Description

<p>The Kubo climbing shoes from La Sportiva are a climbing shoe specially designed for indoor use, reminiscent of the popular Katana in terms of fit, but with some special features in the construction.</p><p>As with the Katana, a Vibram XS Edge 4 mm is used here in combination with a 1.1 mm LaSpoFlex midsole in full length. The result is a climbing shoe with great grip, some support and yet plenty of feel even for very small steps. The P3 system, the "Permanent Power Platform", ensures optimal shoe shape retention even over longer periods of time. The Kubo has an unlined upper made of microfibre.</p><p>A special feature of the Kubo: the innovatively shaped heel has been integrated directly into the sole for an even better fit. An integrated protective cap at the toe of the shoe makes the Kubo particularly suitable for re-soling - great if you're looking for a shoe you'll be happy with for a long time.</p>
