The La Sportiva Otaki is a high end, performance climbing shoe with an aggressive edge that excels on overhanging or steep terrain.
Combining precision with support and stability, the La Sportiva Otaki is a great fitting shoe that's been smartly constructed for medium-wide feet. Supporting elements like the S-Heel cup and the P3 System, accentuate heel hook performance and transfer toe power perfectly. The new construction method combines the advantages of the all round snug fit of a slipper to the precision and volume regulation of a Velcro closure shoe andguarantees maximum sensitivity and precision, even in torsion, as the shoe perfectly follows the movements of the climber eliminating empty volumes and rigid zones.
Designed as an all-rounder to perform on all rock types and across all styles of climbing, this is a versatile, performance rock shoe that you'll find excels at technical edging and on vertical overhanging terrain.

La Sportiva Otaki
I'm a 9.5 in regular shoes, a 9 in these feels too tight for a week then settles in to be perfect (I've climbed VS-E1 in them mostly). I love them. I've used them mostly for vertical/ just off vertical slabs. On my E4 project they've held edges of 4-5mm as well as truly desperate 75+° smears & I LOVE this rubber! I don't think the comps would be any better for this terrain & I don't know of any better shoes than la sportiva currently. I bought & tried a pair of 1 of the top model unparalleled shoes on my project & had to go back to the otakis, they were WAY better. Perhaps the higher end shoes are all for more steep/ overhanging terrain, I can't imagine finding anything better than these for what I do.
good shoe, easy to order, fits nicely, everything is good
