking boots and climbing shoes. I do plenty of hiking and a good amount of bouldering and scrambling around on rocks, but didn't feel like spending the money to buy rock climbing shoes AND new boots - so I got these."

"I've owned the shoes for about a month and used them for an ascent of Grand Teton. They served me very well.

They're almost suspiciously comfortable, and feel more like slippers than shoes."

"What an awesome pair of shoes. I wear these for normal street life. They are extremely comfortable. The rubber is perfectly sticky and works great for scrambling and class 3 hiking. I have yet to try them on any class 5 climbs but I feel comfortable enough in them to climb up to 5."
