This shoe really went beyond my expectations. Great quality to the build and very comfortable. The shoe design fits my style and the rubber is great. I will say that the shoe runs maybe a quarter size bigger than stated. If you care about a tight fit maybe size down more than you intend or understand you will have a slightly looser fit at the front of your toes.

After getting sick of shoe rentals and wanting a decent pair of my own shoes, I bought these from REI to up my climbing game. I bought these shoes while being a solid V4-V5 climber (currently around V7). The shoes are lightweight and aren’t terrible quality, but for the price, they’re definitely not worth it. It has no aggressive/firm toe whatsoever, meaning small chips are extremely hard to stay on while using these shoes. Additionally, the synthetic material means these shoes stink horribly after multiple uses. The shoes aren’t super comfy and don’t conform to the foot either. I now use La Sportiva Solutions (which is definitely in a higher price category) and I love them. All I can say is either get cheaper shoes if you’re a beginner, or better quality shoes as ... MoreAfter getting sick of shoe rentals and wanting a decent pair of my own shoes, I bought these from REI to up my climbing game.

All I can say is either get cheaper shoes if you’re a beginner, or better quality shoes as an investment if you’re an intermediate climber. These mid tier shoes cost way too much and aren’t comfortable, aren’t very effective, barely have any heel power, and slip off even with 2 sizes down. I can’t recommend them.

I've never written an online review before but I would love for Scarpa to make this shoe until the end of time. I've been climbing for a decade (5.13/v9) and this is the most comfortable shoe i've ever worn and still basically has a good performance as top end shoes like the Solution or Instinct. It's very soft, probably the softest I've worn, but can still edge , especially on overhangs. The heel is near perfect. The strap doesn't break. The rubber is Scarpa house made, but I think performs nearly as well as XS Grip 2 inside and out and lasts significantly longer. Backcountry often has the shoes for sale for $104! A deal that cannot be beat.Your feet wont hurt, performance is top tier. Thats it. Actually, thats not it...the design is very aesthetic as well, they ... MoreI've never written an online review before but I would love for Scarpa to make this shoe until the end of time.

Buy them so Scarpa keeps making them and we can all wear them for forever.I wear a 40.5 in Solutions, and a 41.5 in other Scarpas and the Veloce is PERFECT at 41 (M9to 9.5 street shoe). Both regular and LV (or women's whatever they call them) of this shoe are the same in my experience, so choose the color for you.Also, I didn't get anything for this review, but Backcountry does have great customer service and shipping. Maybe send me a special treat Backcountry if this review makes you beaucoups of $$$?

I’m at my third pair in as many years. I really like how soft they are. It allows them to really conform to my feet, making the break-in period minimal. They’re also really versatile on indoor walls for that reason. I didn’t give them 5 stars because I don’t like the closure system. The Velcro isn’t wide/strong enough and can sometimes come undone under serious load for say a heel hook with lots of torque. There’s also no adjustment for the placing of the Velcro patch so depending on your feet the strap might be too short or too long. For me, it’s too long and I have to shorten it by folding it back onto itself and tacking it closed to get the length I need to ensure maximum contact with the Velcro patch. But the shoe still performs really well and with more comfort ... MoreI’m at my third pair in as many years. I really like how soft they are.

I have a pair of Arpia's same size 42 and these are the same fit. I like these as much as the Arpia's. Great indoor shoe, much softer sole than the Arpia. The softer sole makes it very sticky and helpful when this is in need. I have actually worn one of each at a time where the edging of the harder sole Arpia and the sticky of the softer sole Veloce was advantages. These are very comfortable shoes with a bit of down turn :)
I love my pair of Veloce! They are more comfortable than other Scarpa shoes I've tried in the same size since the Veloce has a wider toe box.The Velcro strap seems pretty durable and makes the shoe easy to slip on and off.The S-72 rubber is super grippy and very confidence inspiring.I think these shoes are great in the gym but would recommend you size them more on the comfortable side since I'd say they are more of a training shoe compared to something like the Drago.My only complaint is the heel of the Veloce is a little bit lose on me, but I do have very narrow heels.
Overall these are magnificent shoes for the gym. If you're careful with footing, the super sticky rubber will endure 6 to 8 months of 3-4 days climbing/week. So amazing for slab or volume smears, decent on tiny footholds. The whole shoe is really supple so size at or just under your regular size. One minor flaw (at least for me) the heel cup is a touch slouchy so heel hooks are not that great, toe hooks are pretty good though. Essentially an amazing sensitive all rounder, that literally fits like a slipper. I have gone through three pairs, one at size 8.5, two at size 9. I also have a size 9 of the Scarpa Instinct VS, it is brutally small and hurts a bit, but heel hooks like a champ and is durable on tiny chippy foot holds. That being said, most of my successful ... MoreOverall these are magnificent shoes for the gym.

I loved these shoes. The fit is good, if a little wide for narrow feet. They are extremely comfortable. The rubber is on the softer side, so they perform well with basically no break-in at all. However, they do wear out fast as a result of the softer rubber. These lasted about 6 months doing indoor boulder 2-4 times a week, before I wore a hole right through the toe.
I’ve owned a lot of shoes, almost all La Sportiva. This shoe is closest to the Skwama, but is softer, narrower, and a little less capable. However I really like it as a gym shoe. I generally climb in the 5.12/v7 range comfortably and haven’t thought of my feet as a limiting factor. They feel slipper like, very comfortable, but they don’t breath much. I think my feet sweat more in these than any of my other shoes.
Ok. So I had a really long thing that the REI website decided to throw away. I'm going to try and rewrite it from memory, but my patience is a bit thinner now.According to Scarpa, these shoes are beginner's shoes for indoor climbing. They are meant to be soft, sensitive, grippy and comfortable. They are kind of like Dragos for beginners/poor folks. They have the same midsole as the Drago, tension system modified from the Furia Air, and a new heel system that is a lot more sensitive than their other moderately-priced shoes. These really let you know when your footwork is less than precise (all the time for me...), which is probably a nice change of pace for anyone still using stiffer shoes.The shoe has a slipper construction with 2-ish panels. The inner is pretty ... MoreOk. So I had a really long thing that the REI website decided to throw away.

These really let you know when your footwork is less than precise (all the time for me...), which is probably a nice change of pace for anyone still using stiffer shoes.The shoe has a slipper construction with 2-ish panels. The inner is pretty much all microfiber which is really comfortable but more smelly than leather. It will break in, but won't stretch all that much beyond what you get initially. There is a bit more room in the front and this combined with the relatively soft tension in the heel means that most people will be able to size down a bit from what they are used to. This heel has more volume in the achilles area than most Scarpas and La Sportivas. This is good for some (like me), and bad for others. Basically, if I don't see anyone complaining about heels slipping, I won't be able to get my heel all they way to the back of the shoe without undersizing enough to crush my toes. If you find the tension systems in other shoes crushing your toes or heels, give these a try.These shoes remind me of the Tenaya Mundakas in a lot of ways, except softer and more sensitive, with a somewhat larger toe box. The other shoe that fits me really well is the Evolv Shaman, but that shoe is more aggressive, stiffer, and less sensitive (still a great shoe, just different). If you like the concept of a soft and relatively inexpensive shoe for indoor climbing, but the Veloce doesn't fit, try out the Evolv X1.
