Scarpa Gecko Approach Hiking Shoe
The Scarpa Gecko is the real Climbing Approach shoe where sensitivity, precision and grip are the most important features. The combination of a precise last, the extended lacing, a protective rubber rand and the sole with little pronounced lugs and climbing zone for excellent sensitivity and grip, make Gecko the perfect connection between climbing and technical approach.
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. Having a durable and reliable upper will allow for better performance and comfort when climbing. The suede material is also water-repellent for added durability and comfort. Finishing the upper is a precise and comfortable last to wrap the foot immediately whilst remaining comfortable with an extended lacing system that allows for superior customisation and a comfortable fit.
The Heel Tension System 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.
An Auto-Fit collar allows for a secure yet comfortable fit and guards against chafing and irritation caused by an excessive build up of sweat and moisture.
Medium Density Compressed EVA MidsoleThe midsole features EVA cushioning without sacrificing that ultra-stable feel. This provides your feet with a nice, plush cushioned feel and adds heightened responsiveness to give an all-round comfortable feeling as you rack up the miles.
PRESA OutsoleThe outsole is designed to have a solid and compact look. Constructed using a compound that is able to combine an extraordinary grip and durability, the Gecko is perfect to confront yourself with previously inaccessible walls. The large climbing zone offers excellent sensitivity, grip and accurate precision.
