Scarpa Cristallo (2012)

£200.00

Scarpa Cristallos have been around for a fair amount of time and have proven themselves well in many varied mountain situations. They offer a very robust package and come with all the right features for scrambling, plus enough extra oomph to make them suitable for tackling mountain walking, mountaineering, via ferrata and even glacier excursions. Employed as scrambling boots they ...

Scarpa Manta (2012)

£240.00

The Scarpa Manta has been the benchmark 4-season boot for longer than I can remember, which has made it the first choice for many hill and mountain walkers to consider when purchasing a dedicated boot for use on snow. The current version, which remains unchanged since 2009, boasts a stitch-free leather upper with a rubber rand, making it extremely durable. ...

The SL Activ is the latest version of the multi-award-winning and quintessential 3-4 season boot, the Scarpa SL. This new version holds true to the heritage of this boot by having a good stiff sole with an aggressive lug pattern, so you can kick the edges into the snow or crunch through scree with stability and comfort. But now you ...

First impressions count, and the Scarpa Kinesis Tech GTX clearly sits comfortably within the brand’s heritage of providing truly practical and durable mountain footwear no matter what the terrain. But it’s what’s inside that really sets it apart, as Scarpa has developed the ActiveFit programme to ensure that this boot is comfortable straight from the box.ActiveFit combines a new BD ...

The Scarpa Trek GTX is a classic boot that is built for tackling Britain’s toughest peaks year in, year out. It has a leather upper that is virtually stitch-free so it is very durable. There is extra reinforcement around the toe box, and the toe box itself is stiffened to protect the toes. A unique feature is the ankle cuff, ...

Scarpa Phantom Guide 2011

£400.00

Boots with integrated gaiters have been around for a while, but they are very much the preserve of the specialist end of the market. Marrying together boot and gaiter is an elegant solution that removes most of the weaknesses in a boot’s defences and pays dividends in the way it can be constructed. The problem is they do tend to ...

Scarpa Manta 2010

£220.00

If there is one product that defines the 4-season walking boot it is the Scarpa Manta. The Manta remains the same this year as in 2009. The upper is one-piece leather so there is no stitching to break down with hard use. There is a rubber rand around the whole boot for durability year on year. There is a little ...

Scarpa New SL 2010

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years, thanks to a combination of just the right degree of stiffness coupled with enough of an easy walking action to make it comfortable on easier terrain. The one-piece leather upper is virtually free of stitching so there is nothing to wear out or trap grit. As the ...

Scarpa Trek GTX

£170.00

A classic walking boot, the Trek is suitable for use on hills and mountains with quite a stiff midsole and all over support. They may be a little narrow for some; the toe box does have plenty of room, but the mid-section is noticeably thinner than on other models. The wide rubber rand at the toe is a good feature ...

Scarpa Kailash GTX

£145.00

An excellent all-rounder with a mid-height ankle cuff and a versatile semi-stiff midsole that coped with all terrains. Plenty of protection at the heel and toe and stayed dry throughout the test as well as dealing well with perspiration when walking fast uphill. They also feel quite light – especially as they are so rugged and well-built. The outsole has ...

Scarpa Mont Blanc GTX 2010

£350.00

Kicking steps up hard snow on Wetherlam’s frigid northern slopes, the advantages of B3 boots came sharply into focus. I was progressing rhythmically with neat one-kick steps, while Graham Thompson (Trail’s technical editor) was floundering below, having to rekick my steps to house his more flexible B2s. It’s only when things start to get marginal in the mountains that you ...

Scarpa Manta 2009

£220.00

Last year the Scarpa Manta 4-season boot had the GSB crampon system, but sadly the system has not become popular enough to warrant its continuity, so on the Manta it is now a feature that can be logged as that great idea that got away! The remainder of the Manta is classic performance-orientated design though. The boot sits lower to ...

Scarpa New SL 2009

£185.00

The Scarpa SL has defined the 3-4 season boot category for many years. It is a classic design that is ideal for British conditions with a one-piece leather upper that is virtually free of stitching to fail, and its 2.8mm thickness means it is very water-resistant. Treat this material regularly with proofing products and it will last a lifetime and ...

Scarpa Nepal

£140.00

This 3-season boot came top in our tests in April 2006 and 2007, and it’s still a superb boot for tough mountain walking. Like all the best boots, the upper is a virtually stitch-free nubuck leather design, to ensure maximum durability after years of abuse on Britain’s highest peaks. To further enhance durability, there’s a rubber rand that extends all ...

Scarpa Charmoz GTX

£180.00

Via ferrata and tough mountain scrambles can be a mixed bag of challenges and terrain, so finding the right climbing boot is not easy or obvious. For my money the Scarpa Charmoz provides just about the right balance to cover the widest range of terrain, from boggy approach through technical rock and onto snow and ice. Most importantly of all, ...

Scarpa New Manta

£165.00

Trail’s favourite 4-season boot for many years, last year this gained an articulated ankle cuff. In use this means the ankle cuff is so much more comfortable than before when walking. The ankle cuff is slightly lower than many winter boots to allow a more natural walking action. The rest of the boot is classic Manta with a one-piece leather ...

Scarpa Nepal

£135.00

This 3-season boot came first in Trail April 2006 and for my money it is still the best option for the sort of tough mountain walking that most Trail readers like to do. As with all the best boots, the upper is a virtually stitch-free nubuck leather design, to ensure maximum durability after years of abuse on Britain’s highest peaks. ...

Scarpa Ranger GTX

£110.00

These three-season boots from Scarpa are very comfortable right from the word go. They fit well, with a good amount of room in the toe, a comfortable heel and a soft, supportive ankle cuff. The streamlined, classic design is a pleasure and the luxurious leather upper is instantly eye-catching. The Rangers perform exceptionally well over all types of terrain, especially ...
