Scarpa Boostic Rock Climbing Shoe

About the Scarpa Boostic

The Scarpa Boostic rock climbing shoe combines a super lightweight and durable construction thats all about technical performance

The new Boostic model has a wider forefoot and narrower heel which combine for a more sculpted fit. The Scarpa shoe features the new highly tensioned Pressure Absorbing Fit (PAF) heel, that wraps around the heel cup making it a little wider at the top than a slingshot heel. The PAF system reduces the pressure on the back of the heel and is better at driving the foot forward into the toe box more for a more precise toe box and more comfortable heel. Now, who doesn’t want more precise toe without heel pressure and pain?

The Booster’s highly asymmetric last, design and tensioned rubber rand also pulls power from the toes rather than cramping them forward, giving you a more comfortable climb. The Boostic distributes pressure away from your heels and around the entire shoe, particularly towards the toes for impeccable response and accurate placements with immediate feedback. The upper is constructed ceramic microfiber which is thinner but just as sturdy and abrasion-resistant as before, whilst the toe area is built using an alcantara microfiber pile that gives the shoe more durability and a better mould around the end of your foot.

The full-length Vibram XS Edge sole gives your feet greater support on micro edges and polished nubbins with all the durability you expect from Virbam. The plastic midsole runs almost the full shape of the rubber sole making the shoes stiff and sturdy and able to attach to minimum edges.

As you would expect, its double velcro strap closing system will ensure fast entry and exit as well as allowing for easy loosening when belaying or taking a break.
