SCARPA's Helix shoes grew in popularity among trad climbers and beginners, and the SCARPA Men's Helix V Climbing Shoe adds hook-and-loop straps for a quicker and easier closure. It has a comfortable flat profile combined with the slightest asymmetry, putting a bit of pressure on the big toe for a better performance compared to your average beginner shoe. Vibram's firmest rubber compound keeps a sharp traction on microscopic edges, and a full-length midsole maintains support for slab and vert cruxes alike.
