La Sportiva’s corporate responsibility mission has been shaped by four generations of the Delladio family that have defined the La Sportiva brand since it’s inception in 1928 in a small mountain village in the Italian Dolomites. We are a small family based company with our own factory employing approximately 150 people. Their CR goals are as follows: Passionately provide the best technical footwear for mountain sports. Protect wild spaces and support environmental stewardship. Reduce the impact of our business on the environment. Create innovative and sustainable products. Effect positive change in working conditions within our supply chain. In the line for over 10 years, the Miura is the perfect tool for performance footwork whether it be on slabs, vertical or overhanging steep rock. The high tensioned slingshot rand is tied into the powerhinge on the sole so that when small edges are weighted the shoe stretches in the back half of the shoe and not in the front. This allows you to stick on the smallest edges you can find or imagine! The multi-paneled lining gives you the perfect fit and the speed lacing system laces up in a cinch.
