An innovative approach to foot support

In Spring 2022, SCARPA will introduce an innovative new running shoe platform, its Golden Gate series of shoes. Inspired by the minimal but structurally robust designs of suspension bridges like San Francisco’s Golden Gate, these shoes introduce EXO construction, which employs a super-strong but minimal matrix wrapping the foot for support. SCARPA is introducing two models next spring, the Golden Gate ATR, a versatile shoe for everything from road to groomed trail, and the Golden Gate Kima RT, SCARPA’s most technical shoe for rugged mountain terrain. 

 
 
 

SCARPA Golden Gate ATR

SCARPA_GoldenGateATR

Built for a wide variety of terrain ranging from road to gravel and pathways to groomed trails, the Golden Gate ATR (All-Terrain Running) is SCARPA’s most cushioned running shoe to date. It also features an array of new technology to optimize performance.

Underfoot, SCARPA’s Adaptive Cushioning System is designed to absorb and return energy efficiently. It uses medium and low densities of EVA in strategically placed locations with a 28/24 stack height to yield a midsole with superior cushioning and excellent energy rebound capabilities. The upper construction is equally unique. Inspired by the structure of suspension bridges like the Golden Gate, SCARPA created EXO construction, which pairs a super-strong but minimal matrix that wraps the foot for support. That is paired with Sock-Fit, a seamless, sock-like upper, and – on the outside – a breathable mesh outer with additional PU supports. A more rounded, open toe box pairs with medium volume for comfort on longer runs.

Other details include a Presa outsole with SCARPA’s Super Gum rubber for superb traction both on and off-road and an Ortholite footbed with recycled materials for highly breathable, long-lasting cushioning inside. 290 grams (men’s 42), 245 grams (women’s 38).

$139.

 
 

 
 
SCARPA_GoldenGateKimaRT

SCARPA Golden Gate Kima RT

Designed to elevate performance in rocky mountain terrain, the Golden Gate Kima RT is SCARPA’s most technical running shoe, combining a unique mid-foot stabilizing system with a carbon-fiber midsole plate that provides rock protection, torsional stability, and thrust response.

Above the carbon plate, SCARPA uses medium-density EVA cushioning for support. Underneath the plate, low-density EVA allows for superb cushioning and adaptation to changing running surfaces. A 22/16 stack height strikes the right balance between cushioning and precision. For added foot stability, SCARPA uses EXO construction, which uses a strong but minimal matrix to wrap the foot for support. That is paired with Sock-Fit, a seamless, sock-like upper, and – on the outside – a breathable mesh outer with added PU support. Combined with the Kima RT’s technical last shape, this all adds up to dialed-in fit for moving fast over technical terrain.

SCARPA’s Presa outsole combines Supergum and Supergum Waterlock Rubber, which offers 25 percent better friction on wet surfaces and adds security for rocky descents. 265 grams (men’s 42), 230 grams (women’s 38).

$179.

 

 
 

SCARPA Mojito Planet Suede

The Mojito Planet Suede is a planet-friendly evolution of SCARPA’s iconic Mojito, the brand’s best-selling lifestyle shoe. The upper is composed of a reclaimed suede achieved through an innovative production process that recycles manufacturing waste without any loss of quality. This means a significant reduction in water waste, less use of chemicals, and lower CO2 emissions during production. The lining, footbed, and rubber outsole are also composed of 30% recycled material and the dual-density midsole is composed of 20% recycled material.

$165.


trail & mountain

hybrid shoes that allow performance for changing conditions

Mountain terrain is varied. What works in one place is usually completely different than what works 1,500 feet higher or lower. SCARPA’s 80-year knowledge of what works in footwear across lines as diverse as light hiking, backpacking, mountaineering, approach, and running means that it’s able to incorporate design influences from multiple categories to address constantly changing needs. Its Spring 2022 collection shows what’s possible when it comes to hybrid construction. 

