La Sportiva - Tarantula Boulder - Metal/Sunset - Climbing Shoes

• Best for:
  • Bouldering
  • Indoor climbing

Why we love it

The Tarantula Boulder takes the trusted Tarantula platform and reworks it specifically for bouldering movement – heel hooks, toe hooks, and the kind of dynamic, varied climbing that beginner and intermediate climbers spend most of their time on. The dual opposing velcro straps are fast on and off between problems, and the neutral last fits a wide range of foot shapes without demanding a painful break-in. The FriXion® Black half sole keeps sensitivity high and makes resoling straightforward when the rubber eventually wears.

Features

• FriXion® Black: La Sportiva's friction-specialist rubber compound – sticky and sensitive, optimised for grip on volumes, slopers, and textured holds. Half sole construction increases sensitivity and simplifies resoling.
• Updated heel construction: Specifically designed for bouldering movement – increased rubber coverage for grip and adaptability on heel hooks and volumes.
• Integrated rubber toe cap: Built into the rand over the toe box – optimises toe hook performance and increases overall durability at the front of the shoe.
• Dual opposing straps: Two velcro straps running in opposite directions provide a secure, adjustable fit that is quick to put on and take off between problems.
• Can be resoled: Bring your shoes to our shop and we will take care of the rest.
