Category: Climbing Shoes

The Katana Lace, despite its downturn shape, is a comfortable all-day climbing workhorse that performs well on slabs and can easily twist into thin cracks but excels outside on steep single or multi-pitch routes. The slightly downturned toe and subtle asymmetry ensures you can hook into pockets or exploit the tiniest edges while providing unrivaled comfort for the level that it performs at. The Katana Lace is a veritable edging machine now available in Men’s and Women’s styles.

Andrew U. ★★★★★

The downturn is aggressive enough for steep routes, yet I can wear them all day at the crag without my feet screaming. They edged surprisingly well on small holds during a slab session last weekend.

Lily ★★★★★

I've been climbing in these for three weeks now and the downturn feels aggressive but not punishing—I can actually wear them on multi-pitch without wanting to cry. The way they twist into thin cracks is incredible for a shoe this precise on edges.

Carter Z. ★★★★★

Finally got a pair for technical granite slabs and they did not disappoint—the downturn gave me precise edging while still feeling flexible enough for smearing on low-angle holds. Love how they twist into thin cracks without killing my feet on a full day out.
