One of the all-time classic shoes, everyone knows the scarpa helix. This is the latest incarnation and it remains one of the most popular shoes in the line. The original, classic randing of a flat profile over a relatively symmetrical footprint are all retained. Now we see more comfort and refinement built into the shoe than ever before with addition of a padded tongue, and a heel cup that is inherited from the more advanced techno family. Improved adjustability of fit is a new feature with lacing that runs further down toward the toe. The helix upgrade is completed with the addition of vibram xs edge rubber.

Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA, a muti-generational, family-owned business whose headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in the same region of northern Italy where it was founded in 1938. SCARPA builds performance footwear for climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and other outdoor pursuits. Aside from being the Italian word for “shoe,” SCARPA is an acronym for Societa Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima (Associated Shoe Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Mountain Area).
