The latest in a string of masterpieces by rock shoe designer Heinz Mariacher, the Boostic is a professional tool intended to perform at the highest levels of the sport, in vertical to overhanging terrain where precision toe power and edging is crucial. Because of its stretchable, sock-like upper, the downturned Boostic slips on snugly, and can accommodate a wide variety of foot types for a precise fit. The two hook-and-loop tab closures augment the structural integrity, securing the foot for high power performance, yet simultaneously retaining slipper-like sensitivity for more delicate moves. Mapping Microssuede and leather into different areas in the uppers creates a shoe designed to work with the foot, allowing dynamic movement while climbing, and also maintaining the shoe’s precision fit over its lifetime. Give your toe the extra bite it needs for the most challenging ascents with the Boostic climbing shoe from Scarpa. Precision technical features like the high friction toe patch and the Vibram XS Edge give you the confidence you need to cling to fissures that are all but invisible. See you at the summit. Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA, a muti-generational, family-owned business whose headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in the same region of northern Italy where it was founded in 1938. SCARPA builds performance footwear for climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and other outdoor pursuits. Aside from being the Italian word for "shoe," SCARPA is an acronym for Societa Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima (Associated Shoe Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Mountain Area).
