Scarpa Ribelle HD Semi-Auto Climbing Shoes - Tonic

Technical mountaineering boots built for demanding alpine routes, the Scarpa Ribelle HD delivers uncompromising waterproof protection and precise semi-automatic crampon compatibility. The HDry® membrane is laminated directly to the upper, eliminating gaps where water can enter and ensuring your feet stay dry in the harshest conditions.

Advantages

The Perwanger suede leather upper (2.8mm) with microfiber inserts offers exceptional durability and abrasion resistance, while the full rubber rand shields the boot from rock and ice. The dual-density PU midsole with TPU insert provides torsional rigidity for edging and front-pointing, yet remains comfortable for long approaches. A speed lacing system with two-zone tension allows quick, precise fit adjustment, and the Pro-Fiber 20 footbed adds cushioning and support.
