Scarpa Mago Climbing Shoe Review


Hi,
We just wanted to give our review on the Scarpa Mago's that we bought somewhere back in 2009. We both bought them during a sale in a climbing gym in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

The size might have been slightly on the small side but they became quickly more comfortable when using them. As soon as the noose became a little less edgy and round, immediately the nice down turn nose became very accurate as well as indoors and outdoor routes. The nice stiff sole gave good support to stand on the smallest foot holds and giving us a kind feeling of being more in control on the rock. More and more they became our best shoes ever for indoor and outdoor climbs regardless the type of routes and rock. The upper layer of leather and the tow nose of rubber gave excellent protection when climbing traditional cracks. Great feet jamming! It might sound strange but we became very attached to them and have resoled them a couple of times which did not give any disadvantages.

Now after 8 years of service and the nose showing big holes and although the upper leather part is still looking fine we regretfully think we have to say goodbye to them.

San bought already here new pair of Mago’s and continues to use them.
Thanks Scarpa for making these magnificent shoes. 1. Scarpa Mago2. Scarpa Mago3. Scarpa Mago
