Over two years of study and research have led to the creation of the Scarpa Generator, the shoe that guarantees top performance for Trad Climbers combining excellent comfort and protection for prolonged use on big walls and cracks.
Features:
Active Randing: The PAF System is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension and increase the fit of the heel. Tri-tension active randing system gives integral support to the foot while under pressure and maintains flex for smearing.
Lacing: Lacing designed for greater protection during crack climbing.
Sole: Vibram XS Edge 4mm full sole for great stability on small edges.
Upper: The 2mm suede, chromo-free, padded upper provides comfort, wicking and protection without bulk.
Technologies:
Tri-Tension: Tri-Tension has been especially designed for use in Scarpa shoes that have a 1/3 (or less) outsole. Simply, it holds the foot from below like a big hand and acts like a power transfer from the toes to the heel.
PAF System: PAF is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension, which also helps with over-compression of the toe box, and increase the fit of the heel. The aggressive tension-rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon and connected with softer rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied, which varies between 1 hole for light tension, 2 holes for mid tension and 3 holes for strong tension.
M70 Rubber: M70 is a rubber compound that offers good levels of adaptability and containment in the same time. This rubber compound gives a Shore A rating of 70, making it perfect for use on toe rands and strategic positioning around the shoe upper.
VIBRAM® XS Edge: Developed to provide maximum edging support, the VIBRAM® XS Edge compound delivers excellent pure grip while adding improved firmness for the most challenging edging moves. Thanks to an improved resistance to plastic distortion, it keeps its shape even after hours of use, maintains consistent feel in both hot and cold temperatures, and is formulated for improved durability.