 
 
 

SCARPA Rush Trail GTX

Walking the line between a trail runner and a light hiker, the Rush Trail GTX is the newest extension of SCARPA’s super-popular Rush family.

The suede upper balances the light and agile feel of a trail running shoe with the support and protection demanded of a hiking boot. Underfoot support, protection and traction come courtesy of the exclusive Presa outsole, which features SCARPA’s Interactive Kinetic System (IKS), a sole design that simultaneously increases traction and allows for more shock absorption on the trail.

The IKS system features impact zones that compress and absorb energy, acting as mechanical shock absorbers. The sole’s SuperGum rubber compound provides secure grip on a wide variety of terrain. In the midsole, a Dynamic Stabilizer Torsion (DST) frame pairs rearfoot stability and torsion control with dual-density compression-molded EVA for lightweight cushioning and responsiveness.

A GORE-TEX Bluesign lining guarantees waterproof-breathable protection. Stretch fabric in the ankle collar provides a soft, comfortable fit with excellent support in a shoe build for day hiking, fast-packing and all-around trail use. 455 grams (men’s 42) and 380 grams (women’s 38).

$169.

SCARPA Mescalito TRK GTX

Integrating design cues from SCARPA’s expertise in the approach shoe category, the Mescalito TRK GTX is a great all-around trail shoe that transitions to rugged terrain, scrambling, and support for heavier loads with a pack.

Its dual-density PU midsole offers long-lasting support and cushioning, combining with support from a durable, premium Perwanger suede upper that integrates a GORE-TEX Bluesign-approved waterproofing package. In the ankle, SCARPA integrates Schoeller Dynatec fabric collar for a comfortable flex zone using a material that adapts breathability levels in response to changing temperatures.

The Vibram outsole with XS Trek Evo rubber offers traction and durability, and pairs with a full-perimeter rand with rubber for traction in the front and PU for stability in the rear. Lacing to the toe offers adjustability for changing terrain. 660 grams (men’s 42) and 545 grams (women’s 38).

$289.

SCARPA Ribelle Lite HD

Setting the bar for lightweight mountain footwear, the SCARPA Ribelle Lite HD combines the efficiency and agility of the Dynamic Tech Roll (DTS) System with a lighter, more flexible upper than its cousin, the Ribelle HD.

The DTS system features an enhanced rocker profile under the ball of the foot that significantly increases walking efficiency, resulting in substantial energy savings during long days in the mountains. The driving concept for the Ribelle family was pairing the protection of a boot with the nimbleness of a trail runner. Its 2D polyurethane midsole is 20 percent lighter than regular PU but provides outstanding shock absorption. Paired with a Vibram sole, this design inspires confidence when tackling technical ground.

The Microtech all-synthetic upper is backed by an HDry waterproof breathable membrane, providing protection and support for heavier loads in rugged mountain terrain. This is an outstanding boot that crosses over from mountaineering to rugged backpacking and off-trail travel. 655 grams (men’s 42) and 565 grams (women’s 38).

$359.

Next-Generation Versions of Top-Performing Rock-Climbing Shoes

Whether it’s a precision tool designed for a specific climb or a performance all-arounder that excels across different disciplines, SCARPA’s collection of 35 rock-climbing shoes offers the right tool for the right job. For Spring 2022, SCARPA unveils next-generation evolutions of well-loved high-performers like the Mago, Instinct slipper, and Vapor lace, along with visionary products like the new Quantix FX, a complete reinvention on how to build a climbing shoe that does it all. 

 
 
 

SCARPA Mago

The all-new Mago dominates small footholds like no other climbing shoe on the market. New innovative materials and further refined technologies perfect this specialized performance shoe.

The highly asymmetric and downturned shape, in combination with a 3D molded TPS toe insert and X-Tension active rubber rand, works in unison giving climbers arch support, maximum toe power, and precision without sacrificing underfoot sensitivity. A unique multi-panel upper features an extended Alcantara toe pocket, providing comfort and a custom-molded fit with use. Strategically placed panels of perforated microsuede provide a glove-like fit.

