"That said, there were a few changes that didn't work as well for me but are likely to work better for other runners. The new version is visually a bit different, and the upper has fewer overlays, allowing for increased flexibility and breathability. The latter is most noticeable on hot summer days, and the shoe also drains a bit better. The fit is slightly longer than before, with a narrow fit particularly through the forefoot."
"The 4-millimeter drop is reduced from the 6 millimeters of the original version, and the 28-millimeter stack height under the heel is in the moderate range. The cushioning is indeed firmer, but I think it improves the performance, particularly on steeper terrain and off-trail climbs and descents. The zoned lug pattern on the Vibram Megagrip outsole is also an improvement on most surfaces, allowing for better braking on long descents while retaining a smooth roll."
Scarpa's Spin Ultra 2 targets runners seeking long-distance training and racing with cushioning and rebound. The upper adopts fewer overlays for increased flexibility, breathability, and better drainage in hot conditions. Fit runs about half a size large, feels slightly longer, and has a narrower forefoot with reduced toebox volume, which may not suit wider feet. The midsole features a 4 mm drop and a 28 mm heel stack with firmer cushioning aimed at improving performance on steep terrain and off-trail climbs and descents. The Vibram Megagrip outsole uses a zoned lug pattern for stronger braking on descents while preserving a smooth roll. Weight for a U.S. men's 9 is 9.9 ounces (282 grams).
