From RockCreek:
"The La Sportiva Solution Rock Shoe is a new shoe designed specifically for bouldering. The most innovative part of this bouldering shoe is it P3 (Permanent Power Platform) randing system that works in combination with the base of the foot to spread and maintain tension through time, keeping your shoe tight and performance based as you climb. The upper of the shoe uses the Lock Harness System technology, which hugs the foot from the inside and uses the unique deep heel cups to ensure maximum flexibility when hooking on incuts, and overhangs. Finally the Fast Lacing System has the tongue elasticized which ensures optimal adjustment of the internal volume, keeping your foot in place as you aggressively use it on any problem you set your sights upon."
From Backcountry.com:
"La Sportiva created the uniquely styled Solution Climbing Shoes to give you the advantage on cutting-edge boulder problems. The highly down-turned toe lets you edge on the smallest crystal, and a rubber toe cap hooks solidly for difficult bicycle moves. La Sportiva used their single-pull Fast Closure System lacing to get you in and out of these shoes quickly, so you can attack your project when inspiration strikes. To top it off, a Platform heel wrap helps the La Sportiva Solution Climbing Shoes hold their down-turned shape and let you take full advantage of the ultra-sticky Vibram XS Rubber."
