The Theory is a climbing shoe evolved towards indoor and competition climbing, ultra soft and extremely sensitive.

Adjustment

The Theory is really a shoe designed under the concept of "ballerina" with a large elastic instep to which La Sportiva has added a velcro closure to further tighten the shoe to the shape of the foot and prevent it from slipping off. very demanding movements.
It has a tubular construction medium last more similar to the Python to the wider last of the Skwama model, which adapts very well to the foot. Its heel , with a slightly harder central rib and very, very soft sides, also fits perfectly, giving the foot a feeling of support at the highest level, and offering great performance on flat surfaces with excellent sensitivity.

Sole

The Theory mounts a Vibram XSGrip II rubber with different thicknesses to provide more sensitivity to the shoe where it is needed. The toecap is where this model has the most rubber, reducing on the outer side edge.
Little to add to the performance of this compound. One of the most used in high-level climbing shoes where adherence prevails over other factors.

Toecap

Climbing shoes designed primarily for climbing walls or competition generally offer a more rounded toe to achieve greater contact surface and increase friction. In this case, the Theory has a sharper toe cap to improve its performance in front supports and to convince climbers who want to use it also on rock, where it will end up being essential if crashes or roof climbing are your thing.

Materials

The Theory is made of microfiber, which provides 1 main quality to this shoe: Greater resistance to yielding, although like all climbing shoes it will always end up yielding at least half a size
It does not have an inner lining, as it could not be otherwise in a shoe that seeks maximum sensitivity.

Applications

This model of climbing shoes will give maximum performance on resin, where its sensitivity and reactivity will delight those who love to climb in volumes and colored holds, although those climbers who prefer to climb with soft climbing shoes will be captivated by its qualities also in rock.
