Description

The award-winning Mago is a champion for the demands of elite climbing.

The downturned last, X-tension active randing, and XS Grip2 rubber provide ultimate power and stick for front pointing on steep and overhanging climbs.

Lace-up closure and Microsuede fabric in the toe area provide topnotch fit and control while minimizing stretch in areas where precision is paramount.

TPS – Toe Power Support Technology

TPS – Toe Power Support

The TPS is a thermoshapable insert positioned under the forefoot. It provides a customized, anatomical fit to the front area of the shoe. The main benefits of the TPS are: a better support for the toes when pushing down hard, improved pulling capabilities and last, but not least, increased precision. When smearing, the TPS becomes extended so that it does not constrain movement and in doing so it helps to increase the area of the sole in contact with the rock to provide you with even more grip.
VIBRAM® XS Grip2 Technology

VIBRAM® XS Grip2

Represents the natural evolution of VIBRAM® XS Grip, the new XS Grip2 delivers highly improved grip, while maintaining consistent performance in all temperatures. XS Grip 2 is the best solution in pure friction situations while remaining durable and even-wearing.
X-Tension System Technology

X-Tension System

Innovative concept of active midsole adapting to the footshape while loading and unloading bodyweight to the forefoot area, for the best power transmission. The pre-tensioned rubber rand enhances toe power, providing a direct connection among the front edge of the sole, the upper closure (lacing, Velcro®, elastic band) and heel area. In combination with half soles, the X-TENSION system supports the arch and forefoot without reducing sensitivity the way stiff midsoles do.

Evening Sends Gear Review no rating given just a review

The Scarpa Mago is one of the best shoes I’ve ever worn for sport climbing, and after years of using them to make brilliant ascents of the Rifle warm-ups, I cannot say that this opinion has changed. The Mago, designed by genius cobbler Heinz Mariacher, manages to perform well in every type of face-climbing situation—granite slabs, limestone drips and tufas and anything that requires advanced edging and heel or toe hooking.

Rock and Run Gear Review no rating given just a review

If you climb on more than one angle and rock type, and need a good balance between support and sensitivity and a rock shoe that likes heel and toe hooks, the Mago will do whatever you want. I wear them for anything requiring some stiffness and/or hard heel-hooking.

Rock and Ice Gear Review rating 4/5

The Mago is one of the best shoes I’ve ever worn for high-end sport climbing. The shoe turns down for toe power, but it also performs well on smears and edges. The suede upper is comfortable for extended wear, and the laces are easy to tie and adjust for a precise fit.