In the back of the shoe, SCARPA uses its Pressure Absorbing Fit (PAF) heel, which places a softer material between the rands on the achilles area, retaining performance while increasing comfort by dispersing pressure. That is paired with a soft spine for structure and a design that minimizes rubber on the outside of the heel for an adaptable fit and excellent hooking ability.

The 210-gram Mago is the most supportive lace-up in SCARPA’s specialized category and truly excels on micro edges on steep demanding routes. 210 grams (size 41).

$199.

 

 
 

SCARPA Instinct S

The most flexible model in the SCARPA Instinct family, the new Instinct S is designed specifically for steep sport climbing, bouldering, and training.

SCARPA’s new CTS (Combined Tension System) rand technology offers the big toe precision you expect from the Instinct family, thanks to a frame of firm Ilga rubber that wraps up and over the inside of the foot for support, channeling power to the toe area while preventing stretch. This concept results in a high-performing and extremely sensitive shoe that’s totally unique in the market.

The design also incorporates the elasticated fit and tension of M50 rubber across the top of the foot, providing maximum toe-hooking capabilities and increased sensitivity. A full microfiber upper utilizes SCARPA’s REB (Reinforced Elastic Band) technology to ensure a snug, secure fit across the instep for the life of the shoe while the heel features both M50 and XS Grip2 rubber for robust heel hooking. Vibram® XS Grip 2 rubber on the sole makes these shoes stick like glue. Inside, an Alcantara toe pocket provides comfort and molds to fit the climber with use. 240 grams (size 41).

$189.

 

 
 

SCARPA Vapor

SCARPA_Vapor

The updated Vapor is a technical lace-up that provides serious stability and performance. Its supportive midsole and full-length Vibram XS Edge feel right at home on vertical to off-vertical face climbing and crack climbing. A full-length lace to toe closure system offers high adjustability and a precision fit. The Vapor’s new all-leather upper features dual-layer welded TPU overlays to minimize stitching, increase comfort, eliminate hotspots and protect from abrasion. A unique dual-density rubber toe patch combines two different rubber densities into a single piece providing both stiffness and stickiness right where it’s needed. SCARPA’s PAF (Pressure Absorbing Fit) heel system alleviates pressure off the achilles tendon while standing on dime-sized edges. On the edges of the heel, grading the thinness of the materials creates a soft, supple heel pocket. Inside, an all-leather footbed molds over time. 230 grams (size 40). Men’s and women’s.

$185.

 

 
 

SCARPA Quantix SF

The new Quantix SF presents climbing in a new way. SCARPA’s innovative Single Frame technology holds the foot from below like a hand providing even pressure around the entire foot.

The Single Frame is paired with a ¾ length midsole and tapered full-length XS Grip2 outsole providing excellent underfoot support, high friction, and edging capabilities. The unique “finger” pattern along the outside of the rand allows for a natural yet dynamic flex without losing precision. The Quantix SF has a neutral shape with a subtle downturned and a medium to high-angled toe box for an excellent combination of comfort and performance. SCARPA’s PAF (Pressure Absorbing Fit) heel system alleviates pressure off the achilles tendon. The Quantix SF is a cutting-edge model which provides high performance across all styles of climbing.

It’s SCARPA’s best shoe to date for climbers looking for a true combination of comfort, performance, and versatility for different types of climbing. 235 grams (size 40.5).

$179.

This sensitive slipper is the perfect choice for youth wanting to push their limits. It has extended rubber coverage on both the toe and heel, ideal for all hooking possibilities. Its asymmetrical and downturned shape with a medium- to high-angled toe box allows excellent toe sensitivity. Soft materials in the upper reduce unwanted pressure on delicate growing feet. 110 grams (size 31).
