Scarpa Mescalito GORE-TEX Men's Walking Shoes

The Mescalito GORE-TEX is a technical shoe designed for long approaches and more technical scrambling in damp conditions.

GORE-TEX Upper

The upper of the Mescalito is made of water-resistant suede that is highly durable and hardwearing with GORE-TEX technology, to provide durable waterproofing. The material moulds to your foot shape for a precise fit that makes it feel as though the shoe was made just for you. The membrane allows cool air to flow in and out; the constant cycle provides the feet with ventilation, keeping them feeling fresh over a long period. A lightweight lateral PU rand will shield the shoe, protecting it from any scuffs and scrapes on rocky climbs. In addition, there is a rubber toe cap, which protects the forefoot and improves grip. A heel counter will hold the rearfoot in a strong and upright position. Long laces that run from the toe to the top of the foot are easy to secure, allowing you to find a perfect fit every time. A soft, padded tongue and ankle collar will improve comfort and reduce the risk of irritation from rubbing and chafing. The collar uses Autofit, a technology by Scarpa that ensures maximum adaptability and comfort of the upper, reducing the impact stress on the Achilles and malleolus area. Great performance and comfort are guaranteed on any terrain.

Dual-Density Midsole

With a dual-density midsole, the Mescalito will provide you with supreme comfort and protection. This is because the midsole has different characteristics. At the bottom of the midsole, the EVA is extremely densely packed. This will mean that all shocks and heavy impacts are attenuated instantly and effectively, preventing the forces from reaching the sole. Additionally, the EVA can transfer this energy into rebound, giving you an added spring in your step. Towards the top of the midsole, the EVA changes, as it is softer and less dense. This will mean that every step you will feel soft and cushioned, making the first step of the day feel as comfortable as the last. Underneath the heel, the shoe uses the Heel Tension System. This offers great stability and adaptability to the severe stress derived from steep routes. The TPU material helps the upper prevent torsional twists and makes walking easier even on difficult, rough terrain.

Vibram Dynamis Outsole

Grip and traction on the most challenging of terrain, whilst also keeping the shoe extremely lightweight. This is down largely to the Vibram Dynamis Outsole. The rubber can form a solid connection with a wide range of surfaces, keeping you feeling stabilised and upright. The rubber itself is abrasion-resistant and will maintain its shape and definition despite use on rocky ground. An aggressive lug design will anchor your feet to the ground, especially in wet conditions, providing a solid and firm base to push off from.
