FAQs

How do I clean my Scarpa Rapid XT GTX shoes?

Use a brush to remove dirt and debris. Clean the suede leather upper with a suede cleaner and a soft brush. Rinse with lukewarm water and let air dry.

Are these shoes waterproof?

Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX ePE membrane that provides waterproof and breathable protection.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

The Scarpa Rapid XT GTX is designed for hiking, technical scrambles, and challenging mountain crag approaches. They perform well on wet rock, rugged trails, and uneven landscapes.

Can I resole these shoes?

Yes, these shoes can be resolved at official SCARPA resole shops. This will help extend the life of the shoes.

How should I store my shoes?

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.

What is the lifespan of the Vibram Megagrip outsole?

The lifespan of the outsole depends on the frequency and type of use. Regular use on abrasive surfaces will wear down the tread faster. Inspect the outsole regularly for wear and tear.

Do I need to break in these shoes?

Some users may experience a break-in period. Wear the shoes on shorter hikes to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking into the shoe.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the upper. Ensure the shoes are properly laced and that the tongue is correctly positioned to prevent water from entering.

The outsole grip is reduced.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud and debris. Check the outsole for wear and tear; consider replacing the shoes if the tread is significantly worn.

The shoes feel uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit. Consider using a different insole for added comfort.

The shoes are difficult to put on.

Loosen the laces fully before putting on the shoes. Use a shoehorn to help slide your foot in. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned.
