Scarpa Terra Review by Trailblazer Outdoors

- The Scarpa Terra is a classic uk walking boot with a modern twist.
Occasionally, (and inaccurately), called the Terra 2, this is the latest edition of the classic SCARPA Terra. Updated in 2018 with a wider toe area and a stiffer sole unit, it finds a sweet spot in UK hill walkers general requirements. Perfect for long moorland trails or light mountain use, this boot will be a companion to those who love walking.
A generous PU midsole and semi-stiffened stability board, coupled with the excellent Vibram outsole, gives a stable and very cushioned footbed. This is coupled with a full-grain nubuck leather upper and this is backed by the ever reliable gore-tex waterproof membrane.
These two elements combine to produce a stable, comfortable and reliably waterproof walking boot.
Diana has owned a pair of Terra for a number of years and they can be seen in the video in action. She loves their relatively lightweight nature, but appreciates the full leather upper backed by the gore-tex membrane which results in dry feet, whatever the weather!
Used to walk the North York Moors National Park trails and the wonderful Lake District and Scottish highlands, these boots have been put through their paces and not found wanting.
The leather will require regular after care, but this is made easy by using either Scarpa's own HS12 cream of the Nikwax water-proof cream for leather. Failure to do so will result in reduced performance and premature cracking of the leather. - กีฬา
Great review thank you. For those wanting to know how to identify the difference between the old and new version, you just have to look at the leather around the ankle. On the old version it is plain leather, on the new version there is a stitched pattern.
Hi Loz ☺️ glad you liked the review 👍🏻 Scarpa tend to change things for the better and this is definitely the case with the Terra 😊 Thanks for your input 😄 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏔⛺️
Great review, thank you...! Got mine yesterday and did 10 miles today - so far so good. No issues, we'll pleased...😉
Glad you enjoyed the review ☺️ they are great boots 🥾👍🏻 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏔🌀
I was talking to you yesterday in your shop, we where talking about wild swimming and wild camping, I just subscribed, I will check out some of your videos and see you the next time we come into your shop😀👍
Yes I remember ☺️ hope enjoy the vids 👍🏻 feedback is always welcome 😊 enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕🏔🌀
Best boots ever,on my third pair 💕
They are good 😊 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏔🌳🌞🌀
Great and very informative review ! Scarpa does describe the leather as full grain, not an oiled nubuck on their website. Best regards from America.
Hi Steven, thanks for your comment, I’m glad you liked the review ☺️ Nubuck is an odd one and we get asked about it a lot in the shop- it gets confused with suede 🤔 it is, in this case, effectively a full-grain leather that has been sanded on the outer and then oiled to give its final finish- in this type of boot, (gore-tex lined light calf skin leather upper), I prefer oiled nubucks as they seem to absorb shoe creams better than more traditional smooth finish leather- leather quality and type is a complex business, (which I still have much to learn)- it’s origins are important, as are the tanning processes that are used- in our experience, for the weight, this leather is as good as it gets on lighter weight boots 🥾
Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕🌞🌀
@@WildcraftBritain I have a pair arriving on Monday. Do you recommend Scarpa HS12 as a proofer or Nikwax Waterproofing Wax For Leather ( or something else ) ?
@@stevenroche9874 I rate both those products, (and use both- it’s mine I use in the video ☺️)- I use nikwax as an everyday easy use, (as it goes on wet or dry leather), and HS12 as a more penetrative conditioner 👍🏻 there’s lots of others out there, that’s what we use as they work well 😊
@@WildcraftBritain I find the Nikwax works very well yet not very long lasting. Does the HS12 give longer lasting performance ( I have never used it, I have a jar on order ) ?
@@stevenroche9874 in my experience, yes, it lasts longer and seems to penetrate better 🥾
I'm really keen to get a pair but I'm just a bit concerned about how much mountain terrain they'd be able to deal with? I'm going to be doing a trek in Nepal (Annapurna circuit). It's path the whole way with some rocky bits but there's no picking your way over lots of rocks etc as I understand.
Hi Nick, having never been on the trails you mention it’s hard to know what to advise 🤔 they sound perfect for your trip, reliably water proof and reasonably stable underfoot for the weight- if you go for a more mountain oriented boot, it will be heavier and stiffer underfoot, which on the good paths could prove tiresome- it’s ultimately a call only you can make- have you asked on forums what other people have used on the same trip? It’s a tough one as we all have different expectations and experience ☺️ hope your trip goes well what ever your boots!🥾 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕🏔🌀
I have a pair but not sure if I have the older version or the newer version how do I know the difference?
