HIKING BOOTS SCARPA RIBELLE TRK GTX Tonic Orange

The SCARPA Ribelle TRK GTX is a technical hiking boot with a GORE-TEX membrane and dynamic sole, designed for long treks and via ferrata routes. It is designed to provide immediate comfort and reliable support for all-day wear while carrying a rucksack in mountainous terrain.

Which activity and terrain is it designed for?

It is a high-end, technically advanced hiking boot for demanding mountaineering. It is intended for experienced mountaineers and hikers taking on multi-day treks, backpacking expeditions and more technically challenging via ferrata routes. Its robust construction provides stability even when carrying a heavier rucksack over uneven, rocky terrain.

Key features of the SCARPA Ribelle TRK GTX

• GORE-TEX membrane: Provides complete waterproofing and breathability, keeping feet dry when crossing wet meadows or walking in the rain.
• Dynamic sole design: Enables a smooth, natural transfer of weight while walking, helping to reduce fatigue over long distances.
• Optimised weight: At 680 grams (size 42), the boot maintains an excellent balance between robust protection and lightness.
• Support system: The construction provides excellent ankle and foot stability when moving over steep, technical terrain.

In use

On via ferrata routes, the reliable sole and stable construction enable precise footholds on iron rungs and rock ledges, while the support system protects the ankle from sprains.

On multi-day treks with a loaded rucksack, the dynamic sole profile provides a natural, smooth stride, significantly reducing leg fatigue over long stages.

In rainy weather and wet conditions, the GORE-TEX membrane reliably prevents water from getting in while allowing moisture to escape from the inside, keeping feet dry and protected from blisters.

Cut and fit

The boot is built on a medium-width last (Medium Last), offering an optimal balance between a precise fit for technical sections and comfort for long walks.

When choosing a size for SCARPA mountaineering boots, SCARPA recommends going up half a size for the desired fit. This provides enough room for the toes on long descents and when wearing thicker hiking socks.
