The’OTAKI by La Sportiva is a climbing shoe for men that doesn't cut corners. In Japanese samurai jargon, Otaki means the oldest single-edged sword, extremely sharp and precise even on small targets.
This model takes that concept to perfection, creating a precise, structured shoe that's suitable for cliff, route and boulder climbing, thanks to features that meet the needs of today's climbers. Its design mixes the benefits ofuniform development of a ballerina with the precision and fit offered by a slip-on with velcro closure. This ensures maximum sensitivity and a precise fit, even when twisted. In fact, the liner follows the footâ€?s movements perfectly, avoiding empty spaces and stiff spots. What's more, the P3 system and the sole construction provide extra support on small cracks and cuts. Similarly, the innovative patented S-Heelâ"¢ heel cup maintains perfect torsional stability , accentuating performance and heel stability .
Here's a shoe for supremely precise climbers!
