Shoe of the month - the La Sportiva Genius

October's shoe of the month - just £110.50 (RRP £130)

Say hello to No-Edge technology

The latest in La Sportiva’s ground-breaking “No-Edge” technology range, the Genius is the most versatile no edge shoe La Sportiva have made to date, fitting a broader range of foot shapes due to the highly adjustable lacing system.

Instead of a normal 90 degree edge around the sole, which wears slowly over time, the no edge shoes start off perfectly rounded and give a more consistent feel over time. The theory is that edgeless shoes are less likely to suddenly fail when smearing on a small edge, as the pressure exerted by the shoe is more uniform and consistent. It also means you can be slightly less accurate with your foot placements as nearby positions give you the same grip, as well as giving more constant grip as you change your position through a move.

Fans say that it takes a little getting used to using your edges in a different way, but is an awesome weapon to have in the climbing arsenal.

Get it in the BB Shop during the month of October for just £110.50 - that's 15% off the normal price!
