The Katana Lace from La Sportiva is dubbed as being "ideal for multi-purpose use". It's a lightweight, asymmetrical, technical shoe that offers a nice balance between comfort and performance. Being able to fit a wide range of feet, the Katana has been finished off with a 4mm Vibram XS Grip rubber sole which offers excellent friction and resistance to wear, both when smearing and on the smallest of edges.
Overall the Katana is a great shoe that does everything well. It is comfortable enough for all-day use whilst being technical enough for harder climbs. It offers exceptional build quality and a snug and secure lacing system.
