As everyone has said: Great shoes! I like wearing mine for easier sport routes that aren't very overhanging and for trad routes. I have them sized pretty tight, so they aren't sized well for all day trad, but they are what I have for use at the moment. They fit my skinny feet really well and my toes curl up nicely with the extra room in the front of the shoes. They jam well in cracks, but after a while my feet get sore, obviously. However, for whatever pain I feel while jamming, the smearing and edging more than make up for. I have more trust in my feet with these those on the smallest edges. I have had two pairs and have had both resoled once and the shoes look and feel brand new except for a little color change and one pair of broken laces. I would recommend these shoes for anyone!

Miuras are my daily workhorse of a shoe. The shape of the shoe fits my foot well, and tends to do well on most terrain I climb. Stabbing pockets, greasing up a glassy slab, or cranking through steep jugs all can be done in these shoes. That being said, they are nothing more than an all around shoe. They lose the downturn they start with quickly, and stretch to a (moderately) comfortable fit. They are relatively precise in the toe, but they don't engage the foot as newer shoes seem to. They aren't super sensitive, nor are they very stiff. They are durable, and reasonably technical.

If I was only going to take one pair of shoes on a trip, it would certainly be my Miuras. This is certainly not my first pair, nor will it be my last. Highly recommended whether you have one pair of shoes or a whole stable.

I can't say enough about these shoes. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after slipping into them and lacing them up, I don't want to take them off my feet. The laces snug up around my foot like a nice fitting glove. My toes curl perfectly into the toe box and crank down on small edges like no other other shoe I've owned. The durability is fantastic, I can wear these all day without taking them off, and they perform well on all types of terrain.
It's nice to climb in a shoe that gives you confidence. I've always worn 5.10 shoes and have been very trusting of the C4 rubber so it took me a little bit of time to adjust to new rubber. To my pleasure, I've discovered these shoes to stick to anything and everything. Whether I'm above gear on a slab or on edges, I am not worried about my feet slipping off. I can't believe that I made it so long without these shoes in my quiver and I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to feel what it's like to climb free...

These are my go to shoes. After years of trying many different shoes these really are my favorites. Yes they are amazing performers, can edge on dimes, grab little pockets and smear up slabs. Everyone already knows that. What is really great about these shoes is how well they fit [my foot at least]. There's extra room at the front for your toes to curl up, which is great if you have long toes like I do. This allows me to wear these on hard redpoints and [accidentally forgot other shoes on a trip to yosemite] on fairly long trad routes. These shoes are versatile without sacrificing performance at all. They do stretch a bit as they are leather. I wear a 10.5 street shoe and wear a 42 in these.

This shoe was made to fit my feet, and they climb amazingly well at every style of climbing. There is a reason Tommy climbed the nose in these, they do everything extremely well. If you can have only one pair of shoes this should be it. If you have more than one pair of shoes it should be multiple pairs of these.

I sized mine so tight that you I could just barely stand climbing in them. After a month, they stretched out in all the right places, and fit like there were designed specially for my feet. Once broken in, I could wear them for a few hours before I start to notice significant discomfort. And the laces allow you to really dial in the fit.

The edging is amazing; you can stand on the tiniest things with amazing security in these. For hard face climbing, there is nothing better, in my opinion. They also work well for pockets and heel-hooking. They climb fairly well in cracks but they are not as comfortable as a shoe that is less down-turned and more padded.

I've used mine regularly for about a year now, both indoors and out, and they do not need a resole yet. When these wear out, I plan on replacing them rather than switching to any other shoe.

i love these shoes. the rubber is super sticky, better than any other rubber i have climbed on. They fit like a glove and maitain a nice downturn. perfect for bouldering

I dont really like the shoe box but its a pretty decent shoe from what everyone else tells me. i wore mine for maybe two months before getting the solutions. the toe box was in a weird position for me and it felt to me like my entire foot was being bent to the side. I mean they arent too highly priced and if you like more pressure on your heel and the inside of your foot, then this wouldnt be too bad of a shoe for you. the rubber was prett solid and they apparently last for a long time.

Fantastic shoe for edging and pockets. The toe transfers the pressure off of my big toe onto the ball of my foot, which allows much more aggressive foot placements. The stiffness of the soles mean bomber foot placements on the smallest chips.

They stretched about a 1/4 size in the heel, but due to my odd foot shape (wide foot, and long big toe), I still need to take shoe breaks every half-hour or so.

Haven't climbed trad in them yet, so the 5/5 rating is mostly meaningless, but I would hate to sell these shoes short.

I've had the shoes for about 2 months and climb 4-5 times a week (1-2 hour sessions). The stitching is coming out a bit on one shoe, but the rubber is holding up just fine.

