The Scarpa Spark received an Editors Choice Award

AAO Filed Under:

 The Spark received an Editors Choice Award in the June issue of Trail Runner magazine….some of the highlights and comments are below!


“The Spark is SCARPA’s first stab at a lightweight, performance shoe- and they nailed it”

“a stiff midsole and flexible rock plate provide ample protection from trail obstacles while allowing ground feel”

“the Spark has the best traction of any shoe I have tested” Jeremy Duncan - tester

“light enough for short races and durable and comfortable enough for treacherous mountain ultras”

“I was blown away by the superior traction! The Spark is definitely my go-to shoe for technical, rugged trail conditions.” Blair Speed - tester



Some additional comments below, from Ueli Steck on our blog……….who has been training in the Spark in Europe and the Himalayas:

“I run it mostly on single (track) trails in rocky terrain. The grip is just outstanding, it’s the perfect density – not too hard and not too soft,” Steck says. “The shoe gives a stable feeling because you are very close to the ground, but still offers enough shock absorbing. It’s a shoe to run in the hills, and once you use it in the mountains you understand what it is made for,” – Ueli Steck.
