Why We Like The Furia S Climbing Shoe
Steep lines and small holds call for a shoe that can deliver high performance. Scarpa built the Furia S with a sensitive feel to easily find those small crystals and dime edges to position your toes on. Vibram XS Grip2 rubber sole then sticks to those tiny features so you can confidently position your body weight while you make your move from one hold to the next. The heel cup hugs your foot giving not just a snug feeling, but also a secure feeling while holding a heel hook.

Unfortunate heel design

I don't understand why Scarpa decided not to place XS Grip heel rubber over the Internal Power RIb. Personally, I'll be sticking with the Drago and Chimera as my two boot soft shoe quiver. Regardless, even if there were proper heel rubber on the Furia S, I would still opt for the other two models. See photo of an early iteration that Scarpa did NOT go with and compare it to heel depicted in the product images. In reply to Matt's comment below, I contacted Scarpa about why the Internal Power Rib was not sticky rubber and the rep stated I was correct, and in his opinion was a design flaw. If you notice on the new Booster's that the internal heel piece is M50 rubber, which is super sticky and textured. The Internal Power Rib on the Furia S is not sticky rubber. And yes, I was able to try the shoe. One does not need to get bent by a negative review if your opinion is different. All reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. In my opinion, the different colored Internal Power Rib was simply a marketing gimmick and that the other shoes in their lineup are much better options.

I bought these after as a follow on to my vapors. Being that they are more aggressive I went a half size up from 10.5 to 11. My vapors were super small so they hurt to break in so I suspected these to be the same. To my surprise they aren?t nearly as uncomfortable. The first time I tried the on in the gym I was a little suspicious they felt big and baggy and they didn?t feel as snug on my foot. It also seemed like there was a lot of material on top that just was in excess. However, they feel very good on the wall. Indoors I feel like if I put my toe on something it just is trustworthy and outdoors I feel like they do a great job bending and shaping to tiny toe chips. It just feels like I can get more rubber in contact with the rock due to the soft soles. The rubber on top is kind of nice too, providing extra traction when jamming. I can?t really speak to the durability yet since I?ve had them for only about 10 weeks. However, I climb usually 5-6 times per week for about 3-4 hours per session. Usually one of those is outdoors. So far they are holding up okay.
