product details:

The Katana Lace, despite its downturned 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 which it performs at. The Katana Lace is a veritable edging machine now available in Men’s and Women’s styles.

Revolutionary tubular construction with P3® Technology provides ultimate comfort and performance
• Highly breathable tongue works in conjunction with the shoe lining for moisture management
• Outsole design varies between the Katana Lace Men's (full-length) and the Katana Lace Women's (half-length) to support climbers of all weights and sizes
• Updated heel pattern with increased rubber coverage improves grip while heel hooking
• Narrower heel sole design improves heel hooking precision while maintaining the same known fit and feel

Technical and aesthetic evolution of Katana Laces: a versatile, high performance shoe. The tongue is made of soft and breathable fabric, the lacing system, made of 100% recycled material, allows for optimal volume adjustment. The sole uses the super gripping Vibram® XS Grip2 compound. The P3 system in the midsole allows Katana Laces to keep their shape and characteristics unchanged even after many hours of use. The women version in unisex colors, differs in the construction elements such as the half sole instead of the full sole and is designed for climbers with reduced weight thanks to softer materials and reduced thicknesses capable of flexing more easily, adapting to the roughness of the rock. Codename: versatility.
