FAQs
Are these boots suitable for heavy trekking or mountaineering?
The Scarpa Terra II boots are primarily designed for walking and light to moderate hiking. For extreme conditions or technical mountaineering, a more robust boot with specialized features may be required.
How do I know if the UK 4.5 size will fit me?
Fit is highly personal. We recommend trying the boots on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. Refer to Scarpa's sizing chart for detailed measurements and consider your usual shoe size. Visiting a retail store to try them on is ideal.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, the GORE-TEX membrane, and the adhesives used in construction.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally advisable to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or whenever the leather appears dry or starts to lose its suppleness.
What is the main advantage of the GORE-TEX material?
GORE-TEX provides a waterproof barrier that also allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, ensuring your feet stay dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit. Allow for a break-in period; wear them for short walks initially and gradually increase duration.
Water seeping through
Check that the laces are tied securely and the tongue is properly positioned. If persistent, the GORE-TEX membrane might be compromised or require re-waterproofing treatment. Ensure all care instructions, including conditioning and waterproofing spray, are followed.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the outsoles to remove any embedded mud or debris. Some surfaces, like polished stone or ice, may naturally offer less traction. Ensure you are using the boots for their intended purpose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced appropriately for a comfortable and secure fit before your first use.
Compatibility: The Scarpa Terra II boots are designed for walking and hiking. They are suitable for a range of outdoor activities, from daily walks to longer treks. They are compatible with most types of outdoor socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Ensure the conditioner is compatible with GORE-TEX footwear.
- Waterproofing: For sustained water repellency, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and GORE-TEX materials.
