The CRUX® 2 is the evolution of SCARPA's legendary best-selling approach shoe, refined for the next generation of climbers and mountain athletes. Built on a performance-tuned last with a 1.8mm suede and polyester mesh upper, it delivers the durability and breathability needed from trailhead to summit. The lace-to-toe closure system wraps the foot precisely, eliminating slippage on technical terrain without sacrificing all-day comfort. Underfoot, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides unmatched traction on wet rock, dry slab, and everything in between, and is the same compound trusted by alpinists worldwide. Whether you're linking pitches at the crag, scrambling a ridge, or moving through town, the CRUX® 2 is the one shoe that does it all.

    Solid performers.

    I've worn these for years, they just work and last really well. Yesterday I wore my new Crux 2s approaching a big classic 5.8 alpine rock route here in Canada, and then ended up wearing them all the way up the route as they climbed well and were comfortable. I often end up wearing these up lower 5th class routes while guiding or adventuring, they climb well enough and are super comfortable to wear all day. Also good in scree etc. Few pics attached of climbing the uber classic Fold on Mt. Kidd yesterday, gorgeous fall adventuring!

    Good shoe but too narrow for wide feet

    Seemed like a great shoe, but as with many Scarpas, it was too narrow in the toe box. On my wide feet, they fit like the 'Cruel Shoes' in that old Steve Martin short story. The old Crux shoe, with upsizing, fits okay, but the Crux II is way, way narrower in the toe. I held the old and the new models side by side and the difference was serious. Too bad, as you can no longer get the old Crux in a size 14.

    Fantastic shoe

    Out of the box, these shoes were perfect for my feet. They provided the all around support reminding me of my climbing shoes but the comfort of a hiking shoe. Will be putting lots of miles on these shoes soon.
