The SCARPA Veloce climbing shoe offers comfort and technology with a special focus on indoor climbing. The new FKJ last has a square toe profile with quite a wide heel, so will fit a wide range of foot shapes yet maintain enough support, sensitivity and power to climb high end grades with ease and without the usual rock shoe pain. This means you can train or climb harder for longer in the Veloce. The new PAF is like a shock absorber in the heel and works by absorbing over-compression in the toe box by but does not reduce the power available to you.
The microfibre upper offers a smooth, elasticated upper which is extremely comfortable. The twin ply microfibre gives the upper the ability to be resoled several times and easily washed.
The upper is mapped around the toes, matching the last, giving a soft next to skin feeling immediately and without pressure.
Wave strap system locks the foot in for fast and flexible closure and reducing excess layers for greater breathability.
SCARPA's new S-72 super sticky rubber ensures great friction even while pasting on volumes and smears and a the tried and tested M-50 toe patch keeps those toe hooks locked in place.
The Veloce has been made using Vegan friendly materials and glue.

If you are planning on using your rockshoes at altitude – size up to allow for expansion. Lace-up shoes are good for allowing your feet a little extra space. Especially if you are climbing in the cold when blood circulation is critical.
When you try on a lace-up shoe, undo the laces completely and then tighten them accordingly from toe to ankle.
