Mid Hiking Boots Scarpa RAPID XT MID GTX Weight 440 g

Scarpa RAPID XT MID GTX hiking boots are a lightweight, high-performance option for day hikes and multi-day treks. At approximately 440 g, they combine a leather upper with a perimeter TPU band and rubber toe cap for abrasion resistance while keeping overall weight low. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane lining provides waterproof protection and breathability, and the Ortholite insole contributes cushioning and moisture management. The Vibram Agility XT MegaGrip sole integrates a climbing zone at the toe, a rear brake system and a 3D TPU medial insert for stability and reliable traction across varied terrain.

Advantages

The leather upper with EXO lateral reinforcements and a rubber toe cap delivers durable protection without excess bulk. GORE-TEX ePE lining with PFAS-free DWR ensures waterproofness and breathability with reduced environmental impact. The Vibram Agility XT MegaGrip outsole offers high grip on wet and dry surfaces and a balanced 3.5 mm lug depth that favours sensitivity and durability. The Activ Fit construction and 3D Autofit ankle collar provide ergonomic wraparound support and consistent comfort for prolonged use. These boots are resolable at authorised SCARPA service centres to extend service life.

• Day hikes and long approaches on mixed terrain

How to use

Wear Scarpa RAPID XT MID GTX with appropriate performance socks to optimise fit and moisture control. Lace the boots progressively for balanced lockdown from forefoot to ankle and adjust the 3D Autofit collar for wraparound support. Use them for walking on trails, rocky approaches and wet paths; the Vibram outsole provides traction while the GORE-TEX membrane keeps feet dry. After use, dry boots at room temperature away from direct heat, remove the insoles to speed drying and clean off abrasive dirt to preserve materials and grip.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, inspect soles and uppers regularly and resoling early when wear appears on the outsole. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment compatible with PFAS-free laminates if surface wetting increases. Store boots in a ventilated area and avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight.
