The 9th incarnation of the well-loved SL Active modern, these new and improved trekking boots use Scarpa's 80 years of boot-making experience to be lighter, neater, and much more comfortable.
Super tough and durable, the Sherpa leather upper is extra thick for added protection, and the HS12 tanning process provides exceptional water and wear-resistance. Softer Nubuck HS12 leather makes up the ankle cuff, for improved flex with the same strength. Moreover, an abrasion-resistant micro-rand runs around the outside of the boot and over the toe box to provide protection of both the upper and your foot.
A Leather and Cocona® lining ensures further waterproofing while still remaining breathable, so you're not distracted by any discomfort on the trail. The Performance Flex Plus insole provides excellent support, innovated to find the perfect balance between flexibility and total lateral support so you can keep on going, no matter the terrain.
A Vibram Biometric Trek outsole provides excellent stability, giving unparalleled traction and grip, with an anatomical design that allows superior foot rolling motion, providing support instead of weighing you down.
Speed lacing is incorporated into the design, allowing optimal adjustment of the internal volume of the boot, facilitating the perfect wrapping of the foot. Fast and simple, it allows for an optimised fit of the foot for improved confidence in your feet.
For excellent mobility and protection, choose the SL Active trekking boots from Scarpa, which provide exceptional support without any unnecessary weight.
They are comfortable, but for every day use they are a poor decendant of the original Scarpa SL boots that I have been using since the early 1990's.
They are not as well made, and the laces keep undoing.
I will not be buying another pair of these again... Scarpa have undone themselves...
Scarpa... if you are reading this... you need to 'buck up your quality and ideas' your product is currently sh*te

Great boots, still breaking them in but superbly made, comfortable and very waterproof. The Merino wool socks I purchased are a must in my opinion as they add a lovely softness and amazingly do get rid of any sweat.
The boots were a recommendation from a friend that walks every day and after 3 years are still in good condition so great value for money as most of my previous boots have fallen apart after a year or so..
