The La Sportiva Katana Laces - PFAS Free are a versatile climbing shoe that combines a slightly downturned shape with exceptional comfort, making it a true workhorse across a variety of terrains. Whether you’re balancing delicately on slabs, twisting into thin cracks, or tackling steep single or multi-pitch routes, the Katana Lace delivers high-level performance without sacrificing wearability. Engineered with a medium asymmetry and subtle downturn, it allows you to confidently hook into pockets and stand on the smallest edges. The updated heel design offers increased rubber coverage and a narrower profile, enhancing heel-hooking precision while maintaining the trusted Katana fit. Built with P3® technology, the shoe retains its shape and aggressive profile over time, ensuring lasting performance. The highly breathable tongue and shoe lining help manage moisture during long days on the rock, while the outsole varies between the Men’s and Women’s models to optimally support climbers across different weights and foot shapes. Constructed with eco-conscious materials, including 100% recycled polyester laces and without intentionally added PFAS, the Katana Lace blends cutting-edge technology with environmental responsibility.
