Scarpa Generator Mid Review

If you are still cleaning the sand out of your vehicle from your last desert tower trip, you carry a haul bag to the coffee shop, or you have never stick-clipped a route, there have traditionally only been a few truly high-end shoes on the market for the kind of climbing you enjoy. That is changing, though, and we are seeing some pretty impressive offerings for high-top trad specialists. For a similarly high level of all-around performance as other options, with even more protection and a slightly wider fit, the Generator Mid should be a shoe you consider for all your trad climbing needs. While Scarpa always seems to be pushing the price ceiling higher for climbing shoes, if big walls, gobies, and adventure are what you eat, sleep, and breathe, then the Generator Mid is worth the investment.
