Our verdict
We're siding with a professional tester who said that the Quantix SF is like an "ice cream flavor that hits all palates." Its well-roundedness is quite remarkable indeed. That said, this moderately downturned kick from Scarpa steals the spotlight where clinging on feature-less parts of the rock is concerned.

Among the limelight-worthy aspects of the Quantix SF is its enduring plushness. A footgear maven said, "they remained comfortable, or at least comfortable enough, for the mega-long pitches."
