My all-time favorite shoes, the Scarpa Arpias, seem to be discontinued. My current pair has been resoled at least 3 times and is practically falling apart (I might try to get them resoled anyway and just try to patch the holes in the leather myself). Any ideas on what I should replace my sole-mates with? I am currently trying (and hating) Evolv Oracles. The Scarpa Furias look the most similar online, but I have never seen them in person or tried them on. Also if anyone has relatively new EU 45.5's they would be willing to part with...
The Veloce's are an amazing gym shoe but are painfully soft for outside, and the super soft rubber that makes them so good on volumes lasts about 2 minutes outside.. The Arpia was pretty unique in how it was an indoor/outdoor quiver killer. While I do have a few pairs of Arpia's stashed, I've been pretty happy with the new Vapor Lace as an outdoor replacement for the Arpia.

I adore Veloces for gym climbing but as the last poster said they really are too soft for outdoors
