TARANTULA JR
- : In Stock
- : LA SPORTIVA
The La Sportiva Tarantula Jr is the climbing shoe built for the smallest climbers who want to get in on the big action. A tried and tested entry-level shoe with a neutral shape, it delivers all-day comfort and reliable performance for kids taking their first steps at the gym.
Comfort and neutral shape
The flat profile and minimal asymmetry help beginner climbers progress at a faster pace without giving up comfort, while the unlined leather upper stretches just enough to mould to the foot with use.
Maximum grip with FriXion® Black
The FriXion® Black rubber compound is ultra sticky, built for maximum performance in indoor climbing, while the 5 mm FriXion® RS outsole delivers reliable traction on both plastic holds and rock.
Simple closure for full independence
The highly adjustable single hook-and-loop closure adapts to different foot types, while the two heel pull-tabs with button let kids take the shoe on and off with full independence.
