Scarpa Booster Climbing Shoe

The Booster is a classic, this is the 3rd edition of the Booster now and rumour has it, it's better than ever! The Booster is the ultimate sport climbing weapon, it's extremely precise and best suited for climbing outside but still performs well on plastic. So let's get into the details of the shoe, the boosters upper is fully synthetic, some areas of the shoe are made from ceramic microfibre which is thin but has great abrasion resistance making the upper of the Booster durable. The toe patch is made out of Alcantara which again adds to the durability of the shoe but still gives you a great level of sensitivity through the toe. The Booster has a new midsole that has more plastic adding a little bit more stiffness to support your foot on those tiny edges, but don't worry it is still flexible enough to smear thanks to the holes in the middle of the midsole to keep the shoe flexible, all of this creates a precise shoe that is great at edging and smearing. The new Booster also has a new heel system, the PAF heel has a pressure absorbing fit with a big pressure point at the top of the heel which pushes the toes forward into the front of the shoe providing more pressure on the tip of your toe which adds more precision to the shoe, this along with the narrow heel cup that sucks your foot into the shoe and the super sticky orange strip of M50 rubber on the heel makes heel hooking in the Booster a dream. It best suits a narrow foot with a classic shape but it will fit a wider foot thanks to the microfibre upper and adjustable velcro closure system. So if you're looking for a sport climbing shoe that is suited to climbing on steep rock then you will love the Booster.
