Katana Laces

Review/Jens: La Sportiva has improved and put laces on Katana, their bestseller. The new P3 system maintains the down turned shape unaltered for the life of the shoe. The sole is the same, Vibram® XS Edge 4 mm. This is a new sole since 2009 with improved Durability and Edge Performance. Katana is probably the most sold shoe in the world as it combines Comfort, Durability and Performance. It is a rather stiff and wide shoe with highest performance on small edges which has been improved due to the laces and the down turning even when they are worn out. Normally I say that you always should have one soft shoe for overhangs and a stiff one for verticals. It seems like the new updated Katana lacescis as close you can come for the perfect combination and as most routes both have small edges and overhangs, this might do the trick for you :-) Story about the designing of the new Katana by Pietro Dal Pra.
