The Scarpa Veloce is a downturned performance shoe for climbers who are fairly new to the sport but progressing quickly. It offers comfort and technology for most kinds of climbing, with a focus on indoor climbing, and it’s pretty soft. The latest version brings three key updates: a plush Achilles heel cushion, a refined heel fit and a redesigned strap for a more secure fit.
The FKJ last has a square toe profile, so it fits a wide range of foot shapes while keeping enough support, sensitivity and power to climb hard grades with ease and without the usual rock shoe pain. That means you can train or climb harder for longer in the Veloce. The fit has been improved with reduced volume in the heel, which cuts down on baggy, empty space and gives a snug, precise fit for more climbers.
The heel now has a plush Achilles cushion taken from Scarpa’s Blackbird rock shoe, adding comfort without losing heel-hooking precision. It works alongside the PAF, which acts like a shock absorber in the heel by absorbing over-compression in the toe box without reducing the power available to you.
The microfibre upper is smooth, stretchy and extremely comfortable. Its twin-ply construction means the shoe can be resoled several times and washed easily. The upper is mapped around the toes to match the last, so it feels soft against the skin straight away and doesn’t create pressure points.
The updated Wave strap system locks your foot in for a more secure fit, while keeping closure fast and flexible. It also cuts down on extra layers of material, which helps the shoe breathe.
Scarpa’s new S-72 super sticky rubber grips well even when you’re smearing on volumes, and the proven M-50 toe patch keeps toe hooks locked in place.
The Veloce is made with vegan-friendly materials and glue.
Sizing
As with all the modern performance Scarpa's, the Veloce provides reliably similar sizing - i.e. if you are a 42 in the Vapour Lace, Instinct Lace/Slipper, Boostic etc. you should be a 42 in this shoe.
