Scarpa
Instinct VS-R
The Scarpa Instinct VS-R is a softer version of the classic instinct shoe. Great for a range of sport climbing and bouldering, but really dialled down for those who climb mostly on plastic, those with a lighter frame, or for those looking to broaden their shoe collection. The VS-R maintains characteristics of the original in terms of fit and build, however the softer Vibram Grip 2 compound provides a higher sensitivity and feel on the wall.
Scarpa
Drago LV
The Scarpa Drago LV offers unbelievable levels of performance and has now been made as a low volume version, for those with narrower feet. It has all the same characteristics of the original, but with a snugger fit. Made for technical high-grade bouldering and competitions, the Scarpa Drago LV with Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber will give you the maximum grip to the wall. It has an aggressive downturn for steep routes, but due to the softness of the sole unit and rubber, the Drago also performs incredibly well on slabs, smearing over the smallest of holds with ease.

Scarpa
Vapour Lace
The Scarpa Vapour Lace is probably the best all round climbing shoe in the world.. and it just got better! A high tension boot with a narrow last and central toe point makes the Vapour Lace ideal for a close fitting and precise fit. That centre toe point also works well for those with Morten's Toe. The Vapour Lace is slightly downturned and stiff, to give extra purchase on steep, small holds. This is compounded using Vibram's XS Edge rubber technology.
Scarpa
Mescalito
The Scarpa Mescalito is a technical shoe designed for long approaches and more technical scrambling. The Mescalitio is built around the new Vibram Dynamis sole unit using Lite Base technology, which significantly reduces the weight of the shoe. This is combined with a bi-density EVA midsole which gives great cushioning, especially compared to more traditional approach shoes. The outsole is Vibram Megagrip for maximum grip and traction on smooth surfaces.
Tenaya
Iati
The Tenaya Iati is a relatively aggressive climbing shoe that's great for both short, powerful boulders and longer sport routes. The Iati is comfortable from the word go and has been designed with Vibram XS Grip2 rubber which excels at allowing you to use those tiny footholds and sketchy smears. Constructed with a combination of both leather and synthetic, the shoe is breathable, although not super stretchy so the shoe and fit does not sag too much over time.

Ra
The Tenaya Ra has been a revelation for many narrow footed male climbers and female climbers alike. It also means that our range for women is bigger than it initially looks. The Ra is a relatively comfy Velcro fastening climbing shoe offering very good levels of allrounder performance for use at the wall, sport climbing or trad climbing. The combination of materials, fit and and Vibram XS Grip 4mm outsole make the Ra a shop favourite and one that customers are returning to again and again.
