Scarpa Veloce L

Scarpa

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.

Trade-offs

  • S72 wears fast on outdoor rock

  • Primarily an indoor shoe despite lace versatility

Sizing & Fit
