The Zenit is a super comfortable and breathable all-around climbing shoe for the climber looking for a beginner performance shoe that can still do it all.
The La Sportiva Zenit brings the comfort of the Tarantula and the performance of the Katana creating the perfect shoe for pushing the grade once you've started to get to grips with fiddly hand and footholds. The Zenit has an unlined leather insole and a sock-like knit fabric upper which keeps your foot comfortable and sweat-free whether you're in the gym or on the crag.
The Zenit climbing shoe has a symmetric last and flat profile with a pointed toe for advanced performance without sacrificing comfort. The aggressive rubber heel rand maintains tension in the shoe as you stand in micro edges with the XS Grip rubber that sticks to tiny edges and smears. The opposing dual velcro straps lock your foot in position adding support for entry to mid-level climbers.
This is a great shoe for gym climbers and outdoor climbers that need a one-quiver shoe that does it all.
