product details:
The updated La Sportiva Genius keeps the snug, secure fit of the original, with added durability thanks to a reinforced upper and lacing system. No-Edge Technology™ gives you great sensitivity and smooth foot movement, and the adjustable laces let you dial in the fit. It’s a solid choice for technical single-pitch climbs where precision really counts.
- Patented No-Edge™ technology gives you the ultimate rubber-to-foothold surface contact for maximum friction on the widest variety of foothold shapes. Compared to a traditionally edged shoe, the rounded toe allows for enhanced sensitivity, precision, and grip as the foot conforms more closely to the irregularities found on footholds.
- No-Edge™ provides increased rubber longevity as the toe profile spreads wears more evenly.
- Asymmetrical lacing system ensures maximum precision in adjusting the internal fit.
- Midsole construction system integrated with P3 (permanent power platform) system™ helps maintain the arch shape of the shoe without compromising performance and push-off force, even after prolonged use.
