La Sportiva Stickit

The La Sportiva Stickit kid's climbing shoe does what it says on the tin. Well, actually, a little bit more than that: with a feature in the heel that helps the shoe adapt to kid's growing feet, the Stickit will be able to maintain the same secure fit in every area of the shoe rather than just the front and middle.

Unlike the Gripit by La Sportiva, the Stickit is more of a conventional climbing shoe in design, and so it will have a higher performance for indoor climbing, sport, and bouldering. Like most kid's shoes, the Stickit features an unlined leather upper which will stretch up to a full size, as well as being the most breathable and comfortable of all climbing shoe uppers. It's essentially designed to eliminate all pain and discomfort where possible.

The defining feature of the Stickit, however, is the highly adjustable heel that is tightened with the Fast Lacing System®. Doing up the laces is made really easy for little ones, as all it requires is a pull of the velcro tab, and unlike adult's shoes the lacing system is also attached to the heel so it will fit all varying foot shapes as well as the growth of the foot. The Stickit is quite a soft shoe, but it's also incredibly comfortable.
