Scarpa Mojito Hiking Shoes - Suede (For Men)

I have worn Scarpa shoes and boots for many years now. I have come to expect a certain quality with their products. A few lately have been disappointing, but these are not. Excellent quality and perfect fit. Thanks again.

I really wanted to like these shoes but the toebox is very low volume and uncomfortable. They don't look like they will stretch much (lacing goes to the toe) so unfortunately, they are going back.

The make of the shoe is good. The quality of the materials is as it should be. But, these shoes, like so many other products from Sierra Trading Posts are manufacturer's rejects because they are mislabeled, which would not be a problem if STP QC'd the merchandise they purchase instead of just passing it on to customers as first-first closeout goods. Of course this is a lot of work. But selling online has certain obvious challenges. Only one of which is that you cannot inspect and try on the merchandise prior to purchase.

I just got these today, but I'm loving them already. I'm a carpenter. So, I'm on my feet a lot and my shoes take a ton of abuse. These seem as well made as all of the Scarpa climbing shoes I've owned. The lacing took a few minutes to get right. But they fit like a glove. Love them so far!

The problem with Sierra Trading Post is that they often do not present the correct details for the products they sell. This shoe is Scarpa's Mojito Leather (lined) casual or multisport shoe. It is not specifically designed for hiking. In fact, the shoe does not have a bellows tongue to keep out debris or water. But is does have a soft, smooth leather lining throughout, like a fine dress shoe. But, sizing remains an issue for Scarpa as this shoe runs narrow and uses the top to toe lacing to accommodate standard width feet. I wear a 45.5 in a Zamberlan 996 hiking boot, (another quality Italian shoe maker) which will accommodate a boot sock comfortably. But, a 45.5 in this Scarpa is a close fit even in a dress-weight wool sock, forcing me to lace the shoe loosely near the toe to get a comfortable fit. I did take it for a hike over a fire road in the South Encino (California) hills and they did quite well over smooth rock surfaces, loose cinders, sandy road and uneven, off-road grassy areas. They are comfortable to drive in and just okay around town.
