The SCARPA Arpia V LV Climbing Shoe fits narrower feet perfectly, and it has the best balance of comfort and performance on dead-vertical to overhung terrain. Its slight downturn doesn't feel as uncomfortable as aggressive climbing shoes, and it provides better performance than flat, comfortable climbing shoes. As Vibram's softer rubber compound, the XS Grip 2 sole ensures phenomenal traction that grips the slipperiest footholds in the gym. SCARPA made the upper out of durable microfiber synthetic for reduced stretch, and the rubber toe patch helps you toe-hook correctly.
