Hi guys,
The original spin ultra was small fitting. I am a 42.5 (27cm) in the Goldengate for example, but wear a 43 in the old spin ultra. Can you confirm whether they are true to fit, or whether I need to go a half size up like the old spin ultra?
SCARPA Spin Ultra 2
The Spin Ultra was SCARPA's most popular and ubiquitous shoe model for several years running - pun intended - so they decided to one-up themselves with the Spin Ultra 2! They've lightened up this version and used more eco-friendly materials to stay in line with the times, adding multiple upgrades along the way. The Spin Ultra 2 now features a more aggressive tread, deeper lugs, 3D-printed reinforcements, Super Critical TPEE foam, and new, grippier rubber underfoot. Added rocker and a lower drop compliment your natural stride, quickening your turnover. The Spin Ultra 2 will be great for everyday training or a shoo-in for your next 100-miler.
SkyRun Fit Tip - The Spin Ultra 2 fits true to your measured European size.
- Stalwart Vibram Megagrip for traction.
- Recycled and Bio-based materials are put to good use.
- Breathable upper with form-fitting, bio-based print overlays on your instep.
- Zone-specific lug design covers your braking and acceleration.
- Lower drop for quicker turnover.

Hi Tom,
The new Spin Ultra 2 does fit about a half size bigger than the original Spin Ultra! If you sized up a half size in the older model for a comfortable fit, I would guess you can size normally for this one.

Given that this looks a lot like the Spin Planet, and the Spin Planet doesn't seem to be getting a new version for 2025, would you say this is maybe combination of the Planet and Ultra? Because I love the Planets, and only sort of liked the Ultra, so I'm hoping this is more like the Planet.

Hi Timothy,
I think in some ways, it is! I examined all three shoes next to each other, and the Spin Ultra 2 does seem to parallel the design of the Spin Planet (I think more than the Spin Ultra). The toe box of the Spin Ultra 2 resembles the Spin Planet more than the older Spin Ultra (it's more tapered), as does the tongue. The midsole of the Spin Ultra 2 is also shaped more like the Spin Planet underfoot, rather than the original Spin Ultra, which pinches in more under the arch.
Overall, they are still distinct shoes, but I do think that the new Spin Ultra 2 has inherited many of the positive traits of the Spin Planet! It's just a bit lighter, the upper is softer and more flexible, and the foam is different (and should be bouncier and more responsive).

Hey Skyrun … the fit is listed as medium with typical Euro sizing. Width-wise, would you say the shoe runs narrow-ish? I’m hoping they will work for me, as my forefoot is kinda in-between most D & 2E shoes.

Hi Damon, we don't have definitive info on the fit, as we haven't tried them on. However, when the shoes arrive, we will update the specs and the Fit Tip, and you will see a "Yes" under the specs verified box. We are looking forward to this shoe!

You say they lowered the weight... per Scarpa's website the old version is 270g and the new version is 290g. Is that a misprint on their side? It would be great if it was.

Hi Nick, We weigh everything in the shop before we add a "Yes" to the "Specs Verified" above. I just weighed a size 42.0 of the old version, which weighed 287 grams. SCARPA claims the weight is going down, and we will verify that when we get our stock and change any necessary verbiage above.
