Expert Review Sources
- Running Lab : 91.3 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 6.2 mm drop and weighing 322 g, the Scarpa Spin Planet strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (322 g, a 6.2 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at €180. »
- Journal du Trail / Trail Session : 89.3 / 100 — « Built by Scarpa around the Scarpa proprietary foam midsole, the Spin Planet locks the foot down securely on steep descents while preserving muscular energy over long hours (a 6.2 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
- RunRepeat : 79.7 / 100 — « The Scarpa Spin Planet impressed us with its cool name and bold design. During our evaluation, we really liked its highly breathable upper and the innovative tongue design that offers a secure and comfortable fit. We also found that this door-to-trail shoe excels in stability and grip, making it suitable for various conditions. However, we were disappointed by the heavier weight and lack of energy return—clear areas that could benefit from significant improvement in future versions. »
