La Sportiva - Cobra - Apple Green - Climbing Shoes

• Best for:
  • Indoor climbing
  • Sport climbing
  • Bouldering
  • Speed climbing

Why we love it

The Cobra's genius is in its simplicity. The suede upper wraps the foot like a second skin and the elastic rand keeps everything snug without straps to fiddle with – on and off in seconds between burns. The ultra-thin LaSpoFlex midsole keeps sensitivity dialled so you actually feel what's underfoot, while the seamless toe construction means no pressure points when hooking gets serious.

Features

• Vibram® XS Grip 2: The evolution of the lead and bouldering world championship-winning XS Grip compound – improved grip, outstanding precision, and excellent shape stability. Optimised for pure friction climbing, bouldering, and lead, both indoors and outdoors.
• LaSpoFlex Midsole: An ultra-thin 0.8 mm midsole insert placed only at the toe area — provides just enough edging support without dampening the shoe's hallmark sensitivity and friction performance.
• Seamless toe upper: Single-piece suede construction over the toe box eliminates seam pressure for maximum precision during toe hooks and delicate footwork.
• Elastic rand closure: Forward rubber joined to an elastic rand wraps the foot securely without straps – keeps the fit snug across the session as the shoe moulds to the foot.
• Can be resoled: Bring your shoes to our shop and we will take care of the rest.
