A benefit to the thin soles is that it makes the shoe lightweight. The thinner sole should still last a long time. Luckily, they both use Vibram rubber which is well known for its durability. It means you can feel the rock more, but it also reduces the durability of the sole. Both of these are pretty thin, but having a thinner sole comes with pros and cons. The thickness is 3.5 mm for women, while it’s 4 mm for the men’s version. Grip2 is especially suited for smearing.Ī less noticeable difference in the soles is thickness. It makes Grip2 better suited for bouldering and sport climbing. Vibram XS Edge is harder than the Grip2, making it better for trad, comfort, and edging. It makes quite a big difference as we’ll see. The women’s version uses Vibram XS Grip2, while the men’s version uses Vibram XS Edge. The most significant difference between the two shoe types is in the soles: they use different types of rubber. You should try both shoes and see which shoes fit best with your foot shape and climbing style. The Men’s and Women’s shoes are very different and favor different styles of climbing. Men’s vs women’s: same same but different It helps improve comfort and performance, compensating somewhat for the loss of precise fitting compared to the Miura lace-ups. Overall, Miura VS’s Pacific is a more comfortable lining. The additional benefit of Dentex is that it absorbs moisture and keeps your feet dry while you climb. On the other hand, Dentex is less effective at preserving aggression than the P3 system.

It has multi-dimensional flexibility, which reduces the stretching of the leather and maintains shoe structure. Dentex in Miura tries to compensate for the lack of the P3 system. The Miura uses Dentex, and the Miura VS uses Pacific. The two versions also have different linings. Luckily, these are easy to replace, but it can be annoying if they give away while you’re in a remote area. They can show signs of wear and tear after about a month of regular use. However, the laces on La Sportiva Miura are not very durable. Lace-ups are also more secure fastenings than Velcro straps. A closer fitting shoe will be more comfortable to wear and have less risk of rubbing. The flip side of the standard Miura is that the laces give you the ability for a tighter and more adaptable fit to your foot.
