Why We Like The Crux Shoe
Whether we're scrambling the talus fields of Joshua Tree to get to a crag or we're taking on a Yosemite approach, the Scarpa Men's Crux Shoe has sure footing we can rely on. An upper comprised of suede and recycled polyester airmesh lining offers ventilation so our feet aren't soaked through with sweat by the time we reach the trailhead, and a Vibram Vertical Approach rubber sole helps us get traction on steep or slick terrain. The microporous dual-density EVA midsole cushions under proven pressure zones to maintain comfort even during the most trying approach and protects underfoot from sharp, jutting rocks or a mid-trail root.

Great tough shoe
- Familiarity:

- 9.5
Been wearing these Scarpas every day. They are comfortable. Probably bought a half size larger than normal but I plan to hike in them as well as bicycle. Great mountainbiking and gravel riding shoes. The color is very easy on my eyes.The construction is beaautiful and strong. The sliding tounge issue has been fixed. Bill

Super comfortable and stable base
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

These shoes are a great balance between a tennis shoe and a more substantial hiking boot. The footbed is super comfortable. They did not require any break in period and are highly adjustable due to full length lacing. The soles are very stable on uneven ground. They feel like a slightly more bulky skateboard shoe. I hope this minimizes ankle rolls. So far I am very happy. I will try to update the review after I have used them for awhile. (I sized up 1/2 a European size so that I can wear extra socks in winter. The still feel comfortable with only 1 sock.)

Great shoe tongue tab doesn't work

When I put these shoes on I felt like my feet were home. They felt great! The only down side is the tongue tab that the laces pass through. It is too large, the laces don't catch and the tongue constantly slides to one side or the other never staying put. Found this out after the first day of use in the Wind Rivers through hike Green River lakes to Elkheart Park. I know it is knit picking but at the price you pay that shouldn't happen. My bogo sketchers don't have this problem. I wouldn't purchase these again with this defect even though they were a great shoe, it just drives me bonkers to constantly have to pull the tongue over every time the shoe loosens. Scarpa should know better. I have purchase a lot of their foot products over the years and haven't had issues like this. La Sportiva haven't let me down and thinking I may go with them again on my up coming spend as the performance and prices are comparable. We will see.

Great All Around Approach Shoe

I got this shoe with the intention for fairly slabby, slightly technical, and boulder hopping approaches. This shoe fits that criteria perfectly. I downsized this from my normal 41.5 in street size, which required a minor break in. The foam sole and suede upper really mold to your foot similar to a climbing shoe. the super soft rubber sole and to the toe lacing really lets you dial your toe in with confidence. The soft rubber is extremely sticky, but very soft, I wouldn't recommend using this shoe for extensive hiking or daily / around town use as you will really wear the shoe down quickly. The suede upper really sacrifices breath-ability so using these in hotter climates will leave your feet really swampy. But in the winter with wool socks I was kept extremely warm even with some wetness that came through. I've worn overshoe crampons with these and they work just fine, but I wouldn't use them extensively as you will notice wetness with little to none of it drying out. This is a great approach shoe but I would not use it for more than approaches or scrambling as you will wear them out quickly.

I was supposed to start the 93 mile Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier at 8 AM with my group. Imagine my surprise when I woke up that morning and found two left boots in my bag. Luckily Whitiker Mountaineering was a half-hour away and stocked these. I bought them (size 44, US 10.5) and hit the trail. 93 sure-footed miles later, i did not have a single blister. They served me very well and will be my go to brand moving forward.

Any tips on not getting the tongue of this shoe to slide to one side? Seems like after 2-3 min of walking the tongue on both shoes has migrated to the outside. This is a common complaint on other review sites for this shoe so wondering if a solution has been found... considering cutting holes in the tongue and getting creative with the lacing... I love my pair and have about 100mi on them but the tongue issue is seriously annoying and means your foot isnt locked properly which makes the shoe feel way less secure when climbing or scrambling...
