Scarpa Mescalito Woman climbing shoes, size 38.5, ceramic gray, weight 330 g

Scarpa MESCALITO WOMAN in Ceramic Grey is a women's outdoor shoe designed for light- to medium-duty trekking and approach use. The upper is made of water-repellent suede with an elastic tongue and collar for added comfort, while an external TPU heel support and an asymmetrical rubber toe cap increase protection and containment. The shoe weighs approximately 330 g (size 38.5) and features a resolable construction for extended lifecycle.

Advantages

This model combines a water-repellent suede upper with extended lacing inspired by climbing footwear to provide a customisable fit that reaches to the toe. A dual-density EVA midsole with an anti-torsion TPU insert improves stability and precise footing. The Dynamis LB Vibram® LiteBase sole reduces overall weight by using a 50% thinner profile while preserving Vibram® grip and durability. Built-in 37.5 technology helps regulate humidity and temperature inside the shoe.

Suitable for

• Light- to medium-day hikes and approach routes
• Technical trails requiring precise footing and grip
• Everyday outdoor use where comfort and durability are required

When it may not be suitable

It may not be ideal for long-distance backpacking with very heavy loads, as the shoe is optimised for agility and low to moderate weight rather than maximum load-bearing support. It is also not intended for fully waterproof conditions—while the suede is water-repellent, the model is not specified as fully waterproof.

How to use

Use the extended lacing to adjust fit precisely from toe to ankle, tightening or loosening sections to suit foot shape and terrain. The shoe is intended for outdoor walking, approach sections, and technical trails where secure footing and agility are important. For best performance, pair with appropriate socks and ensure the shoe is fitted to allow slight toe movement on descents.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: choose this model for approach, day hiking and technical trails rather than heavy backpacking
• Water resistance: suede is water-repellent but not fully waterproof—consider a waterproof model for persistently wet conditions
• Fit: extended lacing offers customization; try on with the socks you plan to use outdoors
• Resoling options: authorised resoling is available—resole before excessive wear to extend life

Usage recommendations

For best results on mixed terrain, use the Scarpa MESCALITO WOMAN with medium-thickness hiking socks, adjust the extended lacing for a secure midfoot fit, and inspect the sole regularly; resoling at an authorised centre will prolong the shoe’s service life.
