SCARPA
|
SCARPA is a prestigious Italian brand dedicated to manufacturing high-performance technical footwear for mountain and outdoor activities. It was founded on August 6, 1938, by Rupert Guinness (the second Earl of Iveagh) in the Asolo region of the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy. In 1956, the company was acquired by the Parisotto family. The name is actually an acronym for *Società Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima* (Associated Footwear Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Foothills). Today, SCARPA is a benchmark brand and a global leader in the sector of technical footwear for mountaineering, alpinism, and outdoor activities. |
Why choose SCARPA footwear
Constant innovation
They pioneered the use of plastic in high-altitude mountaineering footwear and continue to revolutionize the market with lightweight designs—such as the Ribelle range—that offer great torsional rigidity without the excessive weight of traditional boots.
High-performance Vibram soles
They incorporate Vibram soles specifically designed to provide exceptional grip on rock, ice, wet surfaces, and highly demanding technical terrain.
Comfortable, adapted lasts
They offer slightly more generous profiles that ensure comfort for wider feet, alongside specific design lines that optimally adapt to the ergonomics of the female foot.
Extreme durability
They use premium construction materials—such as select leathers (e.g., Perwanger) and high-end waterproof membranes—that offer outstanding resistance to abrasion from rock and stone, as well as the rigors of continuous alpine use.
