If you are looking for a great value leather boot, look no further. I've never bought a Scarpa boot before , but I am sure I've made the right choice at a very competitive price for me. The boots are well made, hopefully lasting for at least a couple, maybe more of Dartmoor walking years.
Following three short 'break in walks' just in case they were required,and they were not, I have now used the boots across open moorland, bogs and high Tors with much success, leaving my feet dry and blister free.
There are many more expensive boots on the market, and some even cheaper, but these Scarpa's appear to be all I require feet wise to allow me to walk in comfort during wet months walking across open country.
My normal size of 9 fitted well, but slightly on the tight side so I optied for the next size up and with good socks the boots fit really well leaving my toes with plenty of room and no rubbing.
As I have said, this brand is new to me, but up to now I feel I have made a sound purchase.
