Product Information

Full details

The Scarpa Rapid XT GTX Mid Walking Boots are designed for hikers and scramblers seeking a waterproof, lightweight boot for challenging terrain. These boots offer excellent ankle support and grip, thanks to their GORE-TEX membrane and Vibram MegaGrip outsole. However, be aware that the mid-cut design may not offer as much ankle flexibility as a low-cut hiking shoe.

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, but they may be warmer than lighter hiking shoes due to the GORE-TEX membrane. They're best suited for cooler or wetter conditions.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I resole these boots?

Yes, these boots can be resoled at an authorized Scarpa repair center to extend their lifespan.

What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?

Use moisture-wicking hiking socks, ideally those made of wool or synthetic materials, to keep your feet dry and comfortable.

How do I store the boots when I'm not using them?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees to help maintain their shape.

What is the lifespan of these boots?

The lifespan depends on usage, terrain, and care. With proper care and resoling, they can last for many years.

What is the warranty on these boots?

Scarpa typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the product documentation or Scarpa's website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the lacing to find the right balance between snugness and comfort. Consider using a thinner sock or a different insole.

Boots are leaking water.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or leather. Apply a waterproofing treatment if needed. Ensure socks are pulled up properly inside the boot.

Poor grip on wet surfaces.

Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing the grip. Replace the boots if the tread is worn.

Ankle feels unsupported.

Tighten the laces around the ankle for better support. If the problem persists, consider a different boot with more ankle support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability with the GORE-TEX ePE membrane.
  • Provides great grip on various terrains due to the Vibram MegaGrip outsole.
  • Offers enhanced ankle support and stability with the mid-cut design.
  • Comfortable fit with the suede leather upper and ergonomic design.
  • Durable and built for challenging UK mountain excursions.

Cons

  • Mid-cut design may limit ankle flexibility compared to lower-cut boots.
  • May require a break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.
  • Can be overkill for simple day hikes on well-maintained trails.
  • Heavier than some lightweight hiking shoes.
  • The aggressive tread might wear down faster on paved surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Ensure a proper fit by measuring your foot and consulting the Scarpa size chart. Consider wearing the socks you plan to hike in when trying on the boots.
  2. Lacing: Use the lacing system to secure the boot snugly around your foot and ankle, adjusting the tension for comfort and support.
  3. Break-In Period: Wear the boots around the house and on short walks to break them in before using them on long hikes or challenging terrain.
  4. Cleaning: After each use, remove dirt and debris with a brush. Wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth.
  5. Waterproofing Maintenance: Use a leather-specific waterproofing treatment to maintain the boot's water resistance.
  6. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  7. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  8. Compatibility: These boots are designed to be used with hiking socks for optimal comfort and performance.
