We asked the Brands a few questions about their product and their company.
This is what they told us:

Boulderers? Aren‘t those the guys who are hanging on their 45 degree overhanging boulder wall in dark cellars and train for hard outdoor climbing projects? Wait a minute - bouldering really can‘t be reduced to that! More and more girls and boys join this wonderful outdoor sport and start to train in the bouldering gyms, which are sprouting up like mushrooms everywhere. People meet to chat, get to know new people and work together on solutions for all the colourful routes. For us, the nice thing about bouldering is that, in addition to raw power, a large portion of creativity, body awareness and flexibility are required here. Bouldering is probably one of the most versatile sports which doesn’t cast a spell over any particular group. In the bouldering gym, old and young, big and small meet - gender doesn‘t matter. So, what could be more obvious than developing a bouldering shoe that is perfectly tailored to this wonderful, versatile sport? With the Veloce, SCARPA designed a bouldering shoe that is slightly wider in the forefoot and thus has an extremely comfortable fit. It is produced in a men‘s version and a women‘s version, which differ not only in colour. The women‘s version „Veloce Wmn“ uses a last specially tailored to the women‘s foot, which is cut narrower and has a less voluminous heel. SCARPA‘s PAF system is used on the heel, which by interrupting the elastic strap ensures an even better fit on the Achilles heel. The extremely soft S-72 sole rubber was developed in collaboration with an Italian company especially for climbing walls and climbing holds.

What makes your product a perfectly developed PIECE OF GEAR FOR WOMEN?

Stiff and aggressive shoes for small footholds? That is not really what you need for bouldering anymore. The style of bouldering, and also the audience changed a lot in the last few years. The style is much more movement-based and the climbing holds in gyms become bigger and often slopier. We take bouldering a chance to meet our friends, to learn new movements and to have fun together. Therefore we need a shoe which is not hard and painful to wear, but a shoe which is incredibly sensitive, more comfortable and extremely sticky. In addition, the shoe is handmade by SCARPA, in Asolo (Italy) and it‘s possible to resole the product serveral times. Here we go – Veloce Wmn is what you are looking for!

"Tell us more about your COMPANY / PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY... "

At SCARPA Sustainability is a natural imperative; it has always guided our way of doing business.
No shoe can be 100% sustainable. This is why our perpetual goal is to improve the environmental and social sustainability profile of everything we do throughout the entire life cycle, from raw materials to product recycling. Our path to sustainable innovation is concrete, it has measurable targets and uses the world’s most robust assessment standards as a benchmark. This makes the authentic vision of our commitment clear, to ourselves and our stakeholders.
Care and attention are at the core of every SCARPA product, in order to achieve maximum quality and durability. This, too, is sustainability: Care for the product, Care for people and Care for the Earth. You have the knowledge that your shoes - the extreme point of connection between a human being and planet Earth - will do their job and create a symbiotic relationship with the elements, be it or a: rock, snow, ice or soil. But for us care is also about concern and awareness, to ensure working conditions and processes are always respectful of nature and, most importantly, people.
At SCARPA, our vocation is the outdoors, the open air, an active yet relaxed lifestyle that prefers the slow-paced feel of a walk, the effort of the ascent and the enjoyment of contemplating the landscape. Air and freedom are basic human needs. We are animals that have evolved over millions of years, interdependent with nature. Spend a few minutes in nature and you’ll quickly rediscover what moves you deep inside. We build houses, places for work and vehicles to travel faster, but our true nature is to live outside, breathe, move with our own bodies. This is because our desire to explore, to reach for the top can also be felt in the small things; it becomes a way of tackling situations, a metaphor for life. We are all connected by a single thread, like in a rope team.
For SCARPA, respect is the highest form of devotion and recognition. It is the very foundation of coexistence and regards not only relationships between human beings, but also those between human beings and the mountains, between human beings and the environment. Treat others the way you want to be treated is the Golden Rule that translates respect into practice, and it has been known throughout millennia by every culture on the planet. When you abide by this rule, everything improves. And vice-versa. Mountaineers and climbers know it all too well: a mountain demands respect. The attention it deserves is without fear, but with the awareness that there’s no room for superficiality, that the only possible way to tackle an ascent is with a focused mind. Respect also means knowing the rules, adopting the best quality standards, certifying excellence with the humility of a quick learner. We want to do more. We want to make respect our way of life: everything we do stems from this awareness.
SCARPA is a technical company. We have been at the cutting edge of technology ever since our inception. Our passion is to make the highest-performing products that are as sustainable as possible. It is not about being first to the top; it is not about speed. It is about goals and results. Our new eco products maintain the essential reliability that our customers have come to trust, while being sensitive to the environment: they use innovative technologies and processes, biodegradable and plant-based materials, non-polluting water-based adhesives and recycled paper packaging.
Our idea of performance embraces a broader philosophy, not just athletic results: it means being the best version of oneself at each moment and in every setting. SCARPA is as you see it, authentic, no filters. Our history speaks volumes about us: opened in 1938, our company grew year after year through experiences, innovative ideas and goals.
A sustainable growth strategy, made to last. It has been a slow journey, traveled with preparation, humility, commitment and determination together with our partners and all the mountaineers and climbers who never stopped believing in us and helped us to better ourselves. And it has been a real journey, always at our customers’ side, the enthusiasts we have accompanied, supported and encouraged in their personal itinerary to do their personal best. No aim is too high when the strength that moves us is authentic and deeply rooted. The product in vegan friendly
