La Sportiva Ondra Comp Climbing Shoe - Men's Black/Yellow, 43.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Ondra Comp feels like the perfect middle ground between the Theory and the Drago—it’s soft enough to smear on volumes but structured enough to edge on tiny holds. The hinge under the big toe is genius. If you’re serious about gym comps or bouldering on steep terrain, this shoe is going to feel like an extension of your foot.""Engineered for the demands of modern competition and elite bouldering, the La Sportiva Ondra Comp Climbing Shoe combines laser-focused precision with dynamic flexibility. Built with a single-point flex hinge beneath the big toe, this innovative design allows the shoe to smear naturally on volumes and slopers while maintaining structure for edging on micro footholds. Vibram XS Grip2 rubber delivers uncompromising traction on every surface, from slick gym holds to glassy limestone, while the Sense Grip midsole preserves power transfer and sensitivity. The aggressive downturn and wraparound toe rubber give the Ondra Comp exceptional control for hooking and pulling on steep terrain, while a single hook-and-loop strap makes transitions between attempts quick and easy. Whether we’re pushing through modern comp problems or chasing our hardest outdoor sends, this shoe blends support, sensitivity, and precision into one finely tuned package."
