Scarpa Women's Zg Lite GTX Wmn High Rise Hiking Boots

Product Information

Underneath, Scarpa has worked in conjunction with Vibram to develop its own outsole. Dubbed the Salix Trek, this sole is built specifically for use with the ZG line of boots, providing excellent traction and mobility, without adding excess weight and bulk. What feels good on my feet may not work for you, which is why it is important to try on a pair of boots or shoes before you buy. All of that said, I think Scarpa’s boot is an excellent utility player that will not only meet, but exceed most people’s needs, whether that’s hiking local trails, heading to the AT, or trekking to Everest Base Camp. Classic Good Looks Impress In fact, the biggest compliment I can give the boot is that I forgot that I was even testing them. That means they simply performed up to m expectations with ease, not drawing undue attention to any glaring performance deficiencies along the way. Breaking Them In

Regularly treat them with a suitable waterproofing treatment applicable to the type of boots you have (See below). We would recommend re-proofing the boots whenever they get particularly dirty or when water stops beading (turning to droplets) on the surface of the boots. A fabric studied especially for Scarpa. KCN-TECH is derived from three high-tenacity textile fibres; Kevlar, Cordura and Nylon woven together to form an incredibly lightweight, durable waterproof breathable fabric. Ideal for use on our Mountain Elite line KCN-Tech ensures the perfect balance between performance and weight. S-Tech is a completely synthetic alternative to leather which provides durability and water resistance with a radical weight saving in comparison to leather. Another benefit of S-Tech is that it has a great memory which means that once is it ‘lasted’ into a shape it will hold that shape as the boot ages despite abrasion etc. This makes it perfect for use on our Mountain Elite line. We recommend using Nikwax Fabric and Leather proof or Grangers G-Max periodically to ensure the highest level of water resistance is maintained. K-TECH/L-TECH/S-TECH-example-Phantom Series/Charmoz Pro/Rebel Lite Take care to apply treatments to tongues, D. rings and hooks. Do not over treat them as this can soften the leather and damage stitching. When buying Waterproof Leather, the quality of the product is going to be one of the factors that you really scrutinise before you commit to buying.Never apply standard boot polish to leather, it will not nourish the leather it will only treat the appearance of the boot The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first.

Built for use in fast hiking and rugged, off-trail alpine locations, the ZG Trek features good ankle support without being overly aggressive. That support extends over the ankle and up the leg to a degree, but not so much that it feels like it’s impeding your natural stride in any way. Before I get too far into the weeds with what makes the ZG Trek GTX standout from the crowd, it is always a good idea to point out buying any type of shoe –– be it a hiker, a runner, a cross-trainer, or a pair of dress shoes –– is a very personal affair.

GORE-TEX

There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. A high quality 2mm leather ideal for the entry level boots in our range. Montana leather is very supple and very lightweight which gives a soft, comfortable fit ideal for entry level boots. The leather is oiled to boost natural water resistance and to improve the cosmetic finish. Use a proofing agent from new, for best results we recommend SCARPA HS12 cream or a water based wax treatment such as Aqueous Nikwax. CALF LEATHERS - example - Ranger 2 Activ/Delta Activ Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Scarpa are of course extremely well known, especially for Leather Boots.

This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for. But don’t let those looks completely fool you. Underneath the hood, the ZG Trek is sporting plenty of modern technology. For instance, it is infused with a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps it waterproof while still maintaining a high degree of breathability.

Water based treatments such as Nikwax should be applied to clean boots whilst the upper materials are still wet Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head.
