Description

<p>Familiar performance in a new look: La Sportiva has given its Python climbing shoe a fresh look, but has not touched the functionality of the shoe - it remains a super-precise slip on shoe with a Velcro for a good fit even when hooking. The rubber is particularly grippy and won't come loose, and a rubberized zone on the upper side of the shoe provides support for toe hooks.</p><p>Easy to slip into, very sensitive and soft, but with strong pre-tension, asymmetrical lasts and downturn: this is why the Python cuts a magnificent figure during ambitious indoor training, difficult bouldering or competition climbing.</p>
