I've been climbing with katanas for 2 years (already resoled 3 times), now I got a pair of the new generation and I'm thrilled:
* The basis is apparently still the robust synthetic fabric with which I have had the best experiences
* the sole has received a minimal downturn.
* The shoe now has a clearer preload with the s-heel.
Previously, I couldn't quite put my finger on what really set the expensive Katana apart from the cheap Tarantulla, other than the better weave. Now I know it for sure: It is a thoroughly high-class all-round shoe - very powerful and yet comfortable.

Only used a few times, but the shoes fit well and are comfortable, without sacrificing performance.

Excellent all around climbing shoe. Order at least 1 size lower than your street size. Good for narrow feet

Nice shoe but very narrow, to small for my normal size feet.

I am not happy with La Sportivan Katana shoes. I bought the pair when the seller praised the durability of the base rubber. The trades were made in the fall so I went inside climbing for a few months, an estimated 25 times, after which I noticed the bottoms had ruptured. After contacting the importer via Varuste.net, the estimate was normal wear and tear. I’ve used Ocun’s shoes a couple of times a week in the past, at best for about two years, without the need for a refill, so I don’t think the climbing style is due to wear. So I can’t recommend those shoes because of the delicate wear of the sole and not because of the quality of La Sportiva customer service. In the future, I will be content with cheaper but better-functioning brands.
