La Sportiva Finale Climbing Shoes

A climbing shoe dedicated to those who want to explore the world of climbing. The Finale model is snug-fitting, comfortable and easy to put on. The heel strap tension has been minimised to enhance comfort even after several hours. The all-new Finale embraces La Sportiva's new standards of sustainability with metal-free leather tanning coupled with an increase in recycled components. Furthermore, a re-design of the heel enhances comfort and increased protection.

Constructed using a suede leather upper, the La Sportiva Finale Climbing Shoes ensure the perfect balance of structure and stretch. Designed to provide the right amount of support for uncompromising climbs this upper ensures a glove-like fit. The fabric conforms to the shape of the foot to provide a perfect fit that minimises in-shoe slippage; because a precise fit is necessary when climbing. Added leather in the toe box provides protection from knocks and scrapes ensuring your feet remain protected at all times whilst rubber in the back ensures your heel is always locked in place. A central perforated panel exists to increase ventilation and airflow. The upper allows cool air to circulate within the shoe whilst at the same time allowing hot, muggy air to escape creating a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in. Lastly, the heel strap tension has been reduced to enhance comfort during long sessions.

The midsole of the Finale Climbing Shoes is low in profile to save on weight and increase underfoot feel. The Laspoflex midsole is 1.1mm thick to ensure a level of cushioning which doesn't compromise on sensitivity. The specialised midsole incorporates prehensile in the anterior to increase edging capability and sensitivity so you feel changes underfoot without experiencing discomfort. The midsole is designed to ensure added adaptability so you can tackle any climb with complete confidence.

Developed using a Vibram XS Edge Outsole, the Finale Climbing Shoes ensure maximum support whether you're outdoor, indoor or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and keeps its shape in tough conditions. A truly robust outsole, the XS Edge can endure repeated abuse in hot and cold weather giving you a shoe that can truly perform in all weather conditions. The rigid nature of the outsole supports you during any climb by adapting to the ground below you and bearing your weight as you move from rock type to rock type. The superior rigidness of this shoe is counterbalanced by adaptability and sensitivity. The outsole allows for a more natural feel ensuring you can detect rocks beneath your feet for a barefoot experience. The increase in ground feel allows you to adapt to different terrain so you can ensure hold at all times. The outsole of the Finale Climbing Shoes provides an optimal balance of performance and durability.
