User Review: Scarpa Fitzroy

Reviewed October 3, 1998 by Matt

Rating:
Materials: leather
Use: heavy pack/light mtneerin
Break-in Period: one year and still going
Weight: 5 ish lbs
Price Paid: $250

I think these are now discontinued, but in Missoula (former home) I found them and haven't seen them anywhere else. Pretty heavy boot, very hard on my heels for the first 6 months (almost killed my right ankle on numerous occasions). After one year they seem pretty broken in but carrying a heavy pack and steep terrain will evoke hot spots and blistering, still.

I have to say I love these boots to death. I think they will last forever as long as I resole appropriately. I have finally broke the stiff sole down enough to where I can climb steep mts. comfortably.

I have just bought Black Diamond Switchblade crampons and I hope these boots work well with the step-in bindings.

If you can find these boots anywhere (maybe Missoula), I recommend them highly.
