SCARPA - Rapid LT Men's

Might want to look into the new Scarpa Rapid LT (released Spring 2025). I've had everything from Altra, Topo, LA Sportiva, Scarpa, etc. Really really stoked on the fit, function, weight, and design of the Rapid LT's. This shoe is kind of filling a niche for me somewhere between crampons and a trail runner (thats a big niche). 

Scarpa has most of their shoes in 14US. I’ve the same size and have Rapids and Ribelle Run 2, as well as a couple of pairs of boots and casual sneakers, made by Scarpa. They do tend to fit narrow, which is exactly what I need, but not everyone

I have a wide foot. I wear a wide in basically everything when available. With that being said, I have 6ish pairs of Scarpas and love them all. I just size up a half to a full size over my other shoes. I keep trying other brands for backpacking and continue to fail. No clue why I keep trying other shoes because I love every pair of Scarpas I’ve ever owned. I even have an old pair of their mountaineering boots that are probably 40 years old and they have another 40 years of life in them.

Try scarpas. I wear wides in most everything I can but nothing works as well as Scarpas sized up. My foot is basically shaped like a slice of pizza and my heel is held into place perfectly in all my Scarpas.

Teva flip flops for dry Wednesday and Thursday wandering. Scarpa trails shoes for dry Friday to Sunday Zamberlain Hiking boots and Gaiters if wet and muddy.

Scarpa for more durability than topos

I’ve since switched to Scarpa and I love them.

Scarpa, I love mine.
