Designed specifically for indoor climbing, the Scarpa Veloce climbing shoes are very comfortable thanks to their roomy toe box and soft construction. The rubber sole provides plenty of grip and flexibility. The shoe was originally designed for beginners, but this sensitive, sock-like shoe is suitable for all climbers.

A solid mid-range shoe for intermediate use, suitable for foot shapes ranging from narrow to wide—though not exceptionally wide. The width is likely perfect for an average foot; it feels loose on a narrow foot and tight on a truly wide one.
The heel cup is very spacious in all directions. For a short, wide foot with a narrow, low-profile heel, choosing a size small enough to keep the heel from slipping out when lifting the foot off the ground results in constant toe discomfort. Yet, there is still plenty of empty space on the sides of the heel cup.
The rubber at the toe is thin, offering good sensitivity for the toes, but sensitivity is lacking through the thick rubber of the sole.
Due to the extensive rubber coverage and bonding in the toe area, the shoe hasn't really molded to the foot even after some twenty hours of climbing.| Overall rating |
Excellent, comfortable and soft shoe. I don't think you should get this in a size that is too small (uncomfortable), because then you lose comfort, and you can't really replace it. I currently use this indoors about 95% of the time, and outdoors about 80-90%. The limitation is the tight hooks and small gaiters, but otherwise a really functional all-purpose shoe. Did I already say it's comfortable?
