The “No-Edge” technology range of climbing shoes, is one of the most important innovations introduced to the climbing world by La Sportiva since the 70s: every bit as important as the first modern climbing shoe, because this innovative technology is able to evolve the concept of moving your feet on the rock.

The No-Edge climbing shoes, Genius, Speedster and Futura, represent a natural, evolutionary, climbing leap forward to a more fluid, soft and instinctive approach, allowing the climber to move very freely over the rock by means of an exceptionally sensitive shoe that is able to adapt to the rock surface.

For many climbers this technology has already brought an immediate sense of freedom since the introduction of Speedster (2010): no more edges! Others have only recently discovered the novelty with Genius and Futura.

Then, there is the story of Caroline Ciavaldini, originally obsessed with spikes, sharp edges and surfaces, but who, thanks to the no-edge climbing shoes, literally changed her lifestyle.

La Sportiva jokingly tells her story with the first episode of the web series dedicated to the “No-Edge” technology where, improvising as actors, we find the two British climbers Caroline Ciavaldini and James Pearson.

Here is how the No-Edge technology has changed their lives.

And La Sportiva choses adopts the new language of viral videos, to tell an extraordinary story while focusing as always on innovation, which has nothing ordinary by definition.

La Sportiva: innovation with passion. Enjoy.
