Scarpa

I bought this shoes twice.

I haven't been on a trek with these boots yet but they feel like they will handle anything that I can throw at them. They are built well and have very good support. My ankle locks into the cup very well and my foot does not move around. I recommend ordering a half size bigger for a good fit that will leave room for natural swelling that happens during hiking or for use with heavy socks. The boot is all leather so some brake-in will be needed. The sole is still but flexible so it should work well for wearing a reasonably heavy pack but the soles are not as rigid as mountaineering boots. I made a good choice with these

Not the most fashionable looking shoes in the world, but that's not why I bought them. I normally wear a 10.5, but I had to order an 11.5. They run a full size small. I just barely got them, but they seem to have a little spot that pushes down kinda hard on the top of my foot. I'll see if that goes away with being worn in or if it stays that way

I needed a pair of hiking books for a trip to The Grand canyon this summer. After reading the positive reviews for these boots I brought them. It states that you have to buy a 1/2 size smaller. I wear an 8.5 and I brought the 8. They fitted me perfect. I wore them to work where I walk , bend and stand for 8 hours the first day. They really were comfortable without any breaking in period. Wear thick sock.

These are well made boots that are perfect for light hiking and for around-town use in the winter. For me, the fit seems slightly snug compared to other Scarpa boots I have used, but not enough to need a smaller size than my usual Scarpa size. The snugness of the fit is actually a bonus for warm weather use, since I can wear them comfortably with fewer or thinner sock layers than I typically use for hiking in boots of this type. I haven't owned these long enough to comment on the long term durability, but so far, so good.

Purchased these as a gift for my Dad, he loves them as his go to all around winter boot.

These are nice shoes. Comfortable. Quality appeared to be good. I love that they are made in Italy vs. China!!! How they appear on the site is pretty much how they appeared in person - nothing weird there. Thought they were a tad bit overpriced, BUT...again, they are made in Italy vs. China!

For a better performance, I would buy a size smaller, as they are very comfy and not aggressive at all, no lining either (will stretch). I wear street 35, so 35 is comfy (I wanted it this way), but the heel is kinda empty. Still a good rubber to smear, and definitely awesome to use on steep boulder problems and long easier trad climbs. Good shoe to give toes a break from the aggressive pointy shoes, way healthier.

I have always high regard for Scarpa boots having had two pair over the years. These are at the same high standard.

I use the Scarpa Technos as an alternate pair of climbing shoes. The shoe is well made with good lacing system and sticky soles; plus it's made in Italy. Toe box is stiff and tight. In addition, Scarpa sizing runs different than other climbing shoes. eg: I also climb in La Sportiva Mythos. I wear a size 40.5 in the Mythos, and a size 41 in the Technos [my street shoe size is 42.5]. The Mythos I can leave on all day; whereas, the Technos I need to take off in between climbs (they are tighter than the Mythos). However, the price is right! These shoes cost the same as a resole; plus they are brand new!!
