Scarpa Veloce Climbing Shoe - 2007 BCS

These shoes are exactly like they are described. Perfect for someone just getting into climbing or someone that climbs occasionally. That said, they are of excellent, typical Scarpa construction and are very comfortable. I have been very satisfied with these.

these are a great beginner shoe. the rubber is super sticky and they are very comfortable. not for very aggressive climbing, the heel is very flimsy and not built for tough heel hooks. i think they run a half size to big. but overall a really good shoe for someone new to the sport.

These shoes are awesome. I've used them a few times since I've had them; primarily bouldering and they've been great. The two pull straps on the back make them a flash to get on. the velro is super easy to get a good fit and awesome for bouldering when you're constantly taking them off and moving to new problems. I have a medium-wide foot and wear a 8.5 or 9 in regular shoes, and opted for the 40 in this shoe. It's a pretty good fit.

I'm just getting into climbing. I have a very wide foot, and countless efforts of cramming my feet into shoes that seemed two sizes to small almost made me walk away from the sport...until I bought these. They run wide, so my feet are still cramped, but comfortable nonetheless. Rubber is super sticky for smearing and the velcro fastens in opposite directions to make them super tight in just the right spots. Look great too! They saved my interest in climbing and now I can't get off the wall.

Very comfortable shoe, except for the tongue and back cutting into my ankle a bit. It got better after a little use, but still bugs me after a long day of climbing. I've only been indoors with these shoes and they have great grip and work pretty well overall.

Felt like I was sticking to the rock. Love the velcro. Green's my color.

These are class shoes, I rented some from a climbing wall in Manchester UK and had to have the same make, scarpa are simply class. USed them a few times now and I really enjoy climbing in them very trusting, cant wait to get on real grit try them at the roaches!!

Great shoe. The stiffness makes the good to learn proper foot work. The vibram sole is very sticky which gives a needed confidence boost when attempting tough problems. The sizing was a spot on. I wear a 9 street shoe and have the 41.5 after being a little tight a first, they did stretch out a little bit to fit like a glove.

My girlfriend bought me these shoes so that I would have something comfortable to wear on those days spent with her doing easy/moderate climbing. While they are, in fact, quite comfy, I find their performance characteristics to be really lackluster. I can't edge at all in these shoes and they give me no feel for the rock. I've often thought that the problem had to be my own and that the shoe couldn't be that bad, but as soon as I throw on my Vision V or Booster's (both scarpa) the world's seems a different place. These shoes are only suitable for people who desire comfort mainly, and will not be climbing into the 5.10's any time soon. Otherwise, there are plenty of more sensible options (e.g. Scarpa Vision V or any good technical trad shoe).
