What are the Arpia Climbing Shoes?
Scarpa's Arpia Climbing Shoes are versatile enough for multi-sport use, whether sport climbing, bouldering or training in the gym. They're comfortable yet tight-fitting to allow for maximum precision on the wall.
What are they made of?
A synthetic upper provides ample abrasion resistance and durability for years of wear.
M50 rubber is used strategically throughout the design for further protection. M50 is Scarpa's softest rubber compound. It offers premium levels of adaptability to the foot's shape, allowing these shoes to mould to your feet over time for a better fit.
Vibram XS Grip 2 soles, used by many bouldering world champions, deliver measurably improved grip. They have a particular level of firmness that works perfectly for edging and sloped holds without losing performance in certain temperatures/climates. Vibram XS Grip 2 is the answer if you're seeking maximum grip.
What are their features?
The Arpia shoes feature a HT-Tension system designed to maintain tension between the heel and the toe. Combining the heel and forefoot tension into a single piece of rubber and reducing the layers around the foot while maintaining a more downturned shape and toe tension helps to increase precision overall for a higher-level performance.
A double velcro fastening is quick and easy to use, whilst a slightly arched, asymmetrical shape delivers an immediate fit.
You'll be glad to know that these shoes can also be resoled. So, even if the bottom looks a little worse for wear, you can get them fixed up in no time, making them last even longer!
