We stock approach shoes from Scarpa, La Sportiva and more at EpicTV Shop!
Flip-flops can only take us so far in climbing! Eventually we're going to need to bushwhack through overgrown trails, scramble over precipitous rock, or just be forced to stand in some pretty horrendously uncomfortable belay spots. Luckily, in 1985, Charles Cole, the founder of Five Ten, decided to put climbing shoe rubber on a pair of trainers, and approach shoes were born. Whether it's lightweight approach shoes for casual walk-ins or heavy-duty pairs for forestry battles, we have a wide range of options to suit your needs.
The EpicTV Shop stocks some of the most well-known climbing shoes, approach shoes, mountaineering boots and clothing in the climbing world. Discover La Sportiva here.
It’s basically impossible to go to a climbing wall and not see some super-strong climbers in La Sportiva shoes these days, and there’s a reason La Sportiva is so popular – they’re amazing! But it’s not just on the wall where La Sportiva comes into its own. Their mountaineering boots, outdoor gear and approach shoes can be spotted on rockfaces and mountains worldwide. Their clothing is the kind of thing people just don’t want to take off, so it works not just as climbing gear but as daily wear too. The company have stuck to their roots, with headquarters in a mountain village in the heart of the Dolomites, where they’re free to innovate new designs and perform research in the biggest playground in Italy. La Sportiva are undoubtedly one of the biggest and most well-respected names in the climbing world, and you’re safe in the knowledge their products will deliver time and time again.
