PRESSURE ABSORBING FIT (PAF) SYSTEM

PRESSURE ABSORBING FIT (PAF) SYSTEM

PAF (Pressure Absorbing Fit) is an innovative heel system that helps both spread the force of the heel tension and increase the fit of the heel. The Active Rand rubber is interrupted behind the heel to reduce pressure on the achilles tendon and connected with 2mm XS GRIP2 rubber, that works like a bridge and allows full adaption to the shape of the heel while still providing dynamic forward pressure to focus power over the big toe. The holes on the side of the heel indicate the tension applied, which varies between 1 hole for light tension, 2 holes for mid tension and 3 holes for strong tension.

    Jamming my ankles in wide cracks never felt soooooo good!

    The padding on the ankles is absolutely phenomenal for climbing wide cracks. The drawback is that the padding on the ankles makes the shoes very warm and doesn’t breathe very well, so my feet get hot and sweaty in warmer conditions.

    The PAF rand is great, providing tension, without causing bursitis or haglunds deformity.

    I personally wish the toe box was less tall and the heel cup was less deep and wide. It kind of feels like Scarpa tried to make this shoe to fit people who want curled toes, but I think there are a lot of people like me who prefer to have their toes to lay flat within a low profile, wide, chiseled toe box when crack climbing.

    If Scarpa applied the low-profile flat toe box design of the Vapor S to the generator and increased the sensitivity under the foot, I think the Generator would be the ultimate do-it-all shoe for crack and slab climbing.

    Great for crack climbing

    It goes without saying, but this shoe is great for crack climbing (especially flared granite cracks and Indian Creek splitters once they're broken in!) and long multi-pitch routes where comfort is paramount. The extra padding on the ankles is especially helpful for off-width climbing and unlike anything else on the market right now!

    A great all-day shoe for long routes.

    The Generator Mid is my go-to for long trad routes or days or route development. They are comfortably padded and edge well. If I'm trying a single pitch trad line, I have a pair sized much tighter that performs really well on more difficult lines.

    Amazing, Durable Desert Shoe

    I've been so impressed with the performance and durability of the Generators. I love offwidth roof climbing, but it's hard on my shoes. In the past, a few sessions might destroy a pair of TC Pros. I'm psyched to say that my Generators are going strong after multiple seasons of abuse :) The ankle protection and comfort on these is also amazing compared to other high-top trad shoes!

    well crafted and worth every penny, primarily used for granite cracks

    Well-crafted boots for which my ankles and feet thank me when we twist into granite cracks. I was skeptical of the price and kind of clunky feel of the shoe on the show room floor, but the enthusiasm of a climbing friend when we saw these on sale persuaded me to get a pair. I will never look back! And hope to get another pair for when these need resoling. As soon as I slipped my foot into the first crack it's like the shoe slipped into position on my foot. Spendy for sure but they are REALLY WELL MADE. Love them & highly recommend.
