The New La Sportiva Otaki is a climbing shoe aimed primarily at boulders and sport climbers with an emphasis on power through the toes and stability at the heel. While similar to a slipper in shape and with an equally snug fit, the Otaki also forces the foot forward in the shoe by the use of two Velcro straps as closure. This feature helps the climber to more easily put power through the toe of the shoe when baring down on small holds. The most innovative part of the Otaki is actually at the other end of the shoe where La Sportiva's new S-heel system has been employed. This novel feature uses a very firm rubber on the inside edge of the heel which resists being deformed under torsion meaning that the Otaki is ideal for heel hooking.

Has anyone climbed in these? Wondering what the feel and size is like compared to the solutions! Thanks for any beta you can offer!

[@chrism5646]

Just purchased these the other day. Have only lead a few routes in them, but absolutely loved the feel of them. I did end up going down a half size compared to my last pair, and also compared the Katana's I was going to get. I am glad I did as they seem to fit better. Very solid shoe. Love the fit and feel. They did feel as though they'd be uncomfortable when I first wore them on the outer portion....but as soon as I started to climb this did not bother me. Climbing sport, 5 10s, male, 165 lbs and 5 ' 11" . Can give better opinion in few weeks :)
