Review on πŸ§— SCARPA Men's Helix Lace Climbing Shoes for Traditional and Sport Climbing by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great comfort, good climbing shoe but wears out quickly from

I really like these shoes, but I'm only giving four stars because they wear out very quickly (less than three months of indoor climbing 2-4 times a week). Part of this may be due to the type of climbing I do, a lot of ARC training that involves climbing relatively easy levels for 45 minutes to an hour at a time. The size was also slightly different from the previous Scarpa Force VI, which lasted about six months longer than this one. Same size, same brand, and they were about 0.5 sizes (EU) bigger than the Force V. I wish I was 43.5 instead of 44. I wear size 10 1/2 US shoes for comparison.

Pros
  • Vibram XS Edge Rubber | XS Edge rubber offers excellent grip and is strong, durable and durable - perfect for climbers learning the nuances of foot placement.
