Perfect for a beginner
I’m just starting climbing in a gym and these have been wonderful for me. I did order a 6.5/7 when my shoe size is a 6 so they run a little small.

The SCARPA Women's Origin Rock Climbing Shoes are designed specifically for gym and sport climbing, making them a suitable choice for both beginners and experienced climbers. With their low-volume fit and women-specific design, these shoes prioritize comfort while providing the necessary grip to help you develop essential climbing techniques.
One of the standout features of the SCARPA Origin is its flat-lasted construction, which emphasizes comfort without sacrificing performance. This is particularly important when you're spending long hours climbing, as it helps reduce fatigue and discomfort. The unique heel system also plays a significant role in enhancing your overall climbing experience by distributing heel tension evenly, minimizing pressure on your Achilles tendon.
