FEATURES
UPPER
Multi-panel upper with seamless Alcantara big toe panel extending under the ball of the foot and seamless four-toe panel for the best custom molding fit. Soft touch Microfiber fabric in the heel giving a second skin fit with top level sensitivity.
INSOLE
¾ length Flexan 1 mm for good edging support.
ACTIVE RANDING
SF works like a hand, wrapping the foot from below and firmly holding it in position. The single rubber piece protection randing around the toe area is a highly effective tension system at the same time. The advantage of the single piece is that there are no interruptions, like in multi-piece constructions, and it follows and adapts pefectly to the dynamics of foot movements.
SOLE
3.5mm Vibram® XS Grip 2 sole.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
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 improves the fit of the heel. Providing uninterrupted contact with the rock (thanks to less seams and rubber joints around the heel) the PAF system is a top choice for Scarpa΄s leading outdoor athletes with the likes of Aidan Roberts (see his use of the Instinct Lace WMN΄s on his recent ascent of Isles of Wonder SS 8C+) and Dan Varian opting for Scarpa models that feature the PAF 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 adaptation 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.
SRT System
M50 is Scarpa΄s softest rubber compound offering the best levels of adaptability to the natural profile of the foot and toes. This morphing rubber compound gives a Shore A rating of 50, making it perfect for use in the SRT system (see tension systems above for more information), toe patches and strategic positioning around the shoe upper

XS GRIP2
Vibram XS GRIP2 represents the natural evolution of Vibram XS GRIP. Used by many bouldering world championship winners. Vibram XS GRIP2 delivers measurably improved grip with a level of firmness ideal for moderate edging and slope holds, while maintaining consistent performance in all temperatures. Vibram XS GRIP2 is recommended for sitiuations that demand the maximum grip.
