Hiking boots Scarpa ZODIAC GTX model — size 42, Anthracite/Sulphur, GORE‑TEX® waterproof

Scarpa ZODIAC GTX hiking boots in size 42, finished in Anthracite with Sulphur accents. These boots combine a water-repellent Perwanger leather upper with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane to provide waterproofness and breathability. The Sock-Fit XT construction wraps the foot like a sock for a close fit, and an extended lacing system with metal eyelets allows fine adjustment from collar to toe. The ABS Precision sole with Bascula Adaptive System and MONT‑VIBRAM compound offers reliable grip and stability on varied terrain while maintaining comfort.

Advantages

The combination of Perwanger leather and 37.5® technology helps regulate foot temperature and resist moisture. Sock-Fit XT construction delivers a snug, secure fit and the extended climbing-style lacing increases fit customization. GORE‑TEX Extended Comfort provides long-lasting waterproof protection with breathability. The Bascula Adaptive System in the ABS Precision sole balances rigidity and pivoting action to improve traction and control on slopes and uneven ground.

Suitable for

• Trail hiking and multi‑day mountain treks
• Mixed terrain with rocks, dirt and variable surfaces
• Walks requiring ankle support and consistent waterproofing

When it may not be suitable

These boots are designed for hiking and mountaineering use; they may feel heavier than lightweight day‑hiking shoes for users seeking minimal weight for short, fast outings. They are not designed as technical alpine crampon boots for steep ice climbing.

Key specifications

• Lining: GORE‑TEX Extended Comfort membrane for waterproofness and breathability
• Construction: Sock‑Fit XT one‑piece stretch tongue and flex point for a close fit
• Lacing: extended, climbing‑style lacing with metal eyelets reaching the toe

How to use

Select the correct size (these are size 42) and adjust the extended lacing for an even, secure fit from toe to collar. Use the Sock‑Fit XT stretch tongue to maintain a close contact with the foot while allowing breathing. For wet conditions, rely on the GORE‑TEX membrane for waterproof protection; allow boots to dry naturally after use and clean off dirt before storage. Use the Bascula Adaptive System to maintain balanced foot placement on slopes and uneven trails.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: suitable for trail and mountain hiking rather than fastpacking or technical ice climbing
• Weight: heavier than ultralight hiking shoes—consider for multi‑day hikes where durability and support matter
• Fit: try on with hiking socks to ensure Sock‑Fit XT construction and extended lacing provide the desired comfort and toe room

Usage recommendations

Use these Scarpa ZODIAC GTX boots for multi‑day hikes and mixed‑terrain treks where waterproofing, ankle support and stable traction are priorities. Maintain them by cleaning and drying after wet use and reapplying leather care products recommended for Perwanger leather to preserve water repellency and flexibility.
