Scarpa Gecko Approach Shoe - UKClimbing UKC Gear - REVIEW: Scarpa Gecko Approach Shoe - UKClimbing

Boasting a playful, modern style, these are made from water-resistant suede and offer excellent grip thanks to their Vibram® soles. In addition, the ACTIVfit system ensures maximum well-being at all times. Inspired by a passion for the mountains and a proud history of artisan craftsmanship, Scarpa have become the complete outdoor footwear brand. Founded in Asolo, Italy's City of a hundred horizons over eighty years ago, Scarpa have been at the cutting edge of mountaineering footwear since their inception. In approach shoes, you spend more time walking than actually climbing, and the relatively low profile of the tread does make for less grip on grassy and muddy terrain. Few approach shoes have a heel brake, and these are no exception, so slippery grass descents could be an issue. That said, I didn't experience any noticeably increased slipperiness compared to other approach shoes with a higher profile tread, although overall we'd say a deeper tread would be better for longer walks on muddy terrain. NOTE: The above table is only a guide. Manufactures don’t like tomake it easy as every single oneof them strays from the measurements above. string(379) "For those in search of light, comfortable footwear for everyday use, strolls through the city, adventurous trips and leisure, the Highball by SCARPA is the perfect shoe.
