The Women's Solution Climbing Shoe is La Sportiva's most popular answer to difficult boulder problems and steep sport routes. Drastically downturned this shoe is one of the best for overhangs scummy heel hooks greasy smears and microscopic edges. La Sportiva's revered P3 Power Platform was first developed specifically for this shoe and it retains the shoe's aggressive downturn for the shoe's life. A shoe this technical deserves its own special rubber compound and it's one of the few out there to feature Vibram's XS Grip2 rubber which is extremely stiff around the toe box and soft supple and thin at the heel and arch. With more flexibility at the heel the Solution bends to your will when you're toeing off-angled footholds and high-stepping the top-out.
