The Scarpa Gecko is a minimalist crag approach shoe designed for technical approach to crags, moving fast and precise on easier climbs and descents. The Gecko is aptly named as it clings to rock with its low centre of gravity and super sticky Vibram Reptilia HG outsole. The midsole, features dual density cushioning without sacrificing that ultra-stable feel. Scarpa's Gecko incorporates, sock fit DV and an auto fit collar to accentuate its awesome fit, which is wide at the forefoot yet with an overal low volume fit.
Type: Approach Shoes
I bought these for when I'm coaching. They are comfortable for littering around a climbing wall or crag and allow me to demonstrate without switching to rock shoes. No problems climbing F5 indoors in them. The lack of give in the soles and flat base mean they are painful and tiring on the legs to walk any distance in. Not really suitable for approaches, then. I see them as a rock shoe that I can walk about in. As this, they're great.
Odd looking, but unbelievably comfortable straight out of the box. The sole is a little light for muddy trails, but once you get on the rocks, these shoes really shine. Stiff enough to climb in, sensitive enough to feel what you are doing, but well built enough for to to walk home from the crag without having to stop and change. My Scarpa Zen's are good, but they poor cousins to my now long dead Scarpa Quest's. These new Gecko's are better than both!
