La Sportiva Mantra

Mantra is an ultralight climbing shoe designed for indoor use . The shoe is aimed at intermediate to high level climbers looking for maximum grip and versatility on all types of holds, both lead and boulder, whether on overhanging walls or very small footholds. The shoe allows extremely natural moves for a harmonious and responsive climbing. The upper is not structured and the thickness of the rubber edges has been reduced to a minimum to allow maximum sensitivity and proximity to the ground. The internal volume allows the toes to move comfortably both up and down for maximum gripping (with the toes ?) Combines no-edge construction with D-Tech™ technology (Dynamic Technology): the sole wraps the shoe laterally to make the lateral edges disappear, ensuring dynamic stepping and adaptability to the shapes of the most advanced indoor grips. The Vibram® XS Grip2 compound allows maximum grip on any type of surface. Mantra: vertical perception.

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.
D-TECH™
The sole wraps the shoe laterally for a total absence of side edges and for a perfect dynamic support and stroking ability at the most advanced inside grip shapes. Reduced volume of the heel maximum allows precision at the heel hooks.
