The Scarpa RUSH TRK GTX trekking boots are engineered for stability and comfort on challenging mountain terrain. These boots feature a robust 1.7–1.9 mm Perwanger suede upper, known for its water resistance and durability, combined with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane to ensure your feet remain dry and breathable in various weather conditions. The design incorporates the 3D Autofit padded collar for ankle support and a specialized lacing system that distributes pressure evenly for a secure fit.
Advantages
These boots utilize the advanced Presa TRK-01 sole, which features a high-traction SUPERGUM compound and an Interactive Kinetic System with seven cushioning domes to provide targeted support and shock absorption. The integration of Activ Impact technology reduces stress on the lower limbs during long hikes, while the Activ Fit system ensures a precise, ergonomic shape tailored for performance. Furthermore, the boots are designed to be resoled, allowing you to extend the lifespan of your footwear significantly.

How to use
To achieve the best fit, loosen the laces completely before inserting your foot. Adjust the lacing system starting from the bottom to ensure even tension across the instep, then secure the ankle area to provide the desired level of support. Ensure the tongue is centered to prevent discomfort during movement. After use, clean the boots with a soft brush and water, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the leather and membrane.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the size 41.5 is appropriate for your foot shape and sock thickness.
- Consider the intended terrain, as these are specialized for mountain trekking.
- Verify the compatibility with your preferred hiking socks for optimal comfort.
Usage recommendations
For maximum longevity, we recommend having the soles professionally replaced at an authorized SCARPA resole shop before the wear reaches the midsole.
