What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
I have other Scarpa products with a decent fit and build quality. But these are some of the narrowest and painful shoes I've worn. Scarpa needs to understand that the rest of the world does not have such narrow feet, they should diversify their testers.
The first 4-5 short treks I did in them were very painful due to the right shoe material folding over my big toe, digging into it. It took a long time to become looser. Also, for some mysterious reason, the left shoe is destroying all my socks in the same place, between the big toe and next toe, even though I could not identify a physical reason.
After moderate use (less than 50 km), the gluing is falling apart.

Excellent grip on rock, toes can get into moderate sized cracks, provides decent foot protection, comfortable walking uphill and on flat, traction remains good when wet. These took me up several grade 3 scrambling routes in Snowdonia with no issues.
As you'd expect, the toe does not make them comfortable for walking downhill for long distances or for running any distance and I wouldn't want to wear these for longer than 6-7 hours.
