FOOT ACTIVE CONTROL

EXO CONSTRUCTION

Highly breathable upper mesh is backed by our EXO internal support matrix, inspired by structural elements of the Golden Gate Bridge. Welded PY reinforcements on the upper add additional structure, support and abrasion resistance.
FOOT ACTIVE CONTROL

FOOT ACTIVE CONTROL

The midsole features two different densities of a SCARPA exclusive "Active EVA" compound. The lower layer in a softer density cushions foot strike and adapts to rocky terrain. The upper layer of medium density Active EVA provides support and structure to minimize foot fatigue. Sandwiched between the two layers is a 1mm, multi-layer carbon fiber plate that provides underfoot protection and significant energy return and propulsion in the toe-off phase of the gait cycle.

    Sneaky Speedster

    The Kima’s stayed in my closet untouched for a few months while I waited for alpine season before I realized that they weren’t just a high-mountain shoe. The sneaky carbon plate in these makes them an amazing pace-pusher on any kind of trail. They’re perfect for speedy interval workouts on rolling gravel roads and fast finishes for progressive long runs on singletrack. I find them incredibly responsive and fast to bounce back in time to keep up a quick cadence at higher speeds. They’re not the most cushioned SCARPA, so don’t rely on these for a daily trainer, but that’s not the point and they won’t get a real chance to shine that way. Pull out the Kima’s when it’s time to pull out all the stops!

    The hiker’s sneaker

    I don’t do well in very soft sneaks. These are perfect. Order a size up if u plan to wear socks. I walked 9 holes in these w no fatigue and they are solid enough to be stable on uneven surfaces, yet light and cool. Incredible sole. Perfect density for long days on your feet. And not squishy. I’m going to get a second pair. Worth every penny as I have troublesome feet. I only wear Scarpa hikers. So glad they make these now

    Set the Fastest Known Time through the Smokies in these!

    These are some of my favorite running shoes! They've powered me through some of my favorite mountain adventures, holding up well and performing excellently. I set two FKTs in them - the Art Loeb (~30 miles) and the Smokies/SCAR (~70 miles), both of them on tough technical east coast trails with a lot of elevation change. The Kimas have been great. Hopefully lots more adventures to come in them!

    Technical Mountain Running

    These are so low to the ground and stable, yet have so much protection and propulsion thanks to the carbon plate. This is not the sort of carbon fiber shoes many other companies have that feel wobbly and are terrifying to run in. The upper has an amazing footlocker and slightly wider toe box as well.

    Solid dry conditions alpine shoe

    This is an excellent, fast paced, shoe in dry alpine conditions. Ironically, it’s one of only a few sockless friendly Scarpa running shoes. Purchased my normal 42.5 scarpa size; however, 42.0 would likely be a better fit in these. Good midfoot and ankle hold, with enough room for reasonable toe splay (albeit, definitely not a wide toe box). Shortcomings: they feel heavier on feet than the stated 9ish ounces and the presa outsole is less than great in wet/damp alpine conditions. Subjectively: the gray/blue colourway is a win imho. Appreciate that scarpa offers ‘classy’ subtle color choices (for lack of a better word).
