Scarpa Kalipe Approach Shoes
This exciting approach shoe combines a modern technical formula with a classic style, making the Kalipe shoe versatile for genuine crag approaches as well as being great as part of an all-day climbing uniform. The Kalipe is an extremely comfortable approach shoe designed for prolonged use, versatile and ideal for rocky terrain.
Water-Resistant Suede Upper
Toughness and quality is in abundance with the suede upper. Your feet will remain protected courtesy of the rubber toe and heel rand which are particularly useful when walking or hiking on difficult terrain where debris, rocks, and obstacles may cause problems. The side of the upper contains a thermo-embossed exoskeleton which provides more lateral support than conventional suede. Having a durable upper allows for better performance and comfort for climbing. The Autofit Collar, with an ergonomic design and special padding, ensures maximum adaptability and comfort, helping to reduce the impact stress that rests on the Achilles and malleolus area.
Stiff Midsole
Great performance and comfort on any terrain. The Kalipe features a Heel Tension System that is an innovative system applied to the heel area of the upper part of the boot. It offers great stability and adaptability to the severe stress derived from steep routes. The particular design and the TPU material help the upper responsively, avoiding torsional twists and makes walking easier even on difficult and rough terrains. The midsole encourages a level of control that is needed for tough climbs or varied terrain. The removable insole increases underfoot cushioning so you can go further for longer in complete comfort. The insole is also moisture-wicking meaning it transports moisture away from the skin for quick evaporation so your feet will always remain dry and comfortable.
Vibram Etilas Outsole
The Vibram Etilas Outsole simultaneously climbs more effectively and also provides better traction for descending loose terrain. This is important to climbing as it presents the wearer with a shoe they can rely on for optimal grip and traction on varying terrain.
