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. ...

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 Cristallo GTX 2010

£200.00

The Scarpa Cristallo GTX is designed to replace the Pro Ascent, which itself replaced the Mescalito, the common denominator being supreme performance when scrambling on rock. Like its predecessors it benefits from lacing that extends to the toe, and a stiff outsole. What sets it apart is the more general mountain performance characteristics of the upper and sole, which make ...

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 ...

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.

Scarpa Trek 2009

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 CRISTALLO GTX

£160.00

Review: A modern design with a suede/fabric upper, it’s a narrow fit, and although the very stiff midsole provides plenty of security with a crampon, the straps are easily felt through the soft, fairly lightweight uppers, which provide less insulation than some.  VITAL STATSSizes: 7-13 (UK); 41-48 (Euro) Upper: Suede/fabric Waterproof/breathable lining: Gore-Tex Sole: Vibram Moraine Weight: 1,560g Women’s version: ...

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 SL

£155.00

With so much padding, the Scarpa SL feels extremely comfy at first and this will convince a lot of people, but the standard fitting could prove a little too narrow for some feet. There is a wider option though. The low-cut, flexible ankle suits ordinary walking, but it lacked support on steeper slopes with a crampon. No waterproof lining, but ...

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 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 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 ...
