FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The Scarpa Terra II boots offer good waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for cold, wet conditions. However, they do not have integrated insulation and may not be warm enough for deep winter or snowshoeing without additional thermal socks and gaiters.
How often should I re-waterproof the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to re-waterproof after significant cleaning, or when you notice water is no longer beading on the leather surface. Typically, this might be once or twice a year for regular hikers.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, never machine wash your boots. Cleaning should be done manually with a brush, damp cloth, and specialized boot cleaners to protect the leather and waterproof membrane.
What is the weight of a single boot?
Each boot weighs approximately 605g, making them relatively lightweight for their supportive construction.
Do these boots come in other colors?
The Scarpa Terra II is available in brown. Other models or series within the Scarpa range might offer different color options.
What is the primary difference between Terra and Terra II models?
The Terra II model often features updated sole technology or slight modifications to the upper design for enhanced comfort and performance compared to earlier Terra models. Specific details can vary, but the Terra II generally builds upon the foundation of the original Terra.
How do I ensure I choose the right UK size?
Refer to the Scarpa sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, considering that hiking boots should allow space for thicker socks and toe movement during descents.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather boots often require a short break-in period. Try wearing them around the house for increasingly longer periods. Ensure you are using appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists and is severe, the fit may not be correct for your foot shape.
Feet feel wet inside the boots.
Check that the GORE-TEX lining is intact and that water is not entering through the top of the boot. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent gaps. If the outer material is saturated, it may need re-waterproofing. Sweat can also contribute to dampness; consider moisture-wicking socks.
Traction feels poor on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean; mud or debris can reduce grip. For extremely slick conditions, proceed with caution. The sole is designed for a balance of grip and durability, and extreme conditions may require different footwear.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or waterproofing product designed for oiled full-grain leather and GORE-TEX membranes. Regular maintenance will prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready for use out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before heading out on your first walk. We recommend wearing them for shorter walks initially to confirm comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for general trail walking, hiking, and trekking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. Not intended for technical mountaineering or extreme winter conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush after each use. For heavier dirt, use a damp cloth or a specialized boot cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing: Periodically re-apply a suitable leather waterproofing treatment (e.g., wax or spray specifically for oiled leather and GORE-TEX) to maintain the water-repellent properties of the upper. Follow the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
