La Sportiva Pythons

The La Sportiva Pythons are indoor bouldering and route-climbing slippers that also have a place outdoors on steep pockets and edging climbs. They are one of the better slippers on the market—a new take on a classic design. The Python features some modern upgrades such as rubber on top of the toe for toe hooks, and a little out-of-the way Velcro strap to help keep the slipper on the foot. While it performs well on edges, smears, heel hooks and toe hooks, the Python is a bit baggy in the upper and could be better fitting.
