Scarpa Mescalito TRK GTX Women's Hiking Boots, Dark Anthracite and Tropical Green

The Scarpa Mescalito TRK GTX Women's Hiking Boots in Dark Anthracite and Tropical Green are high-performance trekking boots engineered for long-distance mountain trails and technical terrain. These boots feature a robust 1.7–1.9 mm Perwanger suede upper that offers exceptional water resistance and durability. The integration of a GORE-TEX membrane ensures complete waterproofing and breathability, keeping feet dry in various weather conditions. Designed with an ergonomic focus, the boots utilize a 3D Autofit padded collar and a specialized lacing system to provide superior ankle support and a secure, pressure-free fit.

Advantages

The boots incorporate the Activ Impact technology, which utilizes specialized materials in the midsole to absorb ground impacts and reduce stress on the lower limbs during long hikes. The Bi-Density PU midsole provides a stable foundation, while the VIBRAM XS TREK EVO outsole delivers a reliable balance of grip and responsiveness on unpredictable surfaces. The inclusion of Schoeller fabric helps regulate the internal microclimate, ensuring consistent thermal comfort. Furthermore, the construction supports sustainability and longevity, as the boots are designed to be resoled by authorized service centers, extending their functional lifespan.

Suitable for

• Technical trekking and long-distance mountain hiking
• Backpacking with heavy loads
• Hiking on unpredictable or wet terrain
• Outdoor activities requiring ankle stability and impact protection

When it may not be suitable

These boots may be too heavy or rigid for casual walking on flat, paved surfaces or light urban use. They are specifically engineered for demanding mountain environments and may feel excessive for simple, short-distance nature walks.

Key specifications

• Upper material: 1.7–1.9 mm Perwanger suede
• Membrane: GORE-TEX BlueSign Approved, PFC-free
• Midsole: Bi-Density PU with Activ Impact technology
• Outsole: VIBRAM XS TREK EVO compound

How to use

To achieve the best fit, ensure the boots are laced firmly using the metal eyelets and hooks to distribute pressure evenly across the foot. The gusseted tongue should be positioned centrally to prevent debris from entering. When hiking, adjust the lacing periodically if the foot swells or if terrain conditions change significantly. After use, clean the suede upper with a soft brush and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the materials.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your size requirements for thick hiking socks
• Consider the intended terrain intensity
• Check for authorized resole centers in your region

Usage recommendations: To preserve the performance of the GORE-TEX membrane and the suede upper, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and consult an authorized SCARPA service center for resoling before the tread is completely worn down to ensure continued safety and comfort.