There are some aesthetic differences, but I can’t remember them ☺️ compare yours to the present Scarpa Terra pictures on their website 👍🏻 Scarpa made the change in 2018, so if you got them before that date they will be the older version, after that, by about 2019 all the old stock should have sold through 🤔 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕🌞🌀
Ow about very hot seasons? Were they still feel comfortable?
That’s a question. I’m often asked about various kit and it’s a difficult one to answer as there are many nuances 🤔 these are not a summer boot but can be worn in summer in the right conditions, as ever sock choice are a very important part of the too hot too cold equation- any boot made of leather with a GX liner will prove warm in hot conditions and it’s only the mesh construction non-waterproof liner boots that tend to deal well in very hot weather 🤔 I have around eight pairs of boots for different seasons and different locations, one piece of footwear for all of your outdoor activities and all of the seasons in the northern hemisphere will always result in a compromise 😉 my advice would be to buy the footwear that most suits your general walking times, and as a final thought, in very hot weather, You can tend to get away with just trainers or other lightweight cheaper footwear, but in winter, you need to correct footwear for the environment ☀️🌦️🍂🌀
@@WildcraftBritain I truly appreciate your time spent giving your insight on this matter. I’ll be choosing wisely accordingly. Thank you.
Hi . Did you say the newer ones have a bit of a wider foot. Because I’ve got a pair and they seem very narrow especially going from mid to toe section . Can’t wear them unfortunately.
Yes, I’m the 2018 and beyond edition they increased the toe box are width and volume 👍🏻 did you get your feet measured before trying? What size are you and what size are the boots? I fit a lot of boots and sometimes people have very wide feet 🦶 always try on before you buy and get advice if you can 😉 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🌳🌀
@@WildcraftBritain Hi Andy . I’m size 8 feet . Got them last year but in truth never really wore them until 3 or 4 months ago . I’ll take them back just to see what they say . Wore them a couple of times but they were killing my feet right at the start of my little toe. . Both sides . In truth they look quite narrow . Thought maybe it was just a case of breaking in but I don’t think so . I’ll take them back and put them up against another pair in store and tell them . Someone also says scarpa are more suited for narrow feet but I don’t know . I only heard that from a random hiker when I was talking to him . Thx mate
@@stevie2686 no worries 😉 would seriously suggest getting your feet measured and looked at- I suspect you have a wide foot 🦶 it’s an urban myth about Scarpa and narrow- it comes from over 40 years ago when Scarpa just made a small range for Italy 🇮🇹 which were narrow ☺️ the modern Scarpas are made in conjunction with the Mountain Boot company, (the importer), and they have made lasts to suit our feet, which tend to be wide and big volume (I see a lot of feet so my experience it’s true, with exceptions 🤔) There are wider boots 🥾 Keen do some very wide boots, as do Gri-Sport, both good makes 👍🏻 did you try the 43 on as well?
@@WildcraftBritain Hi Andy . No I didn’t try the 43 . They seemed ok when I put them on in store but it was my fault . I maybe shouldn’t have rushed in . Lesson learned . Hope fully they might replace but I doubt. Can only ask though . Appreciated for the information though Andy and as said I will go back .I was looking at keen ones online today while you mention that .. I think go outdoors close to me has them in stock so I’ll go look . Thx again for the info Andy . Cheers
Скажите пожалуйста, какие самые низкие температуры они комфортно выдерживают?
They are not a cold weather boot 🥾 it’s always a difficult one to answer as the temps in the U.K. are generally high- around freezing at a guess, but much would depend on you socks 🧦😊 enjoy your outdoors time, Andy ⛰🏕🌀
@@WildcraftBritain спасибо
Will this boot fit narrow, low volume feet?
It’s not designed for that foot shape- however, nothing in the U.K. Scarpa range is really 🤔 however, my wife has narrow low volume feet and owns a pair, (as seen in the video). She uses a Sidas insole, (which reduces the volume), and tightens the laces close together and gets on with them well 👍🏻 Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🌞🏕🌀
No, they have a fit like a welly! I have two pairs of Asolo Powermatic 200 Evo GV's, purchased from Trailblazer who stock the 1/2 sizes(!). A narrow, low volume fit and and really stiff midsole with a slight 'active' , rather than 'dead' flex. Check them out, a much more serious boot but still fine for easier walking.
The scarpa trek low volume boot is good for slim, low volume feet.
It scarp's narrowest last
Can they be resoled?
Hi Finbarr- no, unlike say, the Scarpa Ranger, these can’t be resoled 👍🏻 it’s all about how the boot is bonded to the sole unit 🤔 however, these are lighter boots and tend not to have the upper durability of heavier weight boots, so when the sole is gone the upper probably won’t be to far behind ☺️ Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy 🏕️🌞⛰️🌀
nice video bro, open to collab?//
perhaps in the future ☺️ I am super busy at present and struggling to get my own projects off the ground 😅
