Aug 29, 2015Great shoe that wears out too fastI liked everything about this shoe (it's comfortable, excellent grip on slaby rock, good weight), except that it tore apart after about 5 - 6 uses.

Read More Love that these lace all the way down to the toe for a snug fit. These shoes are light enough to both stuff into your pack to carry on multi-pitch climbs or throw on for a casual hike to the crag from your car. Really nice gel-type padding around the heel. Tread is not the best if you're going to be hiking in a lot of mud and wet leaves - the fore area of the toe especially is smooth (made for grip on rock which can make "pushing off" on leaves or wet grass feel a bit slippy) but if you cover a lot of rock on your hikes/approaches, these are fantastic! -

Read More Recently moved to Colorado, and most of the 14,000 ft Mountains are more rock scramble than the simple, one foot in front of the other uphill trek. The outsole of the shoe is rugged enough for multiple miles on the approach and secure enough as a climbing shoe to get me over class 3/4 verticals. This is a shoe and a brand you can trust to be comfortable and safe in your travels. -

Read More Bought these because of my satisfaction with a pair of Scarpa boots. They are stiff and offer good traction on dry rock. Unfortunately, the leather near the insole wore out and ripped within a week of moderate usage. Happily, REI took them as a return, but I would not buy these again. -

Read More I've had these shoes since they came out, sometime in early 2012, 2+ years. I've been all over the US in them. Hiking, biking, whatever. I took them to Ecuador for my approach and camp shoes for a Cotopaxi summit trip, also used them on acclimatization hikes. These are NOT climbing shoes, they are approach shoes and great everyday shoes. All these reviews about the shoe failing after "5 days" of climbing. Yeah, no kidding, they aren't built for that, which is why Scarpa makes climbing shoes. Before you buy a product make sure it suits your purpose, and if you choose to ignore its intended use don't get upset when you trash the product prematurely. -

Read More For starters, I don't use these as "approach" shoes. I don't climb. I walk around the city in them and occasionally use them for hiking in the woods. Very comfortable. Good traction. They seem to wear pretty quickly--but I wear mine a lot so maybe that's to be expected. I actually own two pairs of these because I liked the first pair so much. One like this in green and another in orange/red. I think the canvas one breathes a little better. Fit seems very true to size. -

Read More I love scarpa products usually but I dont know what they were thinking when they made this shoe. They perform great and are comfortable when you get them. Problem is that they wear out after about a month. -

Read More After using this shoe extensively over the past month, including long days doing Sierra solos and traverses, I can say that it is hands down the best "approach shoe" I have ever used for long days. For cragging or light scrambling, I might recommend the Evolv Cruzer...but for one shoe that can handle anything you can throw at it, the Scarpa Crux is it. The only thing the shoe does not do fantastically is edging (unless you size then tight, which makes long hikes excruciating); but I have yet to see an approach shoe that does. Highly recommended.
