Helix

After almost a year at 4 sessions a week, their Helix has holes in the rubber at both big toes.

Their Helix are a half size larger than their Instincts.

Wears Helix in a 49, now broken in and comfortable enough to walk around the gym in for 2-3 hours.

Loves their Helix as a first shoe; it got them to V6 before moving to Dragos.

Wore Helix shoes through their first year, neutral and super comfortable once broken in.

Their older-model Helix is okay in the gym but doesn't work well on small holds and isn't very supportive.

After the Kiras, the Scarpa Helix was one of their favourite shoes.

Has very narrow heels and wears the Helix: comfy beginner shoe that still lets them climb 5.11 in the gym.

The Helix were tight on the heel but stretched quickly; fine to wear a whole session.

Loves the Helix for slabs, having moved over from the Instincts, which gave them holes in the toes after six months.

Calls the Helix a classic neutral shoe that's pretty decent at everything, which a climbing partner uses for V7 and hard all-day desert trad.

Started on the Helix as a 200 lb climber: a great beginner shoe.

Their Scarpa Helix in street size ticks most boxes, though it's more of a rope shoe.

Has rocked the Scarpa Helix for 6 months on wide feet, but the harder rubber now slips off some toe holds.

With wide feet, the Scarpa Helix is among the best shoes they've found.

Found the best fit for their wide, high-instep feet in the Scarpa Helix: the soft leather accommodates volume and the laces help high arches.

Their first shoes, the Scarpa Helix, are now their shoe for longer outdoor days and routes.

The Scarpa Helix women's was their first shoe and fit them well.

Really enjoying the Scarpa Helix: very neutral so their feet aren't uncomfortable; a heel-lock lacing keeps the heel stable.

Likes the Scarpa Helix for warming up and finds it great on slab.

The Helix was their first shoe, worn five months; it fit their heel best and moulded to their feet, though it's a beginner shoe.

Their first pair was the Scarpa Helix, which worked for 4E-wide Greek feet since they could loosen the front laces and tighten the back.

The Scarpa Helix is their favourite basic shoe; nothing else has fit better.

Uses Helixes as typical gym shoes and keeps them on and tied for up to six pitches outside.

Scarpa Helixes are their current multipitch shoe and the most comfortable climbing shoes they've had.

Their Scarpa Helix first shoes are overall really nice, but the comically long laces catch and make taking them off annoying.

The Helix was their first shoe and they loved it: like Tarantulaces but better quality and rubber; it stretched a lot but gave great bang for the buck.

Their Scarpa Helix lasted almost 2 years.

Climbed easy multipitch in the Scarpa Helix for the longest time.
