La Sportiva - Tarantula JR - Yellow/Black - Kid's Climbing Shoes

• Best for:
  • Indoor climbing
  • Bouldering

Why we love it

The Tarantula JR is built for kids and teenagers who are serious about climbing – a proper performance shoe scaled for lighter, lower-volume feet. Soft and thin materials keep it flexible and comfortable across long sessions, while the single strap makes it quick and easy to put on and take off independently. The thick FriXion® Black sole is durable enough to handle the repeated sessions that come with a child who gets hooked on climbing fast.
