Scarpa Origin Climbing Shoe - Women's Maldive/Black, 37.0

Although a lot of people take climbing classes to conquer their fear of heights, you can feel free to conquer your fear of stinky rental shoes in the same class. The dreadful thought of anyone dipping their feet into worn-out shoes—still warm from the previous renter—is enough to set anyone's teeth at edge. Instead, show up to the first day of class in the Scarpa Women's Origin Climbing Shoe, and maybe set a goal that you'll try a more used pair at the last day of class. Or don't.... everyone would understand if you wanted to continue wearing this comfy pair of shoes than any of the rentals that may or may not have toenails stuck to the inside. Although the brand's size chart has recommendations for how to choose your size, customer feedback suggests this shoe runs small, we would suggest sizing up if you are unused to a tight performance fit.
