When these arrived I was excited to try on these reasonably priced leather boots. Unfortunately within a few minutes of walking around in the house the seam that runs from the arch to the front of the ankle started rubbing my foot. I didn't notice this in pictures. Not sure if I just didn't notice or design changed but very noticeable within minutes and didn't want to take the chance that they wouldn't "break in"

Even out of the box, the Scarpa Terra GTX is extremely comfortable, and the fit just gets better with ever mile. No painful break-in period whatsoever. The construction is sound - everything I expect from Scarpa. While the soles look burly, the foot feel on the ground is actually quite sensitive (in a good way), and this boot grips any surface like a mountain goat...even wet ocean rocks. Sizing is accurate, but it helps to spend the time dialing in the exact sizing for your foot as even a half-size difference does affect a good boot fit. I love the leather, as it's both durable and holds up on rough materials, and can blend into casual clothing with style. If the leather starts looking a bit dry, I'll give it a polish with golden mink oil and they look better than the day I opened the box.

Extremely comfortable, really high quality leather and construction. Durable, no pinching as long as you oil 'em, a little scuffing but that's normal. Stayed waterproof after a year of hard use. Make sure to keep them oiled (I used mink oil) in order to keep them waterproof and from cracking. I had a pair of Vasques before, and those cracked a lot which ruins the waterproofing, especially important in winter. Nice enough to wear them hiking and immediately go out to dinner. I used them in winter, they are very warm and dry with good socks (I usually had Neos on over them, but still). Make sure you still change your socks every couple of hours! I used them in summer too without too much discomfort, but yeah, full leather uppers are a little warm. Still very nice. So comfortable, so durable, so beautiful, so worth it.
