Description

Incorporating numerous examples of boundary pushing design methods pioneered by SCARPA, the Chimera embodies cutting edge climbing shoe construction utilising state of the art materials.

This fine-tuned model features a handcrafted multi-panel upper (at 8 the highest in the range), rubber-wrapped forefoot, downturned profile and asymmetrical shape with offset lace closure. The Chimera strikes an immaculate balance between power and sensitivity: its PCB (Power Connection Band) active rand connects the SRT (Surround Rand Tension) forefoot with the PAF heel system, allowing the the climber to grab with their feet on steep overhangs, while the moulded TPS midsole, featuring a floating big toe, provides edging power, reactivity and underfoot support when you transition into more vertical terrain and smaller footholds.

The combination of the SRT toe-wrap and strategically placed asymmetric lacing system allow for unprecedented toe hooking in a lace model, while also providing a high range of adjustability for a variety of climber’s foot shapes and volumes.

The Chimera is a perfect choice for climbs that feature a variety of angles - both indoors and out - and where the climber needs a knife-edge balance between support and sensitivity.

Chimera

Powerfully Soft

Focus

UPPER

8 panel upper, made of technical 1.6mm microfibre combined with a layer of perforated and breathable TPU for strength and abrasion resistance. Alcantara big toe panel.

TENSION

PAF

The PAF System is an innovative heel construction method that improves force distribution and reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon.

SRT 1

The SRT system wraps the entire forefoot in M50 rubber, providing a perfect fit that follows every movement of the foot.

MIDSOLE

The TPS midsole gives support on small footholds without sacrificing sensitivity and the PCB system maintains integral tension across the arch of the foot.

SOLE

Vibram® 3.5 mm XS Grip 2 pad in the forefoot and around the heel offers maximum friction and stability.

IT CAN BE RESOLED

This shoe can be resolved at one of the official SCARPA resole shops. We recommend resoling before the wear and tear is excessive to preserve performance and prolong the life of your shoe or boot. Check out the full list of authorized centers on the store locator.

PAF SYSTEM

An innovative method of heel construction that improves force distribution and reduces pressure on the achilles tendon, thanks to a softer rubber “bridge” that connects the two flaps of the tension system, promoting optimal adaptation to the shape of the foot. The number of holes on the rubber indicates the level of tension: 1 hole for low tension, 2 holes for medium tension, 3 holes for maximum tension.

PCB-TENSION

The most minimalist tensioning system designed for maximum grip and sensitivity. Designed to work seamlessly with the SRT system, the Power Connection Band minimizes layers and distance between the foot and sole, ensuring total freedom of movement.

SRT SURROUND RUBBER TENSION

The system that represents the key technology of the Soft Line models: Chimera, Drago and Furia S. It is an extremely soft M50 rubber layer that completely wraps around the forefoot, providing maximum foot sensitivity and grip for every toe hook. Using soft shoes like these means improving one's climbing style by naturally increasing power to the tips of the toes. SRT allows the foot to spread out on any spot on the wall, offering total freedom that facilitates faster and more dynamic movements, both on rock and artificial walls.

TPS

Preshaped insert placed under the forefoot provides an anatomical fit at the front of the shoe. TPS improves toe support during stance on small notches, increasing engagement ability and accuracy. When spreading, the system allows the foot to spread out to increase the contact area of the shoe with the rock to provide greater grip.

Technical Partners

M50 Rubber

The softest rubber compound in our range, designed to provide maximum adaptability to the shape of the foot and toes. Developed in collaboration with Davos®, it has a Shore A rating of 50, offering a high wrapping ability. Its features make it particularly suitable for the SRT system, toe cap coverings, and targeted applications on the upper.

VIBRAM XS GRIP2 RUBBER

The natural evolution of the Vibram® XS GRIP compound, widely used by world-class athletes in bouldering. Featuring significantly improved grip, it offers an excellent level of compactness, ideal for working on edges and moderately inclined holds. It also ensures consistent performance in all temperatures. It is the recommended choice for applications that require the maximum level of adhesion.
