La Sportiva Theory

The Theory is an indoor climbing shoe designed to perfectly adapt to the shapes of the footholds and volumes of indoor climbing. The maximum sensitivity and high dynamics allow a unique adaptability to the edges, making the shoe perfect for indoor use. The basis of the creation of the Theory is a study by the R&D department of La Sportiva on the gripping behavior of gorillas and the sensitivity of cat paws, combined with the identification of the findings on the new climbing routes in the halls, characterized by very wide volumes and extremely dynamic movements. This shoe has been designed to unleash the maximum power and dexterity while preserving the highest sensitivity on any type of. New construction with exclusive D-Tech™ technology (Dynamic Technology): the sole wraps the shoe laterally to make the lateral edges disappear, ensuring dynamic kicking and adaptability to the shapes of the most advanced indoor grips. The sole in a mixture Vibram® XS-Grip2 with differentiated thicknesses on the toe supports the grip on the edges, while the heel with reduced volume allows maximum precision in the heel hook. The rubber toe covers 90% of the front surface of the shaft to assist in toehook while providing adaptability to different foot shapes. The overall construction of the shoe, thanks to the high adaptability, facilitates the application of pressure on the volume of the modern indoor route setting, as well as the support during cross kicking. The upper Velcro closure allows optimal tension regulation. Theory: climbing-species evolution!
