Veloce

Their first Veloce in 42.5 was comfy at first but the heel got a bit baggy after break-in, so they sized down for the second pair.

Their Veloce is the most comfortable climbing shoe they've had: soft, really good indoors for slippery volumes and smearing.

The Veloce is their favourite indoor bouldering shoe: the sensitive S72 rubber is great on really small foot chips.

Their Veloces fit well sized like other Scarpas; very comfy but they stretch a lot.

Two pairs of Veloce, the second half a size down, and still both ended up too big after stretching.

Owns both: wears the women's Veloce half a size below their Drago LV since it's so soft and stretches more.

The women's lace Veloce was very comfortable but weaker on edges than the Drago XT.

Owns three pairs of Veloces resoled with different rubbers and will never give up these slippers.

The Veloce is a great soft gym shoe with very nice grip, but wears down in 4 months of regular use.

Their Veloce in 41.5 (street 44) fits perfectly.

Their velcro Veloces are insanely comfortable, like lovely slippers, and nice and sticky.

The heel on their men's Veloce is horrible.

The Veloce works well for their foot shape.

Has used their Veloces twice a week for 1.3 years on the original rubber: extremely comfortable, amazing on friction, decent heel and toe hooks, weak on edges.

The Veloce was a big upgrade over their worn-out Tarantulace: much more faith that their feet will stick, though less comfortable.

On their fourth pair of Veloces, used for warm-ups and mileage alongside Skwamas for harder climbs.

Has worn the velcro Veloce for 3 months and finds them very secure.

The Veloce is comfortable out of the box and sticks to everything, but doesn't last long and isn't the best on small footholds.

Uses Veloces as their main shoe after a gout attack since the soft toe puts less pressure on the foot.

The Veloce fits their wide feet very well.

Has the Veloce for wide Roman feet and it's great for them.

Loves their Veloces: comfy, cheap, great for smearing with a good heel, but heavier climbers may get toe pain and they wear through fast.

With small feet and bunions needing a wide toe box, the Scarpa Veloce works for them.

A good all-day shoe for 95% of indoor climbing, now due a resole. Wore through a velcro strap attachment quickly; it is tiring on tiny slab footholds, a bit soft for roofs, and the baggy heel deforms on hard heel hooks.

“Also really like the Veloce as an all day shoe that is pretty good for all-round indoor climbing. I don't love the velcro strap. I wore down one of the attachment points pretty fast.”

Loves their pair, bought used: the strap hoop hasn't broken, they lasted over a year before a resole, and they are a favourite for indoor bouldering.

“I love my pair, that hoop hasn’t broken off, and my shoes lasted more than a year before needing a resole (and I bought them used).”

The Veloce has a roomy toe box without gaps, fits their super narrow heel, and the rubber sticks to everything.

Their Veloces were wicked comfortable after break-in, but the heel was awful and super baggy on them.

Finds the Veloce good, but on a not-so-wide foot there's dead space and the softness makes tiny footholds nearly impossible.

Uses Veloces and after resoling with Grip 2 and new toecaps they're slightly stiffer but still soft; loves them for comfort, grip and feel.

Their first bouldering shoes were Veloces and they loved the comfort, great smearing and feel through the holds, though tiny sharp slab feet got painful and the soft rubber wears fast.

Went from the Arpia to the Veloce and is now on their fourth pair; a much better and very comfortable shoe.

Has the Velcro Veloce: super wide and sock-like but very soft with a baggy heel and poor Velcro; great as a warm-up shoe, limited for technical climbing.

Bought the Veloce as a comfier gym shoe than their Evolv Phantoms and is pretty happy: soft, wide forefoot, sticky rubber and a snug heel, though tiny chips are tricky.

With shallow heels, the Veloce is one of the shoes they've liked.

The Scarpa Veloce is their indoor choice; they prefer a really light shoe.

With wide, flat duck-shaped feet, they love their Scarpa Veloces.

With very wide feet they wear the Scarpa Veloce: super soft slipper style with a wide toe box.

The current Veloce is the only climbing shoe that fits their wide duck feet comfortably, but the heel is so baggy they're scared to heel hook.

The Veloce is their favourite shoe; the S72 rubber is incredible for smearing but wears fast, and US rand repairs changed the fit.

Wears Veloces because their feet are exceptionally wide and high volume and no other shoe fits them.

