Combining technical features with a soft cushioned heel, the Force X feels fantastic on & inspires confidence on technical routes both indoors & outside. The Velcro straps are connected to the toe & heel are using the V-Tension system inherited from the more technical Scarpa rock shoes. V-Tension gives a more precise fit & directs more power to the toe area without crippling your feet. Vibram XS Edge compound soles provide maximum edging friction & support by improving the firmness of the compound around the edge of the sole. Thanks to enhanced resistance to distortion the sole edges will keep their crispness & retain their shape even after hours of hard use. Smearing on the centre of the sole is not compromised, making the Force X a true all round performer.
