La Sportiva 90th Anniversary Storytelling - The Spanish Compound

Maybe no one knows that there is an automotive background, at the origin of the firsts climbing shoes.
There are some waste tyres of a Prototype Alfa 33 Sport at the Alfa Romeo test track in Balocco, Piedmont. And the idea of a young businessman with the passion for rally competitions and a small shoe manufacturing in the middle of the Alps...

Happy 90th Anniversary @La Sportiva!

@La_Sportiva I have the same La Sportiva Solution shoes as Jain Kim shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHK9nol-nLylpqs and since my feet are narrow like her are, I have to tighten the lace up so much so that the Velcro strap is only attached by 1/4th of the contact area. Like her shoes it sticks out the side and is a concern for me if it gets caught and undone while climbing. Also the stitching for the velcro has come undone on one pair. Question, could you make a pair of La Sportiva Solution shoes with a shorter strap for people like me with skinny feet?
