Hiking boots are meant to be built to last, and the SCARPA Kinesis Pro GTX Hiking Boots definitely look as though they should meet that requirement.
The boot doesn’t have the colour and style of some walking boots, but it looks like a no-nonsense solution for many enthusiastic hikers. Is this the case, or are there hidden problems?
There are some walking shoes that are a little more understated in their design, and the Scarpa Vortex XCR Trail Walking Shoes fit that bill.
There are two colour choice, but both include tones of black and grey. It also doesn’t seem like too heavy a shoe.
This all means that there should be potential here for use beyond the hiking trails. The specification contains many features that buyers are after, but does it offer comfort and protection?
The Scarpa Mens Terra GTX Walking Boots is a boot that immediately looks as though it should be up on the hills and trails, rather than walking around an urban landscape. This isn’t the most attractive boot out there.
Aside from the stitching and subtle branding, there is little going on design-wise. Still, this brown walking boot has a strong lace-up closure, full-grain leather uppers, a thick vibram sole and a good grip.
Are these shoes as well-designed for the great outdoors as they seem?
