Description

Hook-and-loop closure for easy on/off and to tune in a performance fit. Downturned performance fit for precise placements on small holds and dime-sized edges. La Sportiva suggests downsizing 1-1.5 sizes (performance fit) or 0.5-1 sizes (comfort fit) from your street shoe size. The heel is crafted for stability, with very firm rubber on the inside edge that resists being deformed under torsion so you can set a heel hook and bear down on it. Uppers are leather with microfiber, lined only in the front for a glove-like, sensitive fit. S-Heel construction is designed for stable, confident heel hooking. Slip-lasted construction with 1.1mm P3 (Permanent Power Platform) midsoles. Soles are 4mm Vibram XS Edge. Shaped like a classic slipper, the Otaki is a precision instrument that sings on the sharp end. Uppers are leather with microfiber, lined only in the front for a glove-like, sensitive fit. The Velcro closures are designed to push your foot forward to get power into your toes so you can work small holds and overhanging terrain. Precisely curved and exacting, these shoes suit in-your-face routes and powerful climbing. The heel is crafted for stability, with very firm rubber on the inside edge that resists being deformed under torsion so you can set a heel hook and bear down on it.
