Scarpa Kailash GTX (2012)

£140.00

This is a snug-fitting boot, best-suited to those with a narrower foot. The narrow fit does mean a great heel hold and the feet sit securely in place within the boot – but it doesn’t allow for quite as much padding as some others on test, which means these take a little more breaking-in. The reduced padding means they work ...

Scarpa Terra GTX 2011

£125.00

Scarpa is best-known for its performance-orientated hill-walking and mountaineering boots, which set the standard for others to chase. The Scarpa Terra GTX carries the hallmarks of that Scarpa heritage, but in a lighter package. From a distance it looks like a normal leather boot, but on closer inspection you can see it may offer what many walkers really need from ...

Scarpa Trek GTX 2011

£170.00

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 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 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 Infinity 2010

£145.00

The Scarpa Infinity weighs 1572g (pair, size 11); synthetic upper keeps price down: Gore-Tex waterproof lining; very supportive upper; solid toe box and very stiff sole unit ideal for rocky ground; good lug pattern for grip. But there are lots of boots at this price and some are leather for more durability; fairly lightweight, but others are lighter; some boots ...

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 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 ZG65 2009

£115.00

The Scarpa ZG65 weighs 1456g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; very aggressive Vibram sole unit is ideal for mountains and rough terrain; solid toe box; very supportive heel cup; articulated ankle design; excellent price for performance. But upper not as durable as one-piece leather; a flexible sole compared to some pricier options.

Scarpa Marmot

£50.00

The Scarpa Marmot children’s boot has been highly rated in past tests thanks to its full nubuck leather upper and waterproof lining, coupled with good stiffness in the toe box, sole and heel cup for ideal mountain performance. The reasonably aggressive lug pattern on the sole is good for mud too. But some boots, such as the Brasher Chichon, have ...

Scarpa Infinity

£120.00

A lightweight 3-season boot weighing 1584g (pair, size 11). Synthetic upper keeps price down. Gore-Tex waterproof lining and very supportive upper for rough ground; solid toe box and very stiff sole unit ideal for rocky ground; good lug pattern. However,  many boots at this price are leather offering greater durability; others are lighter; some boots have a more pronounced heel ...

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 Infinity

£120.00

Well-placed padding make these feel superb when you first pull them on, but they’re quite narrow and difficult to lace tightly, resulting in painful toe banging on descent. A good medium-stiff midsole and nice high cuff should have made them very stable, but the fabric panel directly above the ankle bone is a little too soft and doesn’t offer the ...

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. ...

£115.00

A 3-season boot that features a Gore-Tex waterproof lining; very aggressive Vibram sole unit that is ideal for mountains and rough terrain; solid toe box; very supportive heel cup; articulated ankle design. Upper not as durable as one piece leather uppers, but no other problems unless you don’t want a waterproof lining.

Scarpa ZG40

£120.00

These three-season leather boots from Scarpa, although slightly narrow, are well padded and lightweight and reasonably comfortable from the box. The laces pass through leather eyelets, which grip well and therefore help maintain the correct tension across the foot throughout your journey. The narrow fit might stop you tightening them quite as much as you’d like, but they still hold ...

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 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 ...
