From Backcountry.com:
"The Scrapa Booster Climbing Shoes' highly asymmetrical curve and down-turned toe provides solid power and feel to your toes on the most technical sport routes and boulder problems. The hook-and-loop closures allow quick entry when you get psyched to pull down your project. The unlined suede uppers mold to your feet for a precise fit and equally precise footwork. Scarpa topped off the Booster Climbing Shoes with ultra-sticky Vibram XS Grip rubber to give you the friction you need on desperate smears and horribly slopping footholds."

From Oregon Mountain Community:

From Campmor:
"The Scarpa Booster is a shoe that is designed to climb anything hard. The down-turned toe and sticky heel hooks like a dream. The hook & loop closure allows for a quick exit after a hard problem, or in the middle of a long climb. The newly designed last fits the foot like it was custom made. Upper: Suede & Lorica (synthetic leather). Sole: Vibram XS Grip Closure: hook & loop straps."

"Too aggressive. . . as if that's a bad thing. These shoes are great for overhangs! The down-turned toe is a real plus for clinging on to small jigs on ceilings. . . . unfortunately the same cannot be said for completely vertical surfaces.

It took me a while to get used to the Booster in comparison to my Katanas, but I've grown to love them."
