Product Description
The LaSportiva Tarantulace is an unlined leather climbing shoe with an asymmetric shape for advanced performance. The RN45 last is provides great performance but is still comfortable for all-day wear. The synthetic leather overlay lacing harness adds great support for beginner to mid-level climbers and the unlined leather is comfortable and soft. The aggressive rubber heel rand lets you stand in micro-edges and the FriXion RS rubber is hard wearing yet sticky for long life. This is a great shoe for gym or outdoor climbers who need one shoe to do it all.Midsole: 1.8mm LaspoFlex.Sole: 5mm FriXion RS.Weight: 9.3oz (260g).LA SPORTIVA Tarantula Climbing Shoes 44 Review
These climbing shoes run pretty normal compared to other brands, but they will not accomodate wide feet without your foot spilling out over the sides of the rubber last. Because there is a lot of leather, they will stretch out about a size or so in width across the toe box, but the grey "zig zag" area on the sides is synthetic, so it will not widen there (where feet usually are wide).These are usually recommended for wide feet, but the upper really doesn't have enough fabric for them even when laced wide open. For the same price you can get a pair of Scarpa Helix shoes that have enough leather in the upper to fit extra wide feet without gaping wide open, and the whole Helix upper is fully leather so it will conform better to the width over time than these Tarantulace shoes.
The feel of both pairs was almost identical on the toe and heel, with a size 13 street shoe fitting properly into a 12.5 (or 46.5 euro).
Average toe for beginners and intermediate climbers: not super agressive, but still comfortable enough to stand in while belaying.
