La Sportiva Kubo Review – The Best Beginner Climbing Shoe?

Is the La Sportiva Kubo the best beginner climbing shoe? I put this popular model to the test during a bouldering session at Klatreverket Åssiden! Originally, my plan for this session was to climb hard and find the three coolest boulders at this gym. But there was just one problem—I forgot all my climbing gear at my usual gym! Luckily, I had a brand-new pair of La Sportiva Kubo shoes lying in my car since Christmas. So instead of just focusing on the climbs, I decided to put these shoes to the test. In this video, I share my first impressions, performance review, and overall thoughts on how the Kubo handles different types of boulders. Are they comfortable? Do they provide enough grip and support for technical climbs? And most importantly—are they the best beginner climbing shoes? If you’re looking for a solid first climbing shoe or considering the La Sportiva Kubo, this video is for you! Let me know in the comments—have you tried these shoes? What’s your go-to climbing shoe?
