    Sportiva Climbing Shoes
    Sportiva Ghibli

    Hot off the presses for 1998, the Ghibli utilizes a slingshot rand, originally designed for the Kendo, to increase compression in the front of the shoe. We combined this powerful fit with the softness of a slipper (no midsole) to make the Ghibli the the performance sport and competition shoe for the 21st century. Designed to meet the demands of modern sport climbs, it is destined to replace its predecessor as the world's best competition shoe and mimic its Maseratti name-sake.

    Sportiva Mythos
    No other "soft shoe" offers such comfort and performance. There's no myth to the fact that they fit better than a glove and feel more comfortable than a moccasin. Originally designed as a sport shoe, the slip-lasted Mythos has developed a following among those who want to feel the rock. You do the math: (Unlined upper) + (1.75 mm Ibuflex midsole) + (sensitive skin of XSV rubber) = UNPARALLELED TACTILE EXPERIENCE. Whether pulling onto a Rifle sloper, tip-toeing on a razor edge, or jamming a slender desert crack, no shoe outperforms the Mythos.

    Cliff

    A new all around climbing shoe that looks, fits and climbs like an expensive high-performance shoe, the Cliff was designed with versatility in mind. This unlined, low top, slip lasted shoe is built for all around performance whether you are climbing on rock or plastic. It features a high quality suede leather upper with a 1.75mm Ibuflex midsole and 5mm XSV rubber outsole.

    Cobra

    Representing our 9th generation in slipper design, the Cobra is an unlined slipper built on the Miura last. It has a 1.75mm Ibuflex midsole in the forefoot and a downturned toe combining the edging power of the Miura with the sensitivity of a classic slipper. With super sticky XSV rubber, relaxed tension slingshot rand and heavy duty 'Over the Top' elastic for a secure fit, the Cobra is the perfect balance of precision and comfort.

    Enduro

    Beautifully redesigned for 1998, the Enduro is the perfect all-around rock shoe. Easy to fit and comfortable to wear it is the perfect combination of quality, performance and price. An awesome heel fit, and a re-designed 1.75mm Ibuflex midsole to improve resoling, make this classic all around shoe even better for 1998.

    Enduro

    Ever watch a bug climb an overhang? They don't grunt; they pull with all their feet. The Mirage's concave midsole and unique triple curve last allow your toes to work like fingers. No need to cut loose on the steep, or pull hard on the vertical. A tensioned rand pulls underneath the arch, supporting the muscle in the foot and reducing the amount of energy needed for pushing on small holds. Take a hint. Try climbing on all fours.
