Scarpa Booster Climbing Shoe - Vibram XS Grip

Item #SCR0029 | 50 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Boost me up.

By Ranked #814 - Climbing Shoes April 8, 2010

This is only my second shoe, so take whatever I saw with a grain of salt. For sizing I got a 42.5 and I normally wear 44. The fit is tight, and was rather painful for the first 2 weeks. after about 20 hours of climbing they were pretty broken in. Rubber is nice, but not amazing. The fit is heavily down-turned throughout the foot (not like in the solutions where it's mostly the toe) and the heel is very comfortable. Easy on an off, sweet looking, and fairly sensitive. The main thing i would note is that these are VERY aggressive, which means they excel on bouldering and overhanging sport, but are not as good on vertical as overhanging. Great shoes.
