Scarpa Furia Air
Scarpa
Ultra-lightweight aggressive performer with a thin Flexan 1.0 midsole, the Furia Air is a minimalist's dream for sport climbing and bouldering. At just 320g, it delivers the sensitivity of a slipper with the precision of a precise toe-box, using Vibram XS Grip2 rubber for texture feedback. The new 2026 refresh is built on the Drago XT last (1mm straighter than the original) with a refined Z-strap closure for secure adjustment.
Best For
Best for bouldering and sport climbing on overhang and roof terrain. Aimed at advanced to elite climbers.
