Recently bought the Katana Lace; horrifying to wear the first few sessions until they taped their big toes.

The Katana Lace also fits their narrow heel well.
Has really good luck with the Katana Lace for their foot shape.
Katana Laces sized one below approach shoes are perfect for long granite multis: stiff enough on thin edges, jam great, still smear.
Katana Laces are very comfy for their feet and very good all-rounders.
Katana Lace works decently but feels clunkier than Miuras.
Loving the Katana Lace heel, the first that fits them, but dislikes the stiffness and toe hooking.
Katana Laces felt amazing but the P3 rand shredded their heels.
Katana Lace is their favourite: stiff but smears well, does everything really well.
Katana Laces sized larger than their other LS 43s; never felt confident and gave them away.
After TC Pro Achilles pain, uses Katana Laces exclusively and couldn't be happier.
Old Katana Laces developed rips around the ankle sides.
Katana Laces are the only thing that fits their narrow heel.
Katana Lace was an amazing fit for duck feet, a bit hard.
Katana Laces 41 hurt a lot at first and stretched; good for hard multipitch but come off after 2 pitches.
Considers the Katana Lace one of the best multi-pitch shoes; the laces help the fit for long, narrow feet.
Likes the 2022 Katana Lace (women's split-sole): softer but still edges well, stable and comfortable for sport; sized very differently from the old model, and heel hooks are fine when laced tight.
Got the new Katana Lace half a size smaller than their old ones but they fit the same, fine for trad and offwidth; a damn good shoe, though it squeezes wide feet.
Enjoys their new Katana Laces: good performance and comfort.
