Scarpa's Mescalito Planet Shoe is both light and burly, so we don't have to sacrifice either on our alpine approaches. Built with abrasion-resistant synthetic uppers, this pair keeps our feet protected and breathing easy. Plus, its use of recycled yarns keeps our environmental impact down. The midsole's plush foam and supportive shank help fight off fatigue, while the sticky Vibram lugs secure our footing from slick rocks to steep scrambles. And when things really get technical, we pull the to-the-toe lacing into a performance fit.
