La Sportiva - Mantra - Chalk

Over 20 years ago in 1999, well ahead of its time; one of the lightest and most sensitive climbing shoes with No-Edge™ technology was developed - that shoe was the Mantra. Now, in 2024, the third iteration of the Mantra is being reintroduced with the latest technological advancements and remains to be one of the lightest and most sensitive shoes in the market and within La Sportiva's line of shoes. Slip your foot in and the performance and comfort will become your new climbing mantra.

Features

• Patented No-Edge™ technology gives you the ultimate rubber-to-foothold contact area for maximum friction on the widest variety of foothold shapes. Compared to a traditionally edged shoe, the rounded toe allows for enhanced sensitivity, precision, and grip as the foot conforms more closely to the irregularities found on footholds.
• Enjoy increased rubber longevity as the toe profile spreads wears more evenly.
• With a deconstructed upper and sole thickness reduced to a minimum, the foot's proximity to rock surfaces is maximized.
• The absence of a midsole allows easy movement of your toes both up and down for total forefoot control and increased grip on large volumes in the gym.
• For modern competition climbing and futuristic maneuvers.
