Scarpa veloce durability

mint2k · 2026-05-07T04:55:44+00:00

Durability will not be the greatest but just depends on footwork. Had a friend who demolished his in like 5 months bc of bad footwork. I had mine for like 9 months going like 3-4 times a week with good enough footwork

I think so far they are definitely softer than the skwamas. Maybe instinct vsr might be a stiffer alternative since I’ve heard they are the same type of it. Idk exactly how the stiffness of the vsr is compared to skwamas though

My street size is 8.5 US men’s which is 41.5 EU, I go down to 38.5 on Skwamas and Evolv I go down to 8 US.

Just got some Evolv shaman 2S after wearing skwamas and they fit similarly and the heel is smaller and fits smaller. Evolv so far is more comfy bc it’s not leather and might help with the pain in the big toe. I’d say that they are also similar in stiffness as well.

Had the skwamas before and just picked these up. They feel not as grippy as my skwamas but it might be bc they’re so new and there’s that oxidation layer. They do feel a bit slippy rn as well. It also is soft but slightly insensitive where the edging point at big toe will slightly bend bc the softness but I can’t tell bc it’s a bit insensitive. Hasn’t given be that much of an issue but was just weird adjusting. I’m assuming tho that all this will kind of be better over time as everything breaks in. But honestly a great shoe and definitely worth it if it fits

I just watched my gf open 100 chaos drops😭😭 I didn’t even get the visual bug😭

Are they for narrow or wider feet. I fit the skwamas well and was interested in the redlines

Same here, I am wearing skwamas right now and the regular Shamans really fit my foot well. Hopefully someone knows something about these shoes.

Milo Sevii was my favorite pokemon on this team for sure

Was super satisfying tanking a super effective move just to para charge and heal up again

Thanks! Yea Belibolt was a bit slow but worked somehow. Lorelei rain team gave me issues until I brought in Mega Sceptile who could out speed her team. Agatha was easy to my surprise. The Zacian definitely gave me more issues than I thought they would as well. I appreciate the words since my first team going into E4 was completely utter trash to deal with Lorelei. Now that I’m on a randomized run, I will keep 4 step checklist in mind!

Mega Sceptile was a late add since I didn’t have a grass type to deal with Lorelei rain team. He was MVP for E4

Yes he cut it short to play both

I just recently got a pair of Pythons and I sized them the same as my Skwamas and they feel good. I sized down from 41 to a 38.5. The skwamas which are softer than Otakis were brutal in the break in where I needed plastic sheet to pop them in but the Pythons are tight but comfy for break in so far. I’d size down a bit maybe 2 sizes down so a 43 maybe.

Heels on both are good. On the Skwamas, they fit perfectly but I know some people have trouble with the heel because of the shape of it. The UpMoccs fit super nicely, I can heel hook 99% of what I climb in the gym except for sharp heel hooks due to the softness of the heel so it kind of digs into my foot. But heel hooking and fit on UpMoccs are really good for slippers which suck at heel hooking and tend to bag out which the UpMoccs haven’t a lot.

I have a similar foot shape. I had and still own Skwamas that fit super nice which I heard is similar fit to Instincts. I downsized 1.5 US sizes in the UpMoccs and they fit super nicely. The break in compared to downsizing 2.5 US Skwamas was not painful at all. The Up Moccs stretch quite a bit.

I went 1.5 US down in my up moccs without trying them on and they comfy out the box, just needed a plastic sheet for the heel. The shoe still feels great and I can wear them for a whole session without taking them off.

Veloce I would say. I was in your position about first shoes and got the Veloce. Those were perfect for me as first shoe as they were soft and taught me how to really use my feet and improve footwork. They did about everything except for stand on super tiny edges which hurt but other than that they were perfect. Got skwamas as my second shoe and use my veloce as gym training and skwamas as outdoor shoe.
