The Scarpa Gecko shoes are Scarpa’s most technical approach shoes. The upper is water-resistant suede to withstand the abuse of rocky terrain, but still molds to the foot for a glove-like fit. A lace-to-toe closure system is super adaptable, whether you want to tighten it for technical terrain or pull it back for more casual wear, and it also adapts to a variety of foot shapes. The rubber toe cap is overlapped, protecting the upper and midsole from abrasion.
The Gecko features a hybrid construction: it has a durable plate in the rearfoot for structure and torsional stability, and extends into the forefoot for maximum flexibility and responsiveness. Dual density EVA midsole balances support with cushioning, suitable for moderate to long approaches with a backpack. The new Presa outsole has a medium density compressed EVA midsole with a solid and compact look. The outsole is made of SuperGum compound, capable of combining extraordinary grip and durability. The large climbing zones offer excellent sensitivity, grip and pinpoint accuracy.

Technology:
– OrthoLite
OrthoLite sockliners offer excellent cushioning thanks to their triple layer compressed layer construction that improve the way your feet fit the shoes. They are highly breathable, being made of polyurethane and manage moisture perfectly. Plus, they are lightweight and can be machine washed.
– Presa
Presa is the final result of internal R&D research on the sole. An environment of technological exploration and innovation, where experience and scientific research merge. This is Scarpa’s approach: an R&D department to study, analyse and develop the best soles. Presa combines midsoles, composites and design to get the maximum performance from a sole, it is in fact the careful blending of these three elements that makes Presa products so innovative.
– SuperGum
Exclusive to Scarpa the SuperGum rubber compound was developed to provide equal or better slip resistance compared to other high friction rubbers, but with far superior abrasion resistance. It was formulated to offer high friction performance in both wet and dry conditions, but at the same time offers 3 times more abrasion resistance.
– Eco
Products made of environmentally friendly materials refer to products in which the materials and processes are specifically chosen for their environmentally friendly characteristics.
