Product description
The Gecko approach shoes from Scarpa are the ideal partners for approaches!
Featuring a water-repellent leather upper, they’re guaranteed to be both tough and durable. Plus, the shoes are super breathable, so moisture won’t accumulate inside the shoes. In addition, high-wear areas, such as the heels and toes, are equipped with durable reinforcements that’ll protect you and the material against abrasions. As for the fit, it’s optimized by the extended lacing.
In addition, they’re equipped with non-slip outsoles, so you’ll always have optimal traction when you’re out on different terrain, and the climbing zone in the front of the sole provides more feeling during climbing passages. Most importantly, they have a cushioning midsole, so long-lasting comfort is guaranteed.
The Gecko are versatile shoes that are not only perfect for approaches, but also hill walking!
