Scarpa

Mens SL Activ (B1) Boot

1 2 3 4 5

Read Reviews (5)

The definitive hill and mountain all-rounder, the Scarpa SL Activ delivers the perfect combination of support, flex and protection. As the latest generation of the SL - Scarpa's legendary 3-4 season boot - the SL Activ has some pretty big boots to fill. Not to worry: the SL still offers fantastic support and grip on demanding terrain, but with added comfort for multi-day use. Sturdy enough to take a walking crampon when needed but flexible enough to use as a hill walking boot, the SL is a stunningly versatile piece of kit. From the stiffening materials within the boot which provide tailored, unobtrusive support, through the shape of the padding around the ankle, right down to the design of the lacing eyelets to ensure the boot wraps securely around your foot, Scarpa's attention to the comfort of your feet in the SL is incredible. As well as providing comfort and support, the SL uses sturdy Sherpa leather and sports a high rubber rand for dependable, durable protection. If you're looking for a boot to take you from Snowdonia's craggy peaks to Everest Base Camp, look no further than the SL.

6 times winner of Trail’s best 4 season boot, the Manta is hard to beat for comfort and fit on more technical mountain walks. This version is lighter than previous models, more flexible, yet more stable underfoot. A generous rubber rand adds protection and abrasion resistance.

Light, comfortable and a good stiff sole

I bought these in rock bottom as a returned product. Lets start from the bottom -

The sole is Vibram - a brand which speaks for itself. It is quite stiff, hence the B1 rating, but I have seen it rated as B1/B2, B1.5 and B2. The truth is it is a good stiff sole, with a noticeable flex at the toe. Either side of the bend though it is quite solid - good for balancing on the arch or kicking in with the toe. In terms of crampon compatibility it has a lip at the back (not sure why the picture shows a new classic style crampon?) so it can take grivel new-matic clips at the back. I have the boots in size 47, which dont fit the G10, G12 or air-tech, but do fit Black Diamond crampons without the need for an extension. I'm looking at the BD Seracs for these.

The standard insole is quite hard, but not uncomfortable. I have medium to wide feet, and this boot was very comfortable around the foot. The laces don't however pull through the eyes particularly smoothly, so a progressive lace up is needed.

The boots are also very light, and in a UK climate very warm. I'm yet to use them in the snow but I'll update when I do. From reading elsewhere it might be a case of wearing nice thick socks!

Comfy, warm and confidence boosting

Excellent crampon compatible boot. Used yesterday to do approx 9miles of snow covered Coniston fells. Absolutely faultless! Kept my feet toasty all day and boosted my confidence when ascending steep snowy slopes. When descending I also felt far more sure footed than ever before. I can definitely recommend the Preston store for their expertise and time spent getting me the perfect fit. Thanks!

Great, comfortable boots.

Having not had time to break these boots in I first used them to scale Crib Goch. From the beginning they proved to be an extremely comfortable boot, kept my foot completely dry with plenty of ankle support. A great all round boot, would highly recommend.

Jack of all trades

I spent around 45 -60 minuites with a member of staff at the cotsold outdoor shop in Betws-y-coed talking about what I wanted from a pair of boots and having my feet measured. I was told that these boots would be a good choice for all of my needs. I was somewhat sceptical of leather boots due to having high feet arches and being very prone to recieving blisters (even in trainers). However, i tried on these boot and knew these were the boots for me.

I have already used them on a long walk in up steep tarmac and on a scramble and not recieved a single blister. They are without doubt the comfiest footwear i have ever owned. I would recommend these boot even if you dont require a crampon compatible boot.

overall, a fantastic boot and brilliant customer service as always.

Scarpa SL Activ (B1) review

The first time I wore these boots was on Grib Goch and the Snowdon Horseshoe in heavy rain, followed the next day by Tryffan. Two weeks later I did the Glyders. No a bad test! They were a great, fitted right out the box, completely comfortable, no blisters, fantastic. Great for steep walking and scrambling and descending steep scree gullies and do not feel heavy. The very first thing I did with them was to jog up to Pen Y Pass car park and they were brilliant. To be honest I set out not to buy leather boots but there are not many alternatives in this "must do it all" category but these were the best fit and met all my requirements, in theory at least and in practice so far they have surpassed by expectations. The staff at Cotswolds were good too and spent nearly 1.5 hours with me making sure I got it right. All in all highly recommended boots and in store service.

