Scarpa Veloce L
Scarpa
The Veloce L is a medium-stiff, slightly downturned lace shoe from Scarpa for sport climbing and bouldering. Typically sized 2 EU sizes below street size. 8 of 8 user reports find the heel loose; 7 of 7 user reports rate the forefoot perfect. In stock at 10 shops from 101.50 EUR.
The lace version of the Veloce takes Scarpa's gym-focused platform and adds real fit tunability. The offset lace pattern tracks the shoe's slight asymmetry, while the M50 rand wraps the forefoot for toe hooks you wouldn't expect from a comfort shoe. S72 rubber is the star - stickier than most performance compounds on plastic, though it pays for that grip with faster outdoor wear.
Best For
Best for sport climbing and bouldering on slab, vertical and overhang terrain. Aimed at hobby to intermediate climbers.
Among the 469 adult climbing shoes we track, the Veloce L ranks in the top 13% for smearing, the top 24% for crack climbing and the top 28% for comfort.
