Scarpa Vision

Does anyone know what's happened to Scarpa Vision's? I'm a big fan of these shoes, but they seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

Or am I just blind?

I think they've been discontinued.

[Edit: Looking at the product list on the Scarpa website would support that: http://en.scarpa.net/products/climbing/ ]

Yeah, I couldn't find them on the Scarpa website (which should have been a give away), but I couldn't find anything about them being discontinued either.

Anyone know what their replacement model was (if there was one)?

Hi Cam,
Unfortunatly there is not really a direct replacment. I have had 4 or 5 pairs of the vision velcro's over the years and loved them. Sorry to say but since then all the new Scarpas have been very dissapointing, and I have not found a pair since that fits right or feels as good.

Have moved onto fiveten dragons (probably the best shoe on earth)... also, some of the newer evolvs (soon to be available @ bayside) look great so may be worth a bash.
A similar fit in La sportivas can be found in the Miura XCS or whatever they are called.

Thanks Philby,
Maybe I'll try and resurrect my current pair. Otherwise, will check out your recommendations.
cheers