The best leather boot ever

I have owened an the old Scarpa SL. This was before the ankle upgrade. These boots lasted me over 6 years of of intense daily use. up some of the roughest terain. Bounced of scree and walked though snow and ice in -20c temperatures. They stud up to some harsh conditions. My feet never got wet, i never slipped from the tread. I sat at home nursing my boots not wanting to part from them. But it was time that the old SL's to be put out of there poor missery (sorry boots). Im now the happiest owner of the Brand new Scarpa SL active boots and oh my god. To say that Scarpa have out done them selvs is a total understatemnt, the old boots took some time to bed in but these are as comfy as trainers, as waterproof as wellies and yet as warm as a hot sandy beech. I love these boots. forget about anything else. these boots are well worth the cost. I use mine 5 days a week and they will last, the tread will last and the linner also. I have a brand new hot model and i like her.
Do not consider anything else untill you have slipped your feet into pure luxury.
5*Plus.
Can i say anything else but thank you Scarpa you have made a happy man happier. Also top marks to Cotswold for there sales. I love just popping in just to chat to the guys about stuff. Thanks and keep up the hard work.

Excellent for lower volume feet

The Sherpa GTX is an excellent all round winter/alpine boot for men with slightly lower volume feet. I chose these over the Scarpa Manta partly due to their waterproof lining (which the Manta doesn't have) but also primarily due to the foot shape. With the Manta, Scarpa have moved to a higher volume last (the mould the boot is made on) than previously, whereas the Asolo last is lower volume and slightly narrower. Fit is everything with boots and these fit my feet perfectly.
I found them to be stiff enough for ice-wall climbing yet with enough give in the ankle to make winter hill-walking comfortable. The toe shape is more pointed than some too which was an advantage on more technical ground. The rubber rand protected the boot well on rock and I expect these to remain a favourite for years to come!

Goreblimey!

Did you ever pick your feet in Pakipsy?

No, I don't know what it means either. But I do know that since I joined the elite in mountain boot wearers circles I have found the happiness to which the Dalai Lama himself refers. That's not to say that he wears Mantas but who knows, perhaps he does.

These are thoroughbreds in the field of serious mountain/trekking boots. They need so little breaking in for a stiff and sturdy boot. It's as if they fall in love with your feet and commence a serious relationship with them on contact.

They are lighter than previous models but still evoke the feeling of security experienced by your average Weeble (remember Weebles? They would wobble but never fall down).

They can feel a tad ungainly on a flat level surface but then you wouldn't be walking to the shops in these boots unless you were out to attract attention to yourself. They quite simply excel as a four season all terrain ( except that flat bit I just mentioned ) serious outdoorsy type person piece of hardwear.

Looks like the price has gone up again but , you can't put a price on perfection can you These are the boots to own at any price.

I thank yew!

Fantastic in it's field.

The Scarpa Manta B2 boot is an excellent boot for mountaineering and expeditions. The stability and support that this boot offers is un-paralleled by any other in it's range that I have used. However, people that are looking for something to just walk in, this is not for you as the rigidity of the sole is much more suited to climbing and snow walking.

Overall, This gets 4.9 of 5 from me!

Like slippers!

These boots are amazing, they fitted like slippers straight out of the box and have never been anything other than supportive and comfortable. Not the warmest of boots & I wouldn't recommend them for the coldest of scottish winter days, but good edges in neve and fantastic for days on the Skye ridge. As with a lot of synthetic boots, they do need frequent waterproofing or they do begin to seep on very wet days. A great pair of boots that I would buy again in a heart beat.

very light comfortable boot that fit my narrow feet well. No blisters when used straight out of the box on Bowfell and Crinkle Crags. used with Grivel crampons which fitted this boot perfectly. Feet stayed dry although not really tested as everywhere frozen. Construction up to usual scarpa standards.

good, well fitting boots

I bought these boots because of their B2 rating, but have found they are an excellent boot both on a glacier and in normal walking conditions. Given the awkward shape of my feet - wide at toes, narrow at heel, I find it very hard to find boots that fit and will not cover my feet in blisters, these did the trick, even though they are much less flexible than normal boots, due to the B2 nature. I am very impressed with how well these boots cope in wet conditions, as long as they are re-waterproofed after expeds etc. They serve me well on both green treks home and abroad, and mountainous, snowy conditions alike.

Good Winter boot

Purchased this boot just over a year ago and have since used it in all conditions, from 4ft of snow in North Wales to glaciers in Alaska and green treks both in the UK and abroad. I have found that they are a good buy but they do need frequent waterproofing and cope best in cold conditions where there is no snow melt as the waterproofing is limited in extreme situations.
