TARANTULA WOMAN
- : In Stock
- : LA SPORTIVA
The La Sportiva Tarantula Woman is the women's version of the entry-level climbing shoe built for putting on and taking off in a flash, with comfort as its focus. Its unlined leather upper delivers excellent moisture management and stretches just enough to make it a joy to wear session after session, while its slight asymmetry stays sharp enough to perform on steeper routes without sacrificing comfort.
Comfort for wide feet and beginners
The rounded, higher-volume forefoot shape suits climbers who don't want to mangle their feet while learning. Even so, the slight asymmetry stays aggressive enough to perform on steeper moves.
FriXion® RS outsole and LaspoFlex midsole
The 5 mm FriXion® RS outsole, an ultra sticky compound, grips plastic and rock equally well, while the 1.8 mm LaspoFlex midsole, an ultra-lightweight, ultra-thin synthetic fiber-laminate, delivers maximum torsional rigidity for secure footholds.
Adjustable closure and heel pull-tabs
The highly adjustable dual hook-and-loop closure system adapts to various foot types and shapes, while the two heel pull-tabs make it quick and easy to put the shoe on and take it off between climbs.
