La Sportiva HyperEZ Men's Climbing Shoes

A first-of-its-kind for climbing, the HyperEZ shoe is designed with and for new climbers to eliminate foot pain and prioritise comfort while learning.

Mesh and Microfibre Upper

The upper of the HyperEZ has been crafted with a lightweight structural mesh upper with a microfibre forefoot that wraps your foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric encourage cool air to circulate while releasing built-up heat, for the perfect climate for your feet to thrive so you can focus and learn to climb. A revolutionary new last with generous volume in key pressure zones prioritises comfort and versatility, providing control and responsiveness without pinching. This intuitive fit helps you to learn the skills to make your first sends. La Sportiva added a padded collar for climbing and walking to enhance comfort, while the rubber heel cup provides extra stability and grip during heel hooks. The shoe's upper features dual crossed straps (inspired by the legendary Katana) that allow quick closure and full adjustability. The innovative single-strap closure system makes the shoe quick and easy to put on while ensuring a secure fit adaptable to different foot shapes.

EVA Midsole and Frixion White Outsole

The midsole of these climbing shoes has been created using a super-critical nitrogen-infused EVA foam. This delivers comfort and a plush underfoot feel, with superior shock absorption that keeps each step as comfortable as the last. The EVA midsole features SenseGrip technology; the foam compresses under pressure, improving grip and boosting confidence on footholds. The FriXion White outsole compound offers outstanding grip and traction across a wide range of climbing surfaces, with 2mm in the heel and 4mm in the toe. FriXion White is La Sportiva's stickiest, grippiest outsole compound, long-lasting and reliable for keeping you ready to tackle every hurdle. The rubber compound is non-marking, letting you use the shoes on multiple surfaces without damage. If the sole is damaged or worn down, it can be resoled, getting you back to climbing in no time.
