The long-awaited update of one of the best rated trail running shoes of the Italian brand has arrived: the Scarpa Spin 2.0. A model that raises its bet in terms of performance, and also in its more ecological features, because, now, this second version of the Spin is a more sustainable shoe, thanks to the use of vegan materials in its design and construction.
The hallmarks of these Scarpa Spin 2.0 trail running shoes are their lightness and speed.

Speaking of all the strengths of this renewed second version of the Scarpa Spin, undoubtedly our attention has to be focused on the construction of its midsole. This time, Scarpa s product developers have chosen to include Pebax Rnew, which is a compound that provides better rebound in each stride, but also increases resistance against the compression offered by the more conventional EVA foam. In addition, this new Pebax Rnew material is more environmentally friendly, since it is made from castor oil.
On the other hand, these Scarpa Spin 2.0 bring with them the ESS plate in the forefoot area. A resource that comes to improve not only the level of protection, but also its propulsion capacity. All this to offer a remarkable performance in the race.
Of course, referring to a shoe for mountain running, the outsole has a lot to say and contribute. The Scarpa Spin 2.0 is no exception to the rule, and features a high-performance outsole with the inclusion of several of Vibram 's latest generation materials: Fixion II and Megagrip to ensure grip and traction on all types of terrain.
As far as the upper of the Scarpa Spin 2.0 is concerned, it is constructed with synthetic mesh, very breathable and lightweight. It also has overlays of a thin PU film thermosealed, and through which the model is able to offer more structure and support in strategic points, while prolonging the life of the model without sacrificing protection.
There is still more in these renewed Scarpa Spin 2.0 that have given a qualitative and quantitative leap with respect to what we have already seen in its original version of the Scarpa Spin. Other details of interest can be seen in:
Nor should it be left out that these Scarpa Spin 2.0 have sought to have that "Planet Friendly" label with materials that are more environmentally friendly. In fact, we speak of a vegan product, because they do not use any type of material of animal origin, and tends to manufacture 100% synthetic materials.
In the technical specifications section, the Scarpa Spin 2.0 have a low profile with a 4mm drop, and weights of 252 grams for men's trail running shoes and 213 grams for the women's model.
