From Backcountry.com:
"The La Sportiva Miura VS Climbing Shoe exemplifies a high-performance hook-and-loop closure shoe, and has already garnered an Editor's Choice Award from Climbing Magazine for its edging and pocket grabbing abilities. The Miura VS has amazing edging control and performs well on overhanging terrain thanks to a downturned last and pointed toe. The slingshot rand and power hinge system help the shoe keep its aggressive shape pitch after pitch. From overhanging sandstone to delicate and crimpy limestone face routes, the La Sportiva Miura VS Climbing Shoe's super sticky Vibram XS rubber keeps you glued to the rock as long as your forearms can take it."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Easy on and off convenience makes this sporty, high-end edging and smearing shoe a must for bouldering and technical climbing. La Sportiva pulled key design elements from the Miura and incorporated them into this three strap hook and loop closure system. The one-piece leather upper has a synthetic lining to control stretch and is unlined under the foot to allow for excellent sensitivity on micro edges and smears. The La Sportiva Miura VS is built with the P3® platform for a continued down turn shape which makes it excellent for steep overhangs.

We recommend you fit your trad shoes one to two sizes under your street shoe size. A thick midsole creates a platform on which you stand, while a slip-lasted slipper-type shoe relies on your crammed toes to create an edging platform. Confused about the sizing?

"In short, these are the best shoes I have ever owned. The edging is incredible and like all Sportiva shoes I love the rubber. Basically, put your foot on the rock and as long as you trust your feet like you should, they'll stick.

I have some what of a large, but skinny foot."

"La Sportiva has done it again. This shoe is ultra aggressive, with a firm but comfortable fit. they make a huge difference when i climb tough routes, i can stand on tiny jibs and i don't have to worry about slipping off. It has a really solid heel that i can depend on 100%."

"I'm very critical of shoes, but these are the best out. The edging is sweet and the heal is perfect. On every one of my hardest bouldering sends last fall, I was working on them in my Anazasis, then tried later after I got the Miuras, and got the send."
