Why We Like The La Sportiva Mantra Climbing Shoe
First introduced over two decades ago, the La Sportiva Mantra Climbing Shoe is back with updated No-Edge technology. The thin construction with a rounded toe is just a step above barefoot, getting us closer to the wall than any other shoe out there, while the lack of a midsole lets our feet move more naturally and mold around volumes and slopers. Backed by Vibram XS Grip2 rubber, this edgeless shoe gives us gecko power to stick to the smallest, slipperiest feet.

Cool and comfortable shoe-
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 40.5
- Height:
- 5' 7"
- Weight:
- 135
I have worn the Scarpa VSR's for a year and wanted to try a softer slipper. The shoe fits my foot pretty well compared to the VSRs. I got a 40.5 but definitely could have gone smaller. I would recommend 2-2.5 sizes smaller from street shoe; 1.5 if you want more comfort.

Long lasting gym shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
These last significantly longer in the gym than my other La Sportiva shoes. They also perform well on a wide variety of holds and angles. Not the best for steep board climbing, but the other factors outweigh this attribute.

la sportiva mantra climbing shoes
the perfect shoe for people who don't like shoes....the barefoot shoe of the climbing world. strong healthy feet are a must though, don't expect any support.
