Scarpa Highball Shoes

Product Information

From creating a greener factory, to producing their first biodegradable shoe, Scarpa’s goal is to improve the environmental and social sustainability profile of everything they do, throughout the entire life cycle, from raw materials to product recycling. Underfoot cushioning is provided through the EVA wedge and underfoot grip is enhanced with the technical Vibram sole package. Speed through rugged terrain with confidence – these shoes have everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The main feature of interest in the Gecko is the sole, described by Scarpa as a PRESA sole with a medium-density compressed EVA midsole.

Born and bred in the Dolomites of Italy, these shoes deliver what we consider “functional minimalism”. I am also informed by those with opinions more reliable than mine on these matters that they are "quite stylish, Dad". Born in the foothills of the Dolomites Scarpa has been a world leader in footwear design and development for over 80 years.The combination of a precise last, the extended lacing, a protective rubber rand and the sole with little pronounced lugs and climbing zone for an excellent sensitivity and grip, make GECKO the perfect connection between climbing and technical approach. A reasonable degree of water resistance means you can be fairly sure of staying dry on wet ground, although they aren't 100% waterproof. A tough suede leather upper protects your foot against abrasion and slips under the radar when it comes to carrying out mundane everyday tasks. Inspired by our Vitamin/Crux and Oxygen this cocktail of soft strobel construction and long to toe lacing provide great fit and adaptability.

There is a small 'climbing zone' on the front inner toe which is an attempt to emulate the friction you get in rock shoes. Their latest instalment into this range is the Highball, which puts classic Scarpa styling into a surprisingly capable package. Inspired by a passion for the mountains and a proud history of artisan craftsmanship, Scarpa have become the complete outdoor footwear brand.

We recommend that during the Home Trial Period that you wear the boots for as long as possible and at different times of the day, wear them up and down stairs, when moving around and when resting, you can even sleep in them if you want. Lacing up-to-the-toe provides great fit and adaptability letting you adjust the toe area as well as the rest of the foot for all over comfort and support making the Highballs perfect for those with unusual foot shapes.
