Scarpa Mescalito GTX approach shoes - shark/azure size: 48

Technical approaches often demand a shoe that can grip rock like a climbing slipper, yet still provide comfort for the long hike back to the car. The Scarpa Mescalito GTX solves this problem with a precise, board-lasted fit and a sticky Vibram® outsole, while a GORE-TEX® lining keeps your feet dry through stream crossings and sudden showers.

Who is it for

Built for men who tackle technical approaches, via ferrata, and light trekking, this shoe suits climbers and mountaineers who need reliable edging power and all-day comfort. The extended lacing system lets you fine-tune the fit from toe to ankle, making it ideal for those who demand a secure, performance-oriented feel on varied terrain.

Tips

For the best fit, try the shoes with the socks you plan to wear on approaches. The extended lacing allows you to adjust volume in the forefoot, so take time to fine-tune the tension. After use in wet conditions, remove the footbeds and let the shoes air dry away from direct heat.
