New Gear

The Scarpa Origins were the first pair of climbing shoes that I purchased as a beginning climber. My original attraction to this shoe was the price compared to other shoes on the market, especially since at the time I didn’t know much about climbing shoe performance or if climbing would be much more than an occasional hobby.

As I started to climb more, these shoes continued to perform well and give me confidence on the wall. Since these are a very neutral shoe with little to no downturn, they are very comfortable to wear throughout you session. The two velcro straps are also convenient when you want to take them off and slip them back on when your feet do need a break.
