Scarpa's new Boostic (available since March 2012) is designed to bring together elements from four other shoes in the range - the Stix, Booster, Mago, Rockette - and make the most of all their best features. Apparently it has the toe power of these top end boots combined with a one-piece full-length sole to add additional power. The rubber is Vibram XS Edge and it has some extra sticky pieces over the toe for delicate toe hooking.
Steve Roberts from Scarpa talks to UKC about the shoe's features below...
Upper: Lorica and Suede
Sole: Vibram XS Edge
Last: FZ
Weight: 240g (Men's 40)
