When it may not be suitable

How to use
To use the Scarpa RUSH 2 PRO GTX shoes, ensure your feet are clean and dry before putting them on. Insert your foot and adjust the laces starting from the bottom to achieve an even distribution of pressure across the instep.

After use, remove any mud or debris from the outsole and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify your size requirements for a comfortable fit during long hikes
- Consider the intended terrain to ensure the hiking-specific sole meets your needs
- Assess the need for waterproof footwear in your typical outdoor environments
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and longevity, clean the exterior with a soft brush and water after each hike. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the structural materials of the shoe.
