User Review: Scarpa Mustang GTX
|
Rating: 
Materials: suede with fabric accents
Use: Go-to 3 season mid/light boot for up to midweight loads
Break-in Period: nil
Weight: about 3 lbs.
Price Paid: $169
I bought these to replace a pair of REI Monarch GTX boots (old style, full leather, made by Merell - the new ones didn't impress me). They fit my medium width, medium to low volume foot well, and seem to accommodate a decent array of socks - thick, medium w/liner and medium alone.
Break-in time is nil. Since August '07, I have worn these boots hiking, backpacking, hunting and snowshoeing in Wyoming, the UP and Wisconsin, respectively. They have performed well in all situations so far. The sole is as stiff as I've seen in a light/mid boot and should hold up to a bigger load than the weekend-sized pack I've used them with. Although waterproof, treatment is a must as the suede seems to suck up water.
Nitpicks: After one of the first hikes I wore these on, a corner of one of the lugs came off. After many more miles, it is still the only one, so that seems to be an isolated incident. Suede is a magnet for dirt and mud, making them hard to keep clean. They are a little "sporty" visually for my taste--I'd prefer solid brown or black.
