Hey guys, I found this film on an old hard drive. I forgot I’d filmed it.. latest update, it’s been another 6 months and I still love my boots!! 😁

I have these same boots and can’t imagine how a boot could be any better for what its suited for. It’s like wearing two cushions around your feet surrounded by a protective shell. I feel more rugged and comfy, wonderful boot.

mine are still going strong.

Excellent quality review of an excellent quality boot. I have been wearing Scarpa boots for about 30 years and are my mainstay of trekking boot. I have broad feet and find with the right size choice they are total comfort. I bought a pair of mid-weights last week, a pair of Cyrus Mid GTX and have done just wearing in 10 miles or so. You look after your boots very well, showing me up! Your boots looked good out in the Brecons the other week :) Good video, thanks for sharing. W :)

I did clean and dubbin them the day before we went, just for added waterproofing.. usually I go months between cleaning them up sessions. I was hesitant about shelling out £200 for boots but I absolutely love them!

Love my Scarpa GTX boots. I got mine thanks to Wye Explorer (Mark). Smashing review and very truthful as always, Dan.

I recently bought the ranger version, done about 30+ miles in them and not broke in yet, still uncomfy despite fitting fine. I'm sure they will give in eventually! In the mean time I'm wearing my Scarpa Mistral's, instantly comfy out of the box 😁

Thanks for that. I've been thinking about these boots. My current boots are the Lowa renegade GTX, which are great, but have stretched a lot and I now need an insole with them.

I didn't go to buy any particular type, I just let the guy in the shop advise me, he brought me 3 pairs that suited my feet. I forget the other brands now, but these were the most comfortable and I've not regretted it since.

Bought a pairs of these today. Very happy. Thanks for your video. Really helped me make a decision.

My first ever hiking boot was a pair of Scarpa circa 1978. I've had to cut the toes off now because child size twelve doesn't match adult size twelve so they do leak... To be honest I was sad to grow out of them they were probably the best boots I've ever owned.

Those boots are magnificent. They remind me of an astronaut's suit, completely self-contained. I have a story:: in 1975 I bought a pair of expensive Danner leather boots, much like the Scarpas, but without the rubber oversole. I immediately treated the leather with SnoSeal, which is a beeswax treatment. They never leaked, never, after many rough miles. Believe it or not, I tossed them out in 2012, after a bout with cancer where I forgot about them and they were immersed completely in water for months, causing irreversible rot to the leather inners. I had them re-soled with the original Vibram in 1995. So, moral of the story...I recommend SnoSeal. LOL...I still go on short hikes now, but I wear US Army Goretex combat boots, which are terrific, too. I wish you many miles and dry socks to you in these! :)

Thanks for this very helpful. I think I will do the same and go to cotswold and get them to measure me properly. Those boots look really well made and as you say you get what you pay for. Buy cheap buy twice as they say. Thanks for the content.

yeah, my buddy Rob told me I should go and get measured properly.. I was dubious about shelling out so much money for boots but he was right. Getting fitted is vital especially at that price, I absolutely love these boots. Cheers for watching. Dan

'Buy once -cry once' They're a quality boot, if you spend decent coin, you get a decent product. Lookin' cool & saving pennies is fine until you've got wet feet....again! Top tip with the 2 pairs of socks😎👍, anyone who's Para or RMC will say the same, '2 sock combo to avoid the blisters'👍

Dan👍👍 Nice selection the Scarpa boots, never tried a pair myself but understand they're quality. I've used Vasque boots over the years for most of my outdoor needs, but they're not what they used to be. Seems like the major boot manufacturers have seen fit to copy Nike's thinkology..."make em look cool and people will buy them". Glad your boots are holding up. I'm in the market for a new pair, now which cool looking boots should I buy?

I didn't have any boot in mind when I went in the shop, out of the 3 the guy suggested these were the most comfy. not regretted it so far. I think this video was filmed around this time last year, they are still as good now as they were then : )

I prefer brown leather boots to synthetics I purchased a pare of scarpa rangers a few years back and they gave me nothing but problems. I've been using hi tec summet pro's the last two years but I'm needing new boots thinking of getting scarpa terra's. What do you think.

I rate scarpas, had a pair years ago and wish I knew what Id done with them

This review is helpful and persuades me that I'm looking at the right boot. But I'm in France and you cannot get the ordinary leather version - just the one with the suede finish. Is there any significant difference in the permeability of suede finish versus smooth leather? Intuitively it feels like a suede finish is going to soak more easily.

@CampLifeBushcraft

I'm not 100% but it seems to me the suede would need more regular treatment as the very least.

Hi, I enjoyed watching your video of the Scarpa trek boots. What do u use to wax your boots and has it darkened the color of the nubuck leather. Regards John

I use Dubbin, it is a clear leather care product. really old school. my dad used to clean his football boots with it. it has no effect on the colour.

I bought Scarpa Cyrus a couple of years ago. They instantly leaked ! 130 tea bags,,, Shyt.

These boots were made for walking 👍
