Scarpa Origin Men's Rock Climbing Shoes for Gym and Sport

The Origin Reflex V, Force V, Vapor, Veloce, and Helix climbing shoes from SCARPA share several key features, yet each model caters to a slightly different climbing discipline.

Sizing & Fit: - The EU size range is 39.5 - 47.5, equivalent to US men's sizes 7-13. - These shoes tend to run small, so it's recommended to size up from your street shoe size or opt for a larger fit. - A wide last, high volume, and slight asymmetry provide a comfortable fit for most men's feet. - The unique heel system distributes pressure, reducing Achilles strain while maintaining active forward support.

Materials & Construction: - Uppers are crafted from quality suede (1.8mm), microsuede, or a zonal stretch knit fabric. - Midsoles range from flexible nylon to more rigid Flexan compounds, providing the desired level of support and sensitivity. - Outsoles feature Vibram rubber compounds (3.5-5mm) optimized for grip on different terrain. - Weights range from 6.9 oz to 8.8 oz per half pair, depending on the model.

Performance & Use: - The Origin, Reflex V, and Force V are best suited for sport climbing and gym sessions, prioritizing comfort over extreme sensitivity. - The Vapor and Veloce models offer a moderate downturn and asymmetry, making them versatile for bouldering and sport climbing. - The Helix is the most aggressive of the bunch, with a slight downturn and higher asymmetry, making it well-suited for trad and sport climbing.
