Scarpa Men's Zodiac GTX High Rise Hiking Boots

Product Information

Gore-Tex liner does a great job sealing out moisture while still allowing the foot to breathe in more moderate temperatures. Additional information about how data is collected and processed by third-party analytics vendors is found at: Using Cocona's 37.5 technology, Scarpa have lined the inner of the Zodiac with this innovative material to enhance the breathability and to remove moisture around 25% faster. This also allows the inner of the shoe to dry 250% faster as the surface area is much denser; allowing less moisture to enter into the fabric.

Excellent combination of comfort, stability, and protection for high-mileage days and technical terrain.

The Zodiac is the ideal choice for someone wanting a boot feel on the lower half without the ankle support of a full boot, or for someone demanding a stiff and dependable approach shoe that'll last years of use and abuse.For those looking for maximum underfoot support and comfort without the height of a full boot, the Zodiac is a perfect choice (provided it fits). I also dug the 1.8mm grey Suede Perwanger uppers and bright orange and yellow accents. More than just Italian flair, these colored areas in the boots’ soles indicated its four-density midsole. The grey in the heel is made from HD Polyurethane. The yellow in the heel is the LD EVA heel insert. The orange in the midfoot is MD EVA. And the yellow under the tow is HD EVA. If you don’t know, EVA is ethylene vinyl acetate, an elastomeric polymer material that is rubber-like in softness and flexibility. It is lighter than traditional leather and rubber boot construction without sacrificing support or cushioning. This is one of the reasons why the boots are so dang light. This test will tell you if the shape of the internal heel cup matches your heel to ensure it holds you securely, especially when ascending steep ground. We are trying to eliminate the dreaded heel blister. Scarpa also caters to those seeking everyday comfort and style. Scarpa walking shoes are designed to deliver both functionality and fashion. Whether you're strolling through the city streets or exploring local trails, these shoes offer unparalleled comfort, support, and versatility. The iconic Scarpa Mojito is a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts and urban explorers alike, providing a blend of casual style and performance-driven features. If you can see this amount of space then you are pretty much on the way to making sure that your boots are the correct size. This space between your toes and the end of the footbed ensures that you will not stub your toes on the inside of the boot when you descend. This can be excruciatingly painful. If you can’t see this amount of space then it’s a good bet that the boots will be too small.

But let’s not dwell on what you don’t have, instead we shall teach you how to ascertain your size using some common household objects. The EVA in the midsole may eventually wear out. But with PU being part of the construction as well, the boot should be relatively long-lasting. NOTE: The above table is only a guide. Manufactures don’t like tomake it easy as every single oneof them strays from the measurements above.In our Hereford shop we offer a professional boot fitting service where we assess your feet, find a selection of boots that match you foot shape and most importantly we make sure that they are comfortable.This iseasy to do in the shop, where we have access tothe right tools, the option of letting you try on as many styles as you like and a knowledgeable member of staff that cancommunicate directly with you regarding your needs. You should now be able to see approximately 2 cm (about an index fingers width) of the footbed poking out in front of your toes. After extensive testing, I’m confident in saying that the Zodiac Plus GTX will keep going mile after mile. As mentioned above, the uppers are constructed with durable Perwanger suede and reinforced with a rubber rand and rigid rubber heel box. In addition, given that the midsole is made with three layers of EVA and the longer-lasting PU, this boot is built to stand the test of time and maintain its support, protection, and comfort even after hundreds of miles on the trail. However, even after the most rigorous assessment and testing, there is no better way to be absolutely sure than to have the boots on your feet for an extended period of time. We therefore offer our Home Trial Period which gives you the opportunity to wear the boots around your house to give you an indication of how they feel before you venture outside. We recommend that during the Home Trial Period that you wear the boots for as long as possible and at different times of the day, wear them up and down stairs, when moving around and when resting, you can even sleep in them if you want.

We put the men’s Zodiac Tech GTX through its paces for this review, and Scarpa also offers a dedicated women’s design for the same price. The features and construction are nearly identical between the two boots, including a Gore-Tex liner, leather upper, EVA and PU midsole, semi-automatic crampon compatibility, and Vibram outsole (the women’s utilizes their Mulaz S compound). The women’s Zodiac Tech GTX is a little lighter at 2 pounds 5.4 ounces per pair and comes in a greenish blue colorway compared to the men’s orange design, but you can expect similar all-around performance between the two. If any provision in these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. For those venturing into more technical terrain, Scarpa hiking boots are the ultimate companion. These boots are specifically designed to withstand the rigors of demanding hikes, offering enhanced ankle support, rugged outsoles, and advanced waterproofing technologies. When it comes to performance-driven hiking boots, Scarpa is a brand that stands out. The Terra GTX combines rugged construction with the innovative Gore-Tex technology, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable even in wet conditions.Underfoot padding is relatively thin and firm, giving the boot a noticeably stiff and unforgiving feel (although adding an insole helped considerably with overall comfort). But Scarpa doesn't stop at walking boots - their versatile range of footwear extends to other outdoor pursuits as well. If climbing is your passion, Scarpa climbing shoes are a must-have. With their ergonomic designs and durable construction, these climbing shoes provide the perfect blend of comfort and technical precision.
