The Scarpa Boostic shoe is climbing shoe designer Heinz Mariacher's latest creation. Like Frankenstein, the Boostic emerged from the laboratory in radical fashion. Part slipper, with elements of a bouldering power shoe, the Boostic offers all-around performance ready to rival the La Sportiva Miura dynasty.
- Slightly downturned toe locks onto edges with precision
- Softer, sensitive slipper-like midsole transmits foot force for excellent smearing
- High friction toe patch and generous heel rand assist heel and toe hooking
- 4mm Vibram® XS Edge rubber outsole provides incredible hold and durability, even in hot conditions
- Tenoflex midsole is softer and more supple than the Flex midsole found in the Vapor series
- Floating closure straps alleviate pressure points and gaps for a glove-like fit
- Wide toe box appeals to higher volume feet, though dual straps will accommodate many foot shapes
- Uppers blend Suede and breathable Lorica® synthetic for a supple molding while ensuring they don't over stretch
- Due to partial synthetic leather uppers, don't expect the Boostics to stretch like most unlined shoes
- Made in Italy