Got Veloces for wider feet and hasn't looked back: very comfy, great on volumes and smearing, and much more sensitive than beginner shoes.

Veloces were their first shoes: rough for about 4 sessions, then fine; they lasted 8 months climbing twice a week.

Used to have Veloces and they were their most comfortable shoes.

Veloces were their first shoes, now resoled twice and their favourite for easy days, though painful for the first couple of months.

Their Veloces are very soft overall, but the stiff top of the toe box chafed their curled toes for a long time after downsizing too much.

Couldn't make the Veloce comfortable no matter what; it just wasn't compatible with their foot shape.

The Veloce is the comfiest shoe they've owned (half size down); they stretch a lot.

Loves Veloces and found them extremely comfortable, but only after several weeks of breaking in.

Veloces have been comfortable from almost the first session; soft, easy to break in and their favourite in 6 years of climbing.

Veloces are their favourite gym shoes for comfort; the sides pinch for the first month, then they feel like socks.

Has a pair of Veloces and hardly wears them; awesome shoes but virtually disposable.

Their street-size Veloces break their toenails and leave blood marks; they can't stand in them.

Loves their Veloce: the front fits like a handcrafted glove, but the heel slips off and makes farting noises.

With long second and third toes, the Veloce is the only shoe that fits them; sized up with socks.

After bruising their big-toe joints in downsized shoes, they sized up to street size in Scarpa Veloces, the comfiest shoes they could find.

Finds the Veloce comfortable and soft.

The Veloce's heel is a bit baggy on them, but the shoe is OK overall.

The Veloce is one of the most comfortable shoes they've owned: sock-like and so soft it smears on everything.

Their old Veloces are developing holes, but they recently stayed on small outdoor edges where friends in stiffer shoes struggled.

A fan of the Veloce, owning both men's and women's; the women's has a narrower profile and lower-volume heel.

Loves the Veloce for mellow indoor climbing: very sticky, soft and comfortable, but the heel is one of the sloppiest they've seen, so they switch shoes for steep or technical climbs.

Has the same squashing heel on their Veloces and can't heel hook in them at all.

Their first pair was the Veloce: super comfy for beginners, but the heels squashed and never fit well.

Their previous velcro Veloce, one size down, kept the toes fine but the heel bagged out.

Climbs in Veloces and finds them ridiculously comfy, but there's no support and they aren't great for edging.

Found the Veloce in street size unbearable on the big toe.

Has mixed feelings about their Veloces.

Gets dead space in the heel of the Veloce.

Veloces are the only shoes they have resoled in over 10 years of climbing; likes the wide toe box.

Does about 80% of their climbing in Veloces, saving the pricier Drago XT for climbs that need it.

After a couple of years of steady climbing they love their Scarpa Veloce and want a similar shoe for indoor and outdoor sport; La Sportiva doesn't fit their feet.

With an Egyptian foot, the Veloce is the shoe they've owned with the most room for the big toe.

Had Veloces in size 49 and found them brutal; the shoe just didn't suit their foot shape.

Has climbed in the Veloce: really comfortable, but the heel is too baggy and it gets a tad too soft on some climbs.

Loves their LV Veloces at street size, though at times they're too soft.

Their new Veloces are noticeably stickier than their old slippery Finales and make them trust volumes again.

Likes the Veloce for both smearing and coordination moves on volumes: very soft rubber, a flexible structure and a comfort-focused fit.

Found the Veloce good, but the heel was far too deep for their foot.

Found the Veloce similarly comfortable to the Instinct VSR but much softer.

Loves the Veloce's fit and comfort over long sessions and found the original S72 rubber amazing on rock and in the gym, now worn down and due for a resole.

“I’m in love with my shoes, I love the way they fit my feet, I love how comfortable they are to use on prolonged time”

Found the Veloce very comfy and sensitive when trying it in the store, but the heel didn't match their foot.

Moved on from the Veloce because it got very soft very quickly and became too soft for crimpy slab footholds.

“I would not recommmend veloce for slab. They get VERY sof VERY quickly.”

Really liked their Veloces but they needed resoling after only five months of climbing.

A V4–V6 indoor boulderer wore their Veloces through a repair until done, but found them too soft for tiny slab footholds, and after a couple of weeks needed socks to stop their heels slipping.

Bought the Veloce as a backup; it fit great in the store, but by the end of the first session it felt sloppy, with air pockets at the heel and under the foot on their long, narrow feet.
