What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Rapid XT is my go-to for technical approaches and fast-moving hikes. The suede upper adds durability, while the full-perimeter TPU rand protects against sharp rocks. I love the Vibram(R) Megagrip outsole-it sticks to everything from dry granite to wet roots. The wide toe box gives my feet room to move naturally, and the secure lacing keeps me locked in when scrambling over rough terrain."Built for technical approaches and rugged trails, the Scarpa Rapid XT is designed to handle it all. Combining the durability of an approach shoe with the agility of a trail runner, this hybrid keeps us moving confidently over rocky terrain, steep inclines, and long approaches. The 1. 8mm suede and polyester mesh upper strikes the perfect balance between durability and breathability, while the full-perimeter TPU rand adds extra protection against abrasion. Underfoot, the Vibram(R) Megagrip outsole grips confidently on wet and dry surfaces, and the ergonomic toe shape enhances comfort on long treks. With a cushioned EVA midsole for impact absorption and secure lacing for a locked-in feel, the Rapid XT is ready for whatever the trail throws our way.
