Shop and Buy La Sportiva Testarossa - Mens Climbing Shoes La Sportiva has pushed climbing shoe technology one step further with the Testarossa. Made for the highest performance at any level, the Testarossa climbing shoe's unique last focuses power to the toe box and provides incredible edging and smearing grip. The toe box and heel are constructed with a dynamic fabric for a glove-like fit and the Hytrel nylon midsole provides the perfect balance between power and sensitivity. The tongue is made out of Dri-Lex, a multi zone fabric which transports moisture away from the skin so your feet stay dry, cool, and comfortable. La Sportiva exclusively uses Vibram's XSV sole which is a hard, sticky rubber that's very durable and wears evenly. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY.

Bottom Line: Putting on a pair of Testarossa is like stepping in a Ferrari. Well, metaphorically, at least.

This is a very aggressive shoe, and I love it; I normally wear my climbing shoes 1.5 sizes smaller than my normal shoe size and I backed off to 1 size to small for this shoe because of the shape.

It fits extremely snug, like a glove; I can actually climb up to 5.10 a/b routes leaving them unlaced with no issues; Once I get into high 5.10's and 5.11's I tie them up although I don't have to cinch them tight for them to still hug my feet and give me excellent feel on the rock.

If you are an experienced climber looking for an aggressive shoe then I would recommend giving this shoe a look.
