The difference between modern and traditional climbing is extravagant. What used to be all about finding ways up the summit turned into finding the hardest way up the summit. It's no doubt that modern first ascents were once deemed impossible by previous generations, and the youngest climbers continue to shock and amaze by gripping imaginary holds and pulling through. The La Sportiva Men's Maverink Climbing Shoe assists adolescents and teenagers by helping them train in the gym, push grades, and climb with the utmost power. Its aggressive, asymmetric profile performs best on overhangs, and No Edge technology gives more surface contact to grip the most micro footholds ever conceived. La Sportiva equipped the Maverink with P3 technology to ensure a proper downturn throughout the life of this shoe, and the unlined leather upper stretches as the feet of adolescents continue to grow so as not to cause any problems in the future.
