La Sportiva Katana 40J100999 Yellow/Black

The La Sportiva Katana Yellow/Black is a technical climbing shoe designed for versatile use—from sport and multi-pitch climbing to panel training and bouldering. This model has been one of La Sportiva's most recognizable designs for years, valued for its excellent balance of precision, support, and comfort.

The upper is made from a combination of natural suede leather and microfiber, ensuring durability, a snug fit, and high resistance to intensive use. The forefoot remains partially unlined, enhancing rock feel and precision when working on small steps.

The Katana features a slightly asymmetrical and moderately curved design that allows for efficient power transfer to the forefoot and enhances control during technical climbing. The closure system, featuring two opposing Velcro straps, allows for quick on-off and a precise fit.

Maintaining the shoe's aggressive shape is P3 (Permanent Power Platform) technology, which stabilizes the structure and maintains its technical properties even after prolonged use. The 1.1 mm thick LaSpoFlex midsole provides adequate support when standing on small edges.

The 4mm Vibram XS Edge rubber outsole offers high abrasion resistance and excellent stability on small rock steps. This rubber compound is designed to concentrate body weight on the smallest edges while maintaining durability and performance.

La Sportiva Katana is a model appreciated by climbers looking for versatile shoes offering high precision, durability and comfort during long climbing sessions on the rocks and on the wall.
