I would absolutely recommend these to any reasonably experienced climber looking for a shoe that can do it all. As mentioned before, these were the reviewer’s absolute favourite shoe for several years before moving onto softer, more sensitive models and I still return to them for hard vertical walls or where I need a crucial edge.go to full review

The Cobra is all about cool, functional design and as Sportiva’s primary slipper, it excelles in indoor and all-day use. Frequently seen on hard grit and occasionally on competition style boulder problems, it can hold its own on the technical stuff, but is best suited to slabby, comfortable terrain where its soft moulding allows the user to wear it for long periods of time (as long as the fit is right).go to full review
