FAQs
How do I clean my Scarpa Rapid XT shoes?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing. Let them air dry naturally.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Leather can absorb water if not treated, so consider using a water repellent product.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, these shoes can be resoled at authorized SCARPA resole shops.
What kind of socks should I wear?
Use moisture-wicking socks appropriate for the weather conditions and activity. Consider the thickness and support offered by the socks.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information, available on the SCARPA website.
How long will the outsole last?
The outsole's lifespan depends on the terrain and how often you use the shoes. More abrasive surfaces will wear the soles down faster.
Can I use these shoes for climbing?
While these shoes are designed with a climbing zone, they are primarily approach shoes. They are suitable for scrambling but are not designed for technical climbing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Check the lacing system. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider breaking in the shoes with shorter walks.
Poor grip on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean. Replace the shoes if the tread is worn.
Leather is cracking or drying out.
Apply leather conditioner regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Fit: Ensure the shoes fit correctly before use. They should be snug but not tight. Try them on with the socks you plan to wear during activities.
- Break-in: New leather shoes may need a break-in period. Start with shorter hikes to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Leather Care: Treat the leather upper with a leather protector to maintain its quality and water resistance. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat when not in use.
- Compatibility: Compatible with various types of socks, depending on the weather conditions and activity. Ensure the socks provide adequate support and moisture-wicking properties.
