Scarpa Helix Men's Climbing Shoes

The Helix combines a classic design with high-quality materials and construction. Its flat, neutral, non-asymmetric profile, paired with a suede upper and traditional lace-up closure, delivers a relaxed fit, making it ideal for long routes, guiding days, and sport climbing.

Suede Upper

Constructed using a suede upper, the Helix are worthy of any outdoor adventure. Designed to provide the right amount of flexibility and support, the non-asymmetric upper conforms to the shape of the foot yet, retains its elasticity for a better, more supportive fit. The suede upper ensures the shoes hold their shape for longer than other leather equivalents plus, it is soft on the skin for complete comfort. The toe area is seamless for comfort. The classic two-piece tensioning system features a tensioned heel that enhances wrapping of the lateral and lower areas of the foot, and a tensioned toe that provides increased support and precise toe wrapping. Completing the upper is a lacing system that locks down the midfoot with a secure and customisable fit, the laces are flat for lower bulk and greater hold.

Vibram XS Edge Outsole

Developed using a 3.5mm Vibram XS Edge Outsole, the Helix Climbing Shoes ensure maximum support whether you're outdoor, indoor or lead climbing. This specialist outsole allows you to focus your weight on the tiniest of holds and keeps its shape in tough conditions. A truly robust outsole, the XS Edge can endure repeated abuse in hot and cold weather conditions giving you a shoe that can truly perform in all weather conditions. The rigid, flat, neutral nature of the outsole supports you during any climb by adapting to the ground below you and bearing your weight as you move from rock type to rock type. The superior rigidness of this shoe is counterbalanced by adaptability and sensitivity. The outsole allows for a more natural feel ensuring you can detect rocks beneath your feet for a barefoot experience. The increase in ground feel allows you to adapt to different terrain so you can ensure hold at all times. The outsole of the Helix Climbing Shoes provides an optimal balance of performance and durability, and for an added bonus, the shoe can be resoled. Atop this a Thermoplastic polymer midsole keeps things supportive.
