Product Information
Full details
The Scarpa Moraine Mid Gtx is designed for adult male hikers seeking a reliable, supportive boot that balances technical performance with everyday comfort. Its standout feature is the integration of Gore-Tex waterproofing and the proprietary Presa Hik-04 sole, providing exceptional traction and dryness on unpredictable trails. While these shoes offer robust structural support, users should note that the leather and mesh construction requires a brief break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

FAQs
Is the Scarpa Moraine Mid Gtx suitable for winter hiking?
It is well-suited for late autumn and early spring, though it is not a dedicated insulated winter boot.
Does the Recco system replace a PLB or satellite communicator?
No. The Recco system is an additional safety feature for professional rescue teams; it does not replace the need for traditional emergency communication devices.
How should I store these boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp areas like garages to prevent mold.
Are these boots resoleable?
Due to the specialized nature of the Presa Hik-04 dual-density sole, professional resoling may be difficult; consult a specialist cobbler experienced with high-end hiking footwear.
What is the best way to clean the Nubuck leather?
Use a specialized Nubuck cleaning brush and a gentle, leather-safe cleaner to maintain the material's texture and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe despite Gore-Tex
Check the exterior for heavy mud buildup or salt deposits, which can impede breathability. Ensure the waterproof membrane isn't compromised by sharp debris inside the boot.
Persistent foot discomfort during hikes
Verify your lacing tension; use the adjustable lacing system to secure the heel without overtightening the forefoot. Consider swapping insoles for custom orthotics if arch support is insufficient.
Slippage on wet rock
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove packed mud. Ensure the tread is not overly worn, as the Presa sole relies on its specific lug depth for traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Scarpa Moraine Mid Gtx, proper care is essential.
- Break-in: Wear your boots on short walks before attempting long-distance hikes to allow the leather and internal structure to mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: After hikes, remove dirt using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, which can crack the leather and damage the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner designed for hiking boots to keep the Nubuck supple and prevent cracking.
