Closeouts. Scarpa's aggressive Sphinx climbing shoes are designed for the advanced to expert climber. Vibram® XSgrip outsole dishes out some serious friction for edging, smearing and jamming.
Climbing and other related activities are inherently dangerous; anyone purchasing or using equipment for this purpose is personally responsible for getting proper instruction on its correct and safe use
I love these shoes. They are aggressive without being painful. The Vibram XS Grip is super sticky and I find I am very confident with my footwork in these shoes. Edging performance is terrific. The feel is somewhat similar to the Sportiva Miura but more aggressive and downturned. I've worn them on routes up to 5.12 with success. I also have the Rockettes which are more downturned and I like them too but they kill my feet on long routes. I did go half size bigger on these Sphinxs because I wanted a shoe for long routes and long days outside and I feel that I didn't give up much in performance by doing that. (For reference, I am size 7 street, 37 Rockettes, 37.5 Sphinx and 35.5 Miura).
