Scarpa Booster Climbing Shoes
The Booster is powerful, supportive, and precise. With an aggressively downturned, asymmetric shape it is a perfect choice for steep, demanding terrain while still holding its own when the climbing gets more vertical. The Booster is one of the most versatile models in Scarpa's Specialized Performance Category.
Microfibre Upper
Utilising microfibre materials, the shoes are exceptionally comfortable, with a new, improved fit, and ceramic microsuede and Alcantara upper combine with this to supply you with a comfortable and lightweight construction. A PAF System helps to spread the force of the heel tension whilst increasing the fit of the heel. This innovative heel system also helps with the over-compression of the toe box. The aggressive tension rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon and connected with softer rubber that works like a bridge to adapt to the shape of the heel. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied. This varies between one hole for light tension, two holes for mid-tension and three holes for strong tension. Finally, to provide a locked-in and secure fit, the shoes have two large velcro straps across the top of the midfoot.
Soft Spine Midsole
Allowing your foot to sit comfortably during the climbing, the shoes have a soft spine, which will also help to maintain the shape of the heel cup for technical heel hooks. The Booster has a downturned position to allow your feet to form a position that's best for climbing. The DTS active randing system provides tension in two different strengths on either side of the foot and adapts perfectly to the dynamics of the foot in motion.
Vibram Outsole
Developed using a Vibram XS Grip 2 Outsole with added arch support, the Booster Climbing Shoes ensure maximum support and stability whether you're outdoor, indoor or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and keeps its shape in tough conditions. A truly robust outsole, the XS Grip 2 can endure repeated abuse in hot and cold weather conditions giving you a shoe that can truly perform in all weather conditions.
Best suited for users with a narrow foot width.
