La Sportiva – Tarantula Boulder, Women (2023)

Introduction

An updated version of the ever popular Tarantular. The Tarantular Boulder is aimed at newer climbers who are looking for a shoe specifically aimed at indoor bouldering. Whilst still comfortable and good value for money the Tarantula Boulder has a few of the signature features of a more advanced bouldering shoe such as a split sole for greater flexibility, slightly softer and more sensitive rubber, a more aggressive toe box and a rubber toe patch for toe hooking. This is a versatile shoe that should fit most foot shapes and make a great entry level bouldering shoe or even a comfortable training shoe for more experienced climbers.

The Womens version has all the same features as the Men’s but is perhaps a bit narrower/ lower volume.
