The Scarpa Origin Wmn (2021) is a women’s climbing shoe designed for those just starting out at the gym or on the crag. It focuses on comfort and straightforward performance, helping you build confidence on your first routes without unnecessary complications.
With a single strap closure, slipping in and out is quick and on-the-fly adjustments are easy. The 1.8 mm suede upper softens over time, molding to your foot for a more personalized fit while still allowing the breathability you need during longer sessions. The 5 mm Vision sole balances sensitivity and durability, giving you enough grip to feel footholds clearly without sacrificing support. At around 205 g per shoe (size 38), it stays light underfoot so your legs won’t tire out as quickly.
The 1.8 mm thickness of the suede upper refers to the leather layer that wraps the shoe: thin enough to adapt closely to your foot, yet sturdy enough to resist wear. The 5 mm Vision sole indicates the rubber thickness underfoot, a measure that shows how the sole will perform—enough thickness to protect your feet and last through repeated use, while still offering the tactile feedback important for precise foot placements.
