La Sportiva Kataki

The La Sportiva Kataki climbing shoe is a versatile, high performance climbing shoe, designed for steep edging and precise footwork. 

An evolution of the longstanding and popular Katana Lace, the base last of this shoe has been refined to include some of La Sportiva’s recent technological developments, to make for a more sensitive shoe which is more adaptable to both foot shape and terrain.

This versatile lace-up performs similarly to the Otaki, but features a lace closure system for dialling in a 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.
