Scarpa Booster Climbing Shoe

the scarpa booster is an excellent shoe once broken in, which takes a while. It took me a couple weeks of pain. The pain was a result of a narrow toe box. The shoe conforms to your foot for a snug fit and will not pop off even when it isn't velcroed. My feet stick to everything. I highly recommend these shoes, also downsize one and a half sizes, these are very stretchy.

hard to break in, but once they fit you there's nothing left to wish for (might be due to a rather broad foot, too). the steeper, the better, the steeper! they are very precise and give good feedback. they also stick like glue, my feet are the last thing to come off since i have them. only good things to say about those, get a pair! downsized one (and a half-ish) size.

The break-in process is almost unbearable, you'll constantly put them on and off,but after a week the material feels comfortable and the shoes stretch a bit. They are excellent on steep walls and roofs/caves. The rubber on the heel is thin so this allows greater sensitivity while heel hooking. The rubber patch on the toes hasn't worked well on plastic holds, but it felt solid outdoors. The downturn toebox allows you to apply maximum power to your toes and keeps you clinging onto the smallest footholds. The velcro fastener straps are really aggressive and lock your foot in place. I wear a 9.5 in La Sportiva Solutions, and a 10.5 in La Sportiva Muira, and in the the Scarpa Boosters I wear a 10(a 10.5 probably would have been better). My foot is a size 11. I recommend these as a secondary pair of shoes for those steep problems.

if you're looking for a new shoe don't hesitate to buy these. i own shoes from the testorosa to the moccosun and these kick all their butts. only con is that it doest smear as well as slippers.

The Scarpa Booster are overall an amazing shoe. I found the break in of the shoe to be near unbearable but after a week or so the shoe molded to my feet like cancer to a prostate. A "well fitted shoe" will provide suburb aggression on any overhang and a great platform for slab. The heals are solid, i love it. A con for this shoe i found was the material at the toe end is being eaten away from so much feature scraping. Little tape fixed that. Lov'em.

Great shoes. Definitely not for anything flat. Great for hanging around in caves and may be decent for sport climbing.

this is the first down-turned shoe i've worn and there isn't a problem with it yet... it sticks well with no problems good for heel hooks toe hooks and all that and the fit is a little weird but easy to get use to

The steeper the better, thats how steep. These shoes chew up roof routes and offer super powerful edging. The design of the shoe forces the toes into a bit of a pooch that can be tough to fit into tight spots but otherwise the shoe is flawless. Also check out the La Sportiva Solution if you like these...

Scarpa have done it again and created a beast of a shoe for anything steep. The Boosters boast an amazing last which will allow you to do your best in any roof. I wouldn't use these on slabs though...I had to purchase these 2 sizes higher than what I wear in La Sportiva.
