In April 2019, La Sportiva's Testarossa and Python climbing shoes got a boost to the delight of all high-performance climbers! More comfort and more aggressiveness for a new generation of climbers! The new models have also been re-coloured to minimise the risk of the shoes rubbing off on your feet.
Read more about the updates and check out La Sportiva's own film clip below for more information on what the updates mean for all climbers out there!
The cult shoe Testarossa is back with a new heel design!
The climbing shoe Formula 1 car Testarossa is still the shoe for high performance climbers and is perfectly suited for steep sport climbing and hard bouldering problems. The heel has been updated with a sticky and durable rubber that will help you with your heel hooks. In addition, the new heel construction gives you a more even and stable pressure on the heel.
The shoe is built on La Sportiva's P3 Permanent Power Platform, which allows the shoe to retain its curved shape over time. The sole is covered with Vibram rubber that provides incredible grip and has a shape that gives you very good feel and precision. The midsole is designed to put the foot and toes in a powerful position, extra useful when it's steep. The asymmetrical lacing makes the shoe incredibly adaptable to the user's foot.
And the new design is, if possible, even better looking? Listen to what La Sportiva's Pietro Dal Pra has to say about the update below:
Python - the all-time winning shoe gets more aggressive and more comfortable!
The perfect choice for indoor climbing and competition? The classic Python climbing slipper has been redesigned. In addition to a boost in design, some adjustments have been made that affect performance. The rubber on the upper has been redesigned and is a slightly thinner layer than the previous version and more flexible to the movements of the foot. The volume and fit have also changed and you get further into the shoe and get a shoe that is both more aggressive AND more comfortable to wear. Still just as awesome for toe hooks! But no one says it better than Pietro Dal Pra. Check out the clip here.
