Scarpa Chimera Climbing Shoe

Chimera Climbing Shoe

If energetic, precise footwork is an art form, then the Chimera Climbing Shoe is our instrument of choice. Along with featuring soft, sticky rubber that adapts on the fly, it uses a minimalist midsole to distribute toe power to the rest of the shoe for dynamic jumps and reachy clips alike. The aggressive downturn and split sole keep us fluid on overhung features when we're tied in or trusting our spotters, making this shoe a must-have for checking off projects and perfecting our footwork.

As if boostic and drago had a child.

Familiarity:: I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:: 41.5
Height:: 5' 6"
Weight:: 170

It's like taking drago and putting the classic boosting heel in it. Making it slightly less soft and a bit more asymmetrical. If you liked drago you are going to love these, I mostly use them indoors and they have been doing magic. I lost a pair on the subway and got a second pair. Downsized by half a size...
