How to use

To achieve the best fit, loosen the Speed Lacing system completely before inserting your foot.

What to consider before purchase

• Consider the intended terrain, as these are specialized boots for alpine environments.

Usage recommendations: To maintain the performance and longevity of your boots, clean them after each use and allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and utilize authorized SCARPA resole services before the damage becomes excessive to extend the life of your footwear.
