    Amazing shoe for technical climbing

    It’s easy to see why people are obsessed with these shoes. There is really no comparison for technical edging. I feel more confident on small edges in these shoes than any others, even once they are broken in.

    I appreciate that these shoes maintain their performance throughout the day on multi-pitch climbs with a variety of styles.

    I sized these the same as my Instincts and other Scarpa shoes and they’ve felt perfect from a performance and comfort perspective.

    I’ve been really impressed by this version of the shoe and would highly recommend!

    Best stiff edging shoe!

    The Boostic R is a return of the old Boostic - a favorite for technical edging and standing on the smallest of feet. I can confidently say that many of the routes I have climbed, I could not have done in any other shoe. This includes routes ranging in styles from Pineapple Express on El Capitan to many hard sandstone multipitches to single pitch sport routes. In technical, vertical terrain, the stiffness of the shoe allows me to stand as tall as possible on dime edge feet - I can reach noticeably farther when wearing the Boostic as opposed to a softer shoe. In steeper terrain, it allows me to maximize knee bars because I can push so much pressure through my knee due to the stiffness of the shoe. The supportiveness also helps in reducing foot fatigue on long routes or back to back days of climbing such as on a big wall. They may not be the most comfortable shoe out of the box, but they are certainly the most proficient in a wide variety of applications, namely technical edging and toeing in on the tiniest features of rock. The only downside is that the Boostic R seems to loose it's stiffness slightly faster than the Original Parrot Boostic. Sizing wise: I wear the same size in these as I would for any Scarpa shoe. Ex: a performance size Drago or Instinct would be the same as a performance size in the Boostic R.

    Better, but still not the same

    The original Boostic is my favorite shoe of all time and the model that made me fall in love with SCARPA. While I'm sad to say that this updated version is not as stiff as the OG, it still performs far better than anything else I've found for highly technical climbs with small footholds. Plus I think the color is much better, too! Runs a little bit smaller than the original though, so I'd recommend going a half size up.

    Wonderful performance edging shoe.

    I'm very happy the performance of the new Boostic. The shoe edges, hooks and pulls very well. I've been using the shoe on highly technical and vertical to slightly overhung basalt routes and it has performed extremely well. The toe is very precise and inspires confidence on the smallest of edges. The sizing seems to be similar to the instinct line if not ever so slightly smaller than my Instincts.
