The Scarpa Helix has long been a favorite among beginner and intermediate climbers, alpine guides, and seasoned trad veterans looking for a comfortable, all-day performer. With a flat-lasted profile and slightly asymmetric shape, the Helix offers a balanced combination of comfort, edging precision, and versatility across varied climbing disciplines—from long, moderate multi-pitch climbs to gym sessions and granite slabs.
Crafted with a supple 1.8mm suede leather upper, the shoe naturally conforms to the shape of your foot over time, offering a glove-like fit that only improves with wear. The lace-to-toe closure system ensures secure adjustability for different foot shapes and climbing styles, while a lightly padded tongue adds extra cushioning for extended wear. Underfoot, the full-length 1.4mm nylon midsole provides support for edging and standing on small holds without compromising sensitivity. The durable 4mm Vibram® XS Edge rubber outsole is known for its industry-leading grip, edging stability, and long wear life—giving you confidence whether you're crimping on limestone or smearing up sandstone slabs.
Scarpa’s Passive Randing system offers a supportive yet unaggressive tensioning structure, ideal for long-duration climbs where comfort is critical. Combined with a lightly cushioned heel cup and PFAS-free construction, the Helix is built to handle everything from gym mileage to backcountry towers—without sacrificing environmental responsibility.
