Don’t fret there is light at the end of the tunnel. The break in period can be rough, requiring them to be taken on and off after every climb. When sized aggressively, the Katanas are not for the faint of heart. Adding in the quality and craftsmanship you would expect from La Sportiva, you can begin to understand why the Katana is the shoe of choice for many climbers looking to step up their game. This shoe performs at it’s best on all types of rock from small limestone pockets to sandstone edges and granite cracks, making it the perfect weekend warrior companion. Though they can sometimes be hard to find in store, many who choose the Katana lace ups swear by them like a trusty climbing partner (me being one of those people). The Katana Lace and its velcro counterpart have long been a staple of the La Sportiva line up. The break in period can be painful if fitted tightly, but you’ll be rewarded with a shoe that won’t miss a beat with its aggressive glove-like fit. Incorporating the P3 System technology (as seen on other La Sportiva models) and an easy to adjust lacing system, precision is the name of the game. Though not for the faint of heart, this shoe is a high performing machine that will get you up that steep overhanging sport route, a mutlipitch crack adventure or those technical vertical faces. The Katana has been my go-to crag shoe for serveral years now and is more than capable of taking on any project I throw at it. Advertised as an all-around workhorse, the Katana Lace from La Sportiva will not disappoint.
