Designed for indoor and competition performance, the Theory excels at climbing on big volumes because it's amazing at getting maximum rubber contact on holds as it lacks the midsole. No plastic in the shoe, just rubber, allows the shoe to go flat and spread its rubber on big volumes giving you the most amount of friction possible from a climbing shoe. A first of its kind; the side of the shoe has no edge, so when your clamping big volumes with the sides of your feet you will have as much rubber contact as possible. La Sportiva have used their most aggressive last ever on the Theory, the PD 85. The toe is an edge that is great at standing on small micro footholds as well as hooking on steep boulder problems. Theory: climbing-species evolution!
