Scarpa Blackbird Climbing Shoes
Why we picked it
A stiff-when-you-need-it, soft-when-you-don't shoe is the holy grail of climbing footwear, and we want to see if carbon actually pulls it off. Also one of the few performance shoes built to be resoled.
SCARPA's first carbon-midsole climbing shoe, six years in development, pairing a 3D-molded carbon-enhanced Pebax plate with a soft microfiber upper for front-pointing power on small holds without toe fatigue.
