La Sportiva Otaki Climbing Shoes are performance footwear specifically designed to be able to cope with the rigours of modern climbing. Otaki is Japanese slang for the oldest single wire sword, extremely sharp and precise on small surfaces which is fitting for a shoe that is as equally supportive as they are performance based.  With new construction methods you can now get the benefits of the snug fit you get with a slipper fit shoe with the versatility of a hook and loop closure. The innovative S-Heel allows for perfect torsion stability giving you performance when in heel locks during bouldering.
