Product Details
Description:
Creep along small footholds with the stealth of a spider in La Sportiva's aggressively down-turned Muira rock shoe. Grip rock faces with Vibram XS Grip rubber while the asymmetrical toe box and slingshot heel band work in concert to place your weight over your big toe for edging power.

Features:

  • Edge small crevices and pockets in 4 mm Vibram XS Grip rubber while a Powerhinge and dynamic slingshot heel band focus your energy at the toe box for superior sensitivity
  • Get an inside edge sweet spot with the offset, asymmetrical toe box that puts power at the big toe
  • While you get superior climbing ability, get enhanced comfort when you cinch up the 8-panel Dentex-lined leather uppers' speed lacing system
  • Your arches are supported by the light, thin, yet torsionally rigid fiber-laminate Laspoflex midsole

Specifications:

  • Upper: leather
  • Lined: yes
  • Outsole: Vibram XS Grip rubber

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

My Muiras are my only sport climbing specific shoe, and I've had them resoled several times. They remain my most technical, aggressive shoes, and I strongly doubt I need anything else. They are precise, just a little bit soft so they smear well, and incredibly comfortable. They even jam reasonably comfortably without sacrificing much face climbing ability.

The only complaint I've heard is that the stock laces break if looked at in the wrong light. Expect to replace the laces early and often. Also, I've heard the heel is uncomfortable for some, but I'm one of the lucky few for which the heel fits perfectly. Definitely try these on before you buy them.

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

I've been climbing in these for about 6 months. They're my second pair of Sportivas, after the Venoms, and unlike the Venoms, these feel amazing on my feet. My street shoe is a 44.5, I bought these in a 42. They're extremely comfortable and have no dead space, though sometimes I wish I had gone 41.5 so that I could get a bit more toe curl. The heel hooks are phenomenal. The shoes aren't as good as my Venoms at steep climbing, though. However, whereas the Venoms felt like they would break my toes every time I shoved them in a crack, these feel perfectly at home running up a trad line. Bottom line: great for every imaginable climbing situation, except roofs, where they're *only* pretty good.

Miura is extreme edging shoes.
I use Miura for vertical.

If you buy Miura for the first time, I recommend the confirmation of the size.

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

These shoes are expensive but worth it if the money isn't an issue. The edging ability is outstanding. The shoe stretches like most la sportiva shoes so make sure you buy a tight fit so when it stretches it will be right. I use them for bouldering and vertical and they have improved my climbing in both aspects.

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

Great shoe, you must try it on first to see if it works for you, but this shoe leaves me with no deadspace and fit exceptionally well, i dont like sportiva rubber as much as 5.10 but it lasts longer, ill resole with 5.10. i have climbed long trad in these shoes, 20 pitches in the black canyon, so if you complain about them hurting they are too tight or your a &^%$$. Caldwell did it and so did i. you can do anything with these shoes, almost, if you want a dedicated crack shoe go with the meathos, otherwise this is good for everything.

The only shoe for me
By EddieVerified Buyer from Oakland, CA on 9/20/2006
Comfort:
Supple
Sizing:
Fit full size too small
Width:
Fit true to width
Pros:
Lightweight
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Climbing Gym, Trad Climbing

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

I've tried on countless climbing shoes in the past few years but I've never found any that can stand up to the Muira. Maybe it's just the way they fit my feet, but whether I'm trad climbing in the mountains or bouldering in the gym they work great.

Find your edge

Sizing:
Fit true to size

Fit true to width
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Climbing Gym, Extreme Conditions

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

Sliding off pinner footholds? Can't seem to stick to something you know you should be able to? Slide these bad boys on and forget about it. The difference was instantaneously noticable. Believe the hype. Just don't stray to far from you actual size. If you wear a 44 approach shoe, get a 44 climbing shoe. These are tight by design.

My favorite performance shoe
By Lextalion from Las Vegas, NV & Sonoma, CA on 3/29/2006
Pros:
Breathes well, Comfortable, Good grip
Best Uses:
Bouldering, Crack climbing, Hard Trad Climbing, Offwidth climbing

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

Haven't had them a long time but I just put the shoes through the wringer this last weekend.

Climbing offwidth and crack around 5.7 -5.10b range. Also did a bit of bouldering to which I never wondered if my footplacement was going to fail. I stood on things that I've never been able to capitalizes on with any other
shoes I've ever used.

It is no wonder why it is a popular performance shoe. It is well thought out and performs.

Advice: I understand these are hand made so sizing can be up to a 1/2 size smaller than a standard european size. Also larger sizes can be be harder to get in my experience.

A solid shoe
By Weekend ClimberVerified Reviewer from Los Altos, CA on 1/11/2006
Pros:
Breathes well, Good grip
Cons:
Too rigid
Best Uses:
Bouldering

Comments about La Sportiva Miura Rock Shoe - Men's:

I bought this shoe a while ago and have used it for bouldering. It's a little rigid for me, but I wonder if that's just because I haven't broken it in enough. The grip is great, and the shoe breathes pretty well. The sizes for La Sportiva run a little smaller than other brands, so make sure you get the right fit.
