La Sportiva Theory

The Theory is an innovative indoorclimbing shoe from La Sportiva that has been specially developed for the requirements of modern climbing and bouldering. With its maximum sensitivity and dynamics, the shoe adapts perfectly to the shapes of the footholds and volumes of indoorclimbing. Based on an in-depth study of the gripping behavior of gorillas and the sensitivity of cat paws, combined with the latest findings on indoor climbing routes, the Theory offers unique adaptability and performance.
The exclusive D-Tech™ technology (Dynamic Technology) ensures that the sole wraps around the side of the shoe, making the lateral edges disappear and enabling a dynamic approach. The Vibram® XS-Grip2 sole with differentiated thicknesses on the toe maximizes grip on the edges, while the heel with reduced volume ensures precise heel hooks. The rubber toe covers 90% of the front surface of the upper, supporting the toe hook while adapting to different foot shapes.
Thanks to its high adaptability, the Theory makes it easier to exert pressure on the volumes of modern indoorroutes and offers excellent support when cross-kicking. The upper Velcro fastener also enables optimum tension regulation. The Theory by La Sportiva is the perfect choice for climbers who want to develop maximum strength and dexterity without sacrificing sensitivity.
