A longtime Scarpa athlete and staff favorite, the Gecko is their most technical approach shoe. The upper is constructed of water-resistant suede leather, to withstand the abuse of rocky terrain, but still molds to your foot for a glove-like fit. The lace-to-toe closure system is super adaptable, whether you want to cinch it down for technical terrain or back it off for more casual use, and also accommodates a variety of foot shapes. The rubber toe rand is overlasted, protecting the upper as well as the midsole from abrasion.

The Gecko also features a hybrid construction: board lasted in the rear part for structure and torsional stability, and slip-lasted in the forefoot for ultimate flexibility and sensitivity. The dual-density EVA midsole balances support with cushioning, appropriate for moderate to long approaches wearing a pack. The outsole features Scarpa's exclusive SuperGum rubber for confidence inspiring friction and traction, and is highly durable to extend the shoes life.
