La Sportiva Mandala climbing shoes - chalk size: 37

An aggressive bouldering and sport climbing shoe, the La Sportiva Mandala drives power to the big toe for precision on steep terrain. Its high asymmetry and aggressive downturn excel on overhanging routes and gym problems, delivering exceptional grip and sensitivity through the Vibram® XS Grip2™ outsole and P3 System™ downturn.

Advantages

The single hook-and-loop strap ensures a secure, personalized fit, while the unlined microfiber upper offers minimal stretch for consistent performance.
