Walking up to do a route like Eldorado Canyon&#8217;s classic, Rewritten (5.7), we rely on the solid foundation of the Vibram\u00ae&nbsp;Vertical Approach sticky sole, with engineered EVA for comfort and support. Once on route, the climbing zone under the toes keeps us relaxed and happy. Kevlar\u00ae&nbsp;webbing on the natural suede upper retains its shape and to-the-toe lacing lets us customize the fit while on the move. At such a competitive price, it&#8217;s hard to believe you get a shoe this ready to charge.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scarpa Crux is so nice I bought it twice.
