APPROACH ANYTHING WITH SCARPA

At SCARPA, we view Approach shoes as an essential tool for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors or in varied terrain: from jagged talus, high alpine ridge lines, technical terrain that requires climbing and smearing, to concrete and bike pedals on the way to the climbing gym, or just wearing them to the pub after a long day of roadside cragging. SCARPA Approach shoes can handle any terrain you throw at them.
