Scarpa Hiking Boots
Scarpa Mustang
Scarpa hiking boots are still manufactured by hand in the foothills of the Dolomite mountains, in the Asolo region, just north of Venice Italy.
If you’re looking to buy a pair of one of the best hiking boots available, Scarpa has a boot for you. Their men’s hiking boots and women’s hiking boots are both made with the fit and durability designed for top performing footwear.
Scarpa is actually an acronym that, in Italian, stands for Società Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima, which translates to Associated Shoe Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Mountain Area. An appropriate name for a company with a mission to bring together all the best shoemakers in the Asolo Region with the goal of producing the best footwear, anywhere.
Following are some of Scarpa’s hiking boots, built with the same tradition of craftsmanship and innovation as when the company was started in 1938. Click on any link for additional information on features and purchasing price.
