Origin VS

The first incarnation of SCARPA’s Origin VS was a new standard-setter: a competitively priced shoe that combined the comfort of an entry-level model with the performance and materials of high-end designs. This latest iteration doubles down on that ethos, delivering a truly remarkable climbing shoe- levelling up on all fronts.

Built in Europe’s shoemaking heartland and shaped on a comfort-oriented last, the Origin VS offers a relaxed, neutral fit with minimal pressure points on both heels and toes. To better accommodate modern fit preferences, this edition introduces a slightly wider toe box than its predecessor and is also available in EU half sizes. The upper is crafted from the premium dual-ply microfibre used in the Instinct series, offering immediate comfort and controlled stretch.

The shoe is also equipped with an S72 rubber outsole—arguably the stickiest compound on the market—and an M50 toe patch, the same upper rubber used in SCARPA’s high-performance models, for unrivalled grip. The toe patch has been refined to be more supple and stretchy, delivering out-of-the-box comfort and elevated performance levels, while the single competition-style Velcro strap and high-stretch gusset ensure easy entry and a secure, wraparound fit.

No matter if you’re dancing across a gritstone slab, pogoing between macros, or toe-hooking a meaty volume, the Origin VS performs move after move.
