La Sportiva Kataki

The La Sportiva Kataki is a performance, downturned, lace up climbing shoe, designed to provide sensitivity on steep edging and precise footwork. 

Evolved from the longstanding and popular Katana Lace, the base last of the La Sportiva Kataki has been refined to include some of the La Sportiva Otaki's technological developments. The outcome is a sensitive hybrid climbing shoe which is very adaptable to both foot shape and terrain.

This versatile lace-up performs similarly to the Otaki, but features a lace closure system for that custom fit. Made for steep edging and precise footwork, the Kataki excels at toeing-in on micro-edges while the innovative S-Heel™ construction keeps heel hooks feeling secure.
