La Sportiva athlete Gisely Ferraz breaks down our two newest climbing shoes, the Zenit and the Aragon...

La Sportiva has added two new climbing shoes to the line! This year’s arrivals are here to better accommodate beginners to intermediate climbers.

The Zenit is perfect for entry-level or intermediate climbers. This is a great shoe for moderate routes, intermediate boulders, and works best for endurance sessions at the gym.

• Sticky and durable Vibram® XS Grip™ on the sole provides contact you can trust when precision starts to get crucial.

• Cool injection molded heel provides comfort and no delamination
.
• I love the soft cotton-lined tongue, fabric, and elastic for a perfect fit. This provides breathability and enhanced comfort for my feet. The velcro closure makes it easy to take off, allowing me to wear it day after day without compromising comfort or performance.

The Aragon is designed to be comfortable and flat. If you’re shopping for your first pair of climbing shoes, I strongly suggest you check out this shoe.

• Great shoes for the gym, outdoors, or a long scramble in the mountains. These are the perfect shoes for all-day adventures to keep you moving fast and comfortable.
• Flat shoes, like this, also shine while climbing styles such as easy slab and vertical faces outside. The sole is super sticky and durable.
• The Aragon keeps my foot in a natural position while I am climbing or belaying. I don’t have to always be taking them off.
• My favorite feature of the Aragon is the velcro straps, making it easy to open and close.

The new Zenit and Aragon focus on comfort, precision, and affordability. With product longevity in mind, both of these shoes feature a forefoot half-sole, making them great for resoling, and a great gym shoe to use and abuse.
