Scarpa ZG65-XCR

£125.00

These are a little wider than traditional Scarpa boots, with a medium-wide heel section. Padding throughout the boots is decent enough too, and will help accommodate those with bulkier feet. On the whole, the ZG65s are a medium-stiff shoe, and good for most general walking. They handled forest tracks and muddy hills with relative ease, and the medium-stiff sole gives ...

Scarpa Vortex 2011

£100.00

Perhaps as expected from Scarpa, the Vortex is a robust shoe that can take the knocks and provide the performance needed for adventures that go beyond a short walk in the valley. So you get an upper with suede leather for durability and mesh for breathability around the tongue. A Gore-Tex waterproof lining keeps the feet dry. The toe box ...

Scarpa ZG65 2011

£125.00

The Scarpa ZG65 has been a popular boot for many years, although personally I have not rated as highly as some other people. But for 2011 the price is more competitive than in the past, so while it is still not my favourite boot it does provide excellent value for money. The boot has a synthetic and suede upper that ...

Scarpa Meridian XCR

£110.00

A good all-rounder that can certainly handle some pretty full-on walking. The upper oozes quality – a blend of suede, nubuck and mesh that goes some way to explaining the high price tag. And the Gore-Tex XCR liner does a top job of keeping feet dry, as you’d expect. The midsole’s a touch bendy in all planes for very rough ...

Scarpa Kailash 2010

£145.00

At 1456g (pair, size 11) the Scarpa Kailash is relatively lightweight and yet it also boasts a good performance to make it useful for the hill-goer. The upper is suede leather with a little area of fabric around the tongue, so it should be reasonably durable. Inside there is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining too. The ankle cuff is lower than ...

Scarpa Trek GTX

£150.00

Definitely worth a look if your feet are narrow. A women’s specific last and a good lacing system makes it easy to get a good fit across the foot, although there’s no offset locking eyelet. They have gorgeous nubuck leather uppers which stayed looking good throughout the test. Not as much underfoot cushioning as some, and less midsole support which ...

Scarpa Zen

£90.00

A fantastic looking shoe with a firm feel. An excellent lacing system ensures a good fit and keeps feet firmly in place, even on sloping ground. They breathe fairly well, with minimal padding and no waterproof lining. They performed well in the hills, and despite having no waterproof lining, the uppers shed water easily so you won’t get wet feet ...

Scarpa ZG65 XCR

£110.00

The ZG65 is slightly narrow, but the uppers are soft and pliable so it’ll accommodate most feet given a few wears. It’s well-padded, and feels very light, but a locking eyelet at the top of the foot would make it easier to get a really stable fit. The midsole is a compromise – stiff enough to take a bit of ...

Scarpa Trek 2009

£150.00

This is the classic Scarpa Trek with a modern twist of style and function. Firstly you get a classic quality leather upper with minimal stitching so there is little chance of leakage. Inside there is a sumptuous leather lining that gives the boot a wonderful feel on the fit, straight from the box. The upper is nice and stiff, so ...

Scarpa Manta GSB 2008

£185.00

Trail’s favourite 4-season boot for many years, the Scarpa Manta, has been revamped with a new sole unit that provides possibly the safest and quickest crampon attachment system on the market. A 10 per cent weight loss and a chunky rubber rand are also superb additions. The Manta GSB also sits lower to the ground, making it feel more dexterous ...

Scarpa Enigma XCR

£85.00

This multi-activity shoe came first in Trail tests in 2006. It is a durable shoe that is so typical of the products that come out of the Italian factory of Scarpa. It’s built to take the knocks and feels just ideal for scrambling. You get a relatively lightweight shoe with a primarily synthetic upper. Inside the upper there is a ...

Scarpa New SL

£155.00

This was the benchmark 3-4 season boot for many years. The current version offers less support to the ankle. In a way this is good as this new ankle certainly allows an easier walking action. The boot is also lighter too. You get the same one-piece leather upper and very aggressive sole unit. That stiff upper is ideal for use ...

Scarpa ZG 65

£100.00

These fabric boots from Scarpa feel a little harsh at first, but after one short walk mould to your feet perfectly, giving you a really snug and secure fit. The high, padded ankle cuffs are good, and the lacing system allows you to get a really good fit across the whole of your foot. The shape of the boot keeps ...

Scarpa Web XCR

£75.00

These multi-activity shoes from Scarpa feel great straight from the box, and the soft mesh uppers mould comfortably around your foot. The ankles are quite low, which helps keep your feet cool, but makes them slightly less supportive than some over really rough ground. They don’t need much lacing to keep them secure, though, and your feet stay comfortable in ...
