SCARPA Rush TRK GTX boot

At its launch in July, Scarpa hailed this as ‘the new benchmark for long, short and all-day summer walks’. But we’re almost into winter as we type and the Rush TRK is still performing perfectly, even in cold rain over frosty ground. It has a dual emphasis on comfort and speed, and succeeds in both, thanks to its lightweight build, grippy traction, and precision roll from heelstrike to toe-off. A particular win is the new Presa outsole, which offers five shock-absorbing areas and superb support on braking, especially on descents. Plus it looks beautiful, and at £185 it’s exceedingly reasonably priced. Yes it’s a fantastic summer boot. But you might just love it all year round. scarpa.co.uk
