Size Chart

All SCARPA footwear uses Europeansizing, except for the skiing boots.

  •  1 Euro whole size = 6.6 mm = 0.26 inches
  • 1 US whole size = 8.4 mm = 0.33 inches
  • Euro sizes provide a better, more precise fit for your intended use
  • Only Ski mountaineering and telemark skiing boots are in MONDOPOINT size.

Upsize (½ sizes) depending on desired fit for mountaineering boots.

For climbing shoes, the choice of downsizing (1 size) depends on the desired fit. In other shoes, you need a gap between the toes and the front of the toe box, which is necessary for walking. In climbing shoes, it is preferable to eliminate gaps, to increase sensitivity and precision when climbing.

All SCARPA's ski mountaineering and telemark skiing boots ski measured in Mondo sizing. SCARPA ski boots break on the half size, this means that a half size shares the same shell length as the whole size above it but the liners are lasted for each ½ size. For example, a 25.5 and 26.0 are the same shell size but the respective liners come pre-molded to the half size. Some skiers may want to downsize up to 1 full Mondo size, depending upon personal preference.

PAF TENSION SYSTEM Climbing SCARPA

PAF SYSTEM

An innovative method of heel construction that improves force distribution and reduces pressure on the achilles tendon, thanks to a softer rubber “bridge” that connects the two flaps of the tension system, promoting optimal adaptation to the shape of the foot. The number of holes on the rubber indicates the level of tension: 1 hole for low tension, 2 holes for medium tension, 3 holes for maximum tension.
Icon

PCB-TENSION

The most minimalist tensioning system designed for maximum grip and sensitivity. Designed to work seamlessly with the SRT system, the Power Connection Band minimizes layers and distance between the foot and sole, ensuring total freedom of movement.
Icon

SRT SURROUND RUBBER TENSION

The system that represents the key technology of the Soft Line models: Chimera, Drago and Furia S. It is an extremely soft M50 rubber layer that completely wraps around the forefoot, providing maximum foot sensitivity and grip for every toe hook. Using soft shoes like these means improving one's climbing style by naturally increasing power to the tips of the toes. SRT allows the foot to spread out on any spot on the wall, offering total freedom that facilitates faster and more dynamic movements, both on rock and artificial walls.
Icon

TPS

Preshaped insert placed under the forefoot provides an anatomical fit at the front of the shoe. TPS improves toe support during stance on small notches, increasing engagement ability and accuracy. When spreading, the system allows the foot to spread out to increase the contact area of the shoe with the rock to provide greater grip.

Developed in collaboration with Davos®, it has a Shore A rating of 50, offering a high wrapping ability. Its features make it particularly suitable for the SRT system, toe cap coverings, and targeted applications on the upper.
Icon

VIBRAM XS GRIP2 RUBBER

The natural evolution of the Vibram® XS GRIP compound, widely used by world-class athletes in bouldering. Featuring significantly improved grip, it offers an excellent level of compactness, ideal for working on edges and moderately inclined holds. It also ensures consistent performance in all temperatures. It is the recommended choice for applications that require the maximum level of adhesion.
