La Sportiva 's KATANA W is a women's climbing shoe designed to enable the female climber to achieve maximum performance on all types of surfaces and for every type of practical climbing: from bouldering to long routes, from gyms to crags.

Recommended for narrow soles, this model retains the approved features of the lace-up version but incorporates a 2 velcro tightening system, making it very easy to put on and take off the shoe. The new P3 system is also added to maintain the shape and performance of the liner.
Responsiveand precise, this model features an upper combining calf leather and microfiber to ensure good resistance to the elements. What's more, the leather forefoot is unlined to ensure greater sensitivity and a better grip.

XSEdge technology, developed to ensure maximum support, offers the perfect balance between performance and durability. Designed for versatile use in the mountains, cliffs and boulders, it features a special intersole with a grip zone under the toes that provides maximum support for loads while maintaining the shoe's sensitivity.
