La Sportiva Genius

It uniquely combines the sensitivity and performance of an "edgeless" construction with the precision and adaptability of the volume of a lace-up shoe. The special construction allows a perfect adaptation to the most varied rock shapes, as a larger contact surface with the footholds is created, while comfort is guaranteed by the lacing system, as the shoe adapts to the foot precisely and envelopingly. These features are complemented by an accentuated load-bearing capacity: the Laspoflex midsole, combined with the patented P3 system, supports the climber's weight even when the shoe is not worn excessively small. This design, together with the lacing system, makes the shoe the ideal companion for any foot shape, whether wide or narrow. Recommended for rock climbing, it can be worn for a long time thanks to its comfort and is also recommended for bouldering due to its extra-grippy heel. Genius is the natural evolution of the climbing species.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

XS grip 2
Excellent grip. The natural evolution of the multiple world champion compound of difficulty climbing. From it it inherits the excellent friction properties XS Grip2 and additionally emphasizes the precision during the climb and shape stability. Recommended for: where friction is preferred. Strengths: Bouldering, difficulty, indoor and outdoor climbing, smooth surfaces, extreme friction situations. Excellent grip in any condition of use.
No Edge
THE NO-EDGE DESIGN STARTS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF 3 BASIC CONCEPTS: SENSIBILITY, HOMOGENIC PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION, ADAPTABILITY.SENSIBILITYDue to the reduced rubber thickness, the No-Edge construction reduces the distance between the foot and the rock, increasing sensitivity on the steps.HOMOGENIC PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONThe absence of the edge allows the foot to exert an even pressure on the inner walls of the climbing shoe.ADAPTABILITYThe absence of edges, the increased sensitivity and the possibility of applying uniform pressure on the surface, allows extreme adaptability of the climbing shoe on the rock and maximizes the contact surface on footholds in any situation.
P3
This patented construction system leaves the arched shape of the climbing shoe unaltered, without compromising original performance and push-power, even after years of hard use.
