I bought these boots a while back for their look, their full Gore-tex lining, and their exceptional value. I popped some aftermarket insoles in them and they seemed to be perfect; nearly broken in out of the box. After a week or so of just day-to-day walking around (before I had a chance to go on a serious hike) to break them in the sole started to delaminate on the right boot. I emailed Scarpa and they eventually got back to me. I mailed the boots in and they're sending me a replacement pair this week. I guess I'll give them another try. So the service from Scarpa wasn't bad but there is still some majorly shoddy workmanship. If there was a 2.5 stars I would go with that.

I bought theses new.

I like the fit and support.

But after the very first one hour easy walk the rubber sole at the tip of the boot started to come apart.

To say I was disappointed was a understatement.

exchanged these for another pair of the same see how long they will last.

Emailed Scarpa about the problem. no reply back.

These broke in very quickly. I think they are rugged and I know these will be around for many years. They are waterproof already tested in 3 inches of rain. My feet were dry throughout the hike.

Quick break-in, light, adequate support. Covered 40 miles in 3 days with 35 lbs pack. No problems with boot, except a poor fit. While I would imagine these would be great for someone with a greater foot volume, my low volume feet and narrow heels suffered through the trek. I tried different insoles and lacing techniques but found no relief. Would not recommend to anyone with less than average foot volume.

I bought this boot for Kili trip. This boot is bullet proof. Rain, mud, snow it took it all. The boot stayed dry. My summit day was insane. After reaching the summit in 8 hours, I ran down to the last camp going through mud and snow (1.15min). Resting in camp for 1 hour we descended all the way back to the Hotel in Tanzania arriving by 7pm. That's 17 hours without taking the boot off. I was wearing a liner sock and a wool sock. During the hike in lower elevation the temp was around 90 degrees, and my feet were burning. On the summit I must admit my feet got a bit cold. After the long day I thought I had blisters for sure as I couldnt move my toes thats how much they were burning. After taking the boot off I was shocked, not a single blister or a scratch. As far as the fit, I am 6'1 with size 11 wide foot. The boot it a bit wide for me, but I like that. Prior to the Kili trip i wore the boot while running on the treadmill. Honestly, i dont see a difference, the boot was perfect from the start.

I thought the boots were great other than the size I ordered was at least one full size off. (Too large) Then went to exchange and of course the size I was looking for wasn't available.

I ordered these boots after reviewing several comments. When they arrived, they were indeed too narrow, oddly only on one foot. I guess it's more my foot than the boot, but other reviewers mentioned they were too narrow also. Probabaly best on narrow-footed people.

In my twenty years of hiking experience I have never worn a more comfortable, lightweight, waterproof boot (PERIOD)... This boot made it to 2 Colorado 14ers in fall with a 55 pound pack. I am going to buy 2 more pair, so I will always have some.

I had a pair of Vasque Sundowners for years and loved them. They were holding up well but I was soldering a pipe and dripped solder into the boot linings (Doh!) Couldn't get the solder out of the fabric. So, I did the research, read some reviews and decided on the Scarpas. I am totally pleased with the decision. As others have noted, they fit right out of the box and required no break-in period. Went for a six mile hike that day I received them and had no discomfort and no blisters! Very stable. I'm 5'9", 180 lbs. My foot is a little narrower than average and these fit great with a smartwool light-weight hiking sock. Great price and received them in three days with the free shipping. I highly recommend these boots!

Really great boots! I have worn them in desert,alpine and rainforest enviroments! I have been suprised how well these boots hold up to every climate I need to go to for my work! They've kept my feet warm,cool and dry when needed I also have Scarpa Dru boots but these cover all my needs in one comfortable package! This is my second pair, I literally wore the others out as I used them so much!

Right out of the box these boots felt as though I had worn them for miles. I am very pleased with my selection. I am headed for a rim-to-rim hike at the Grand Canyon in May, so that should be the real test. I will give them a "4" until then. Will advise.

Even as the lightest Scarpa boots in this line, these are substantial, solid boots with a firm feel underfoot. Not high-top trail runners. They do take some breaking in, but they fit my fairly wide feet well.

Great fit, solid construction, good performer. I wore them casually several times prior to my first North GA hike. 7 miles with a pretty intense ascent and small stream crossings. Performed very well with good traction, support, and moisture management properties. Only neg; footbeds provided no cushion and little support so I switched them out and have been pleased.

Hiked many of the Adirondacks and 14,000 in CO. These are great in the spring and a bit warm in the summer but not bad. Order at least 1/2 size larger than your actual size. They wear great and haven't let me down. My first pair are still kicking but wanted another while I could get the exact shoe. Try em!

First off, I returned these because they contain REAL LEATHER, not just synthetic. The uppers are a mix of Cordura, what appears to be synthetic leather, and actual leather, so they were a no go for me.

As for fit I'm on the small size of a 9.5, I usually wear 9.5 but in some shoes/boots I'm a 9. The boots fit great for me, enough space in the toe box for my feet to swell a bit, but without swimming around in them. They are on the narrow side of regular, so if you have a wide foot I would avoid them.

The collar is firm but not too tough, and the tongue is perfectly padded for hiking and backpacking. Overall construction is top notch for a boot in this price range, and they are made in Romania.

Bottom line:
If you don't mind the leather, and your foot is not wide, this could be a great hiking/light backpacking boot for you.

Have had these for a year and rarely use them. They were tight out of the box and never broke in. When I do wear them my feet get very sore. Wish I would have returned them.

On my first hike in these, they felt like I had been wearing them for a long time. I was looking for a high top, lightweight hiking boot for rocky trails and these have fit the bill.
I replaced the footbeds with the Montrail Enduro footbeds from Backcountry. They gave a very supportive, custom fit. But they are very thick and unless you have a lot of extra room you may want to try a thinner footbed.
