Scarpa SPIN RACE White Lightweight Trail Running Shoes 215g

The Scarpa SPIN RACE White Lightweight Trail Running Shoes weigh approximately 215 g and are engineered for trail running and fast off-road movement. The upper is made from Matryx Micro, a technical yarn structure that provides exceptional lightness, lasting abrasion resistance and good breathability. A 3D-printed reinforcement and SCARPA's Sock-Fit LW construction deliver a snug, pressure-free fit while the NBS New Lace System lets you set and lock lace tension for consistent hold. The Spin-S Race sole combines a Vibram Megagrip outsole with 3.5 mm lugs and a Spring Foam midsole to offer strong traction and responsive rebound.

Advantages

The Matryx Micro upper reduces weight without sacrificing durability and allows air circulation to keep feet ventilated. The integrated 3D-printed reinforcements and EXO lateral support stabilise the foot on uneven terrain. Sock-Fit LW construction provides a sock-like wrap for improved control, and the NBS lacing system secures consistent tension. Vibram Megagrip rubber and 3.5 mm lugs deliver reliable grip on wet and dry surfaces, while the Spring Foam midsole enhances cushioning and energy return.

Suitable for

• Trail running and fast hiking on varied terrain
• Short and medium-distance off-road races
• Training sessions that prioritise low weight and responsiveness

When it may not be suitable

These shoes prioritise lightness and responsiveness over heavy-duty protection; they may be less suitable for extremely rocky routes where thicker protective toe caps and heavier midsoles are preferred. For long-distance ultrarunning with heavy loads, a shoe with greater cushioning and support might be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Weight: approximately 215 g (single shoe, size dependent)
• Upper material: Matryx Micro with 3D-printed reinforcements
• Fit system: Sock-Fit LW construction
• Lacing: NBS New Lace System with lockable tension
• Outsole: Vibram Megagrip with 3.5 mm lugs
• Midsole: Spring Foam for rebound and cushioning

How to use

Select the correct size for a snug fit and use the NBS New Lace System to set the desired lace tension; lock the lace to maintain consistent hold during runs. The Sock-Fit LW construction requires minimal adjustment as the stretch tongue wraps the instep for lateral stability. Use the shoes on trails and mixed off-road routes where low weight and traction are priorities; rinse off dirt after muddy runs and allow to dry at room temperature away from direct heat.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended terrain: best for trail and mixed off-road use rather than extremely technical, rocky climbs
• Fit preference: sock-like fit may feel tighter than traditional padded tongues
• Ride preference: lightweight, responsive midsole versus maximal cushioning

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, choose the usual running size or try them on with the socks you plan to wear while running; regularly check and clean the Vibram outsole to maintain grip and lock the NBS lacing after setting tension to prevent slippage during runs.
