La Sportiva Kubo Climbing Shoes
The Kubo climbing shoe from La Sportiva is a versatile climbing shoe dedicated to climbing both boulder and lead, ideal for climbers looking for comfort and versatility.
Microfiber and Suede Upper
The La Sportiva Kubo has been built with a microfiber and suede upper, carefully designed to balance structure and flexibility. The upper provides excellent support for challenging climbs, ensuring a snug, glove-like fit. The fabric moulds to the foot, minimising slippage-essential for precision climbing. For enhanced protection, leather has been added to the toe box to guard against impacts and abrasions, keeping your feet safe. Rubber in the heel locks your foot in place. The innovative closure system features two Velcro straps that tighten in opposite directions, delivering exceptional midfoot support and a secure fit. Completing the upper is a toe cap integrated into the toe edge to protect against abrasions.
P3 System Midsole
Engineered using a P3 system, the Kubo leaves the arched shape of the climbing shoe unaltered, without compromising original performance and push-power, even after years of hard use. The permanent power platform is ideal for everyday climbers as it keeps your footwear intact for longer. The midsole is designed to ensure added adaptability so you can tackle any climb with complete confidence.
Vibram XS Edge Outsole
The Kubo shoes are constructed with a Vibram XS Edge outsole to ensure maximum support whether you're climbing outdoors, indoors, or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and maintains its shape in tough conditions. The Vibram XS Edge enhances the grip, delivering outstanding precision, support, and stability for exceptional traction in every condition. Truly robust, the outsole can endure repeated use in hot and cold weather, offering reliable performance in all conditions. The rigid outsole supports you during any climb by adapting to the ground and bearing your weight as you move across various rock types. The superior rigidness of this shoe is balanced by its adaptability and sensitivity, providing an optimal balance of performance and durability.
