A high performance lace-up climbing shoe for edging control and pocket climbing performance.

In the line for over 10 years, the Miura is the perfect tool for performance footwork whether it be on slabs, vertical or overhanging steep rock. The high tensioned Slingshot Rand is tied into the Powerhinge on the sole so that when small edges are weighted the shoe stretches in the back half of the shoe and not in the front. This allows you to stick on the smallest edges you can find or imagine! The multi-paneled lining gives you the perfect fit and the speed lacing system laces up in a cinch.

• Slingshot rand connected to the powerhinge under the shoe to keep you on edges
• Speed lacing system for quick lace-ups
• 8-panel directional lining for channeling stretch
• Ideal terrain: Overhanging sport routes, bouldering, gym climbing and technical face climbing

The patented No-Edge™ concept brings your foot closer to the rock for better edging performance, increased sensitivity and more homogeneous wear. An all-synthetic upper does not stretch out and the Fast Lacing System® cinches down with a hook and loop closure. The P3® platform gives you the downturned power needed for hard boulder problems. The overall feel of the shoe is lightweight, thin and sensitive for high-performance bouldering, sport climbing, technical trad climbing and gym climbing. These are little Ferraris for your feet that give you the ability to feel the texture of the rock climbing surface and stand on the tiniest edges.

• Patented No-Edge™ Technology from the Speedster gives you the maximum edging advantage right out of the box

• P3® technology lets you crank on overhangs

• Fast Lacing System® from the Solution gives you a snug, precise fit
