Scarpa "Booster" gets a big thumbs up from Steve at Pemba!

Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd send you a note and let you know that I'm loving the boosters! I don't want to be "that guy" that just says that he loves something because he got it for free, but the shoes are sick. If I had to do it again I'd go up to a 38.5 but the 38's are working fine so far. I'd probably say I'm a 38.5 for the performance models at least so it's about a full size up from sportiva. I'm normally a 37.5 in their performance stuff. I'll know more once they are fully broken in though.

Fit wise though, they are exceptional. no real baggy areas anywhere important. there is a small spot on the top of my foot but that's about it, and if it's going to be baggy anywhere, thats where I want it to be. I had been climbing in Sportiva solution's and the fit on
the boosters is way way better. by lots. I'm already noticing it.
i'm definitely happy with them. I've tried a bunch of shoes out over the last 4-5 years and these are up top right now. I'm counting this is my 11th model from the 4th company(Acopa, Sportiva, Five Ten and now Scarpa) since about 2004. I know, I've got a problem. it's a fun problem to have at least, right?

either way though, brian, I wanted to thank you a bunch for hooking me up. I'll try to send you some pics as i get them this season. I was in the gym last week one night and the 2 other people i was climbing with were wearing Stix. My girlfriend has a pair of rockette's that
she bought last year and Vera is looking at getting a pair too.
People are definitely noticing. I'd give boulders a call or send them a note and see if they want to open if they haven't already. They do evolve right now and have been kinda looking for another line.

Also, one last request, is there any sort of deal I can get for one of
the guys that I climb with? He tried on my boosters and liked them.
Let me know. If not, I wouldn't be too hung up about it. He's already got a pair of stix and likes them a lot. He just wants to get the boosters now.

Alright, that's enough of your time that I've wasted with my ranting.
To sum it all up, the shoes are sweet. I'm a fan and I'm excited to try out some other models.

Later!
Steve
