FAQs

How do I clean my Scarpa Rapid XT shoes?

Brush off any loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Wear hiking socks that provide cushioning and wick moisture away from your feet. The thickness of the sock will depend on the fit of the shoe and the weather conditions.

Can I resole these shoes?

Yes, these shoes can be resoled at an authorized SCARPA resole shop. This will extend the life of your shoes and maintain their performance.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Rapid XT is water-resistant due to its leather construction, but it is not fully waterproof. For complete waterproof protection, consider using a waterproofing treatment.

How long will the Vibram Megagrip outsole last?

The lifespan of the outsole depends on usage and terrain. Regular use on abrasive surfaces will wear down the sole faster. Inspect the sole regularly for wear and tear.

Can I use these shoes for climbing?

While the Rapid XT has a climbing zone at the toe, it is primarily designed for approach and hiking. It may not provide the same level of performance as dedicated climbing shoes on difficult routes.

How do I store my Scarpa Rapid XT shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their condition.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for details on coverage and terms.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size and try loosening the laces. The leather upper may also need some breaking in. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.

Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.

Make sure the outsole is clean. If the problem persists, the outsole may be worn and need replacing.

Leather is cracking or drying out.

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
