Scarpa Booster Review

At £145 the Booster is the most expensive shoe in Scarpa's rock shoe range (with the exception of the highly specialist Maestro Alpine, that comes in at £220). As a result of this, and that differences between it and the others within the range are subtle, it might make people cynical about investing in it; however, what I'd always suggest to such cynics (myself included) is to try them all on and see which one works best for you. Whilst it is subtle, the Booster does provide a degree of edging ability which the Furia Air, Furia S and Drago don't, but with the added benefit of retaining the same degree of sensitivity. The only thing that lets them down is the heel, which does appear to be at the slippier end of the spectrum.
