كاتانا لاس

Finally a downturned shoe that doesn't murder my toes on long routes—the lace system lets me dial in the perfect fit for thin cracks and slabby smears alike.

I was skeptical about how comfortable an aggressive downturned shoe could be, but the Katana Lace is surprisingly wearable for full-day cragging. The way it twists into thin cracks feels incredibly natural, and it still performs perfectly on slabby terrain.

I’ve worn these for three straight days of multi-pitch granite and my feet didn’t scream once—the lace system lets me dial in heel tension perfectly. Surprisingly easy to edge on slabs despite the curve, and they twist into finger cracks without fighting me.