Overall these shoes are fantastic, but next time I might look harder for something that fits my foot shape.

After 4 months of use I still really like these shoes. I haven't had a chance to use them outdoors so this review is purely from the indoor perspective. I sized these really small as I was told they would stretch since the upper in real leather and the lining is essentially cotton. I climb about 2-3 hours/week in them. They have stretched a little... maybe 1/5 of a size. I wish they would stretch just a little more. Once my feet swell they get pretty uncomfortable. I can wear them for about an 1hr 15min straight then i take them off every other send and let my feet breath. The leather over my toes seems to be wearing out a bit. Toe hooks sometimes need more shoe than the rubber that is over my big toe so I assume the wear is from leather rubbing on the holds.

I was also told the downturned shape would somewhat become less prominent as the shoes broke in. Getting a smaller size helps maintain the downturn. After 4 months the downturn is still there. Im wondering what condition these shoes will be in after the spring and summer outdoor season.

Bottom line is I love these shoes. I wonder if they make them in 1/4 size increments.

These shoes are the ones I compare my Anasazi's to. They are slightly more downturned but have the same allround feel to them which is great if you are looking for one pair to rule them all. I don't like the compromise and choose two pairs, anasazis and velcros for the optimum of both worlds

I'm no huge fan of laceups, but the Miuras really are an amazingly designed shoe.

They are well proportioned, appropriately aggressive, and do well on a wide variety of terrains and obstacles. That said they aren't the most comfortable in the world, they're kind of expensive (though worth it), and they're laceups (ugh). I'm not sure I'd ever say they're "The Most Amazing Shoe Ever Designed In The History of The WOOOORLD!" but I definitely think they are among the finest shoes you can climb in and will not disappoint.

Buy them small (like all Sportiva shoes) and use them for sport and trad. For bouldering, there are better, much better shoes, but they will do the job in a pinch. They are fantastic for edging - and I mean fantastic. It's almost like cheating. The heel does a good job, not as aggressive as some bouldering shoes but it doesn't really need to be.

Oh, and also, get the women's Miura. Lighter and you *can* feel the difference in the rand once they're broken in. You'll get more flex, more sensitivity, and more comfort, which are precisely the things the men's Miura are slightly lacking. Plus the baby blue goes well with your chalk bag ;)

I bought these as my second shoe after wearing a 5.10 Coyote that stretched way too much. I bought these at my local gym where I also tried:

5.10 Anasazi
Evolve KaosII

The muira was by far the most comfortable toe box of all 3. No matter what size I got in the 5.10 or the Evolv the heel was really sloppy with a lot of dead space. Sizing smaller just made the toes more painful. The heel on the Miura fit snug. Since they are a cotton lined leather I sized them down to allow for stretching. I was a 8.5 in the Anasazi and Kaos II and ended up getting a 7.5 in the Muira. Almost a month later of climbing 3 hours a week in them they are finally starting to break in. The initial break in was pretty painful. I even tried on the size 8 again to make sure I didn't mess up the sizing. I think they will still break in a little more but overall i am really happy with the shoe.

After almost a decade (maybe more) of making this shoe, I still think this is the best shoe on the market. It just does everything you want and it does it well. I have owned 5 pairs of these and will probably keep buying them. The lace system is the best of any shoe on the market to give you a tight fit and the basic geometry of the shoe makes is good for anything from thin slab to steep roof climbing. I've tried the velcro versions and still think the original is far superior.

Keeps the downturn longer than any other shoe i have had. super sticky rubber. tip: buy super small

I Have went through two pairs of these. They are really great shoes. Sport to trad this shoe does it all. I have always been a fan of velcro rather than laces. I had to put new laces in both pairs that I had. I currently have the velcro version and absolutely love them!!

I must have gone through at least 8 pairs of Miuras in the last 10 years. By far the most comfortable, best performing shoe I have ever owned. I've done everything from extremely overhanging sport routes to 13 pitch Yosemite slabs in the same shoes. Unfortunately the sole comes off the rand after a month or two and the laces break. A little Gorilla Glue and new laces and the things last for years.

Very good shoes, but the sole wears out very fast! In comparison with soles Five Ten, for me, there is no photo!

I use these things for everything. When they're brand new I save them for climbing outdoors: they're comfortable enough for trad routes, they edge great but have enough sensitivity that I trust them in dangerous situations. Once they get broken in a bit they're great for bouldering on just about any angle, and when they're really worn in they're comfortable enough for long gym sessions and they last forever!

I think this shoe does everything about as well as possible. It's not perfect at any one thing, like edging or overhangs, but if I could only take one pair of shoes on any given climbing day - whether it be sport routes, trad climbs, bouldering or the gym - I'd pick the Miuras.
