Scarpa added articulated cuffs to increase flexibility while still giving you the support you expect from leather boots.

I've worn Scarpas for decades and this is my favourite boot. No *tex membrane to hold in sweat, a good fit, good leather (but see below) and a fantastic, confidence-inspiring vibram sole."

In the old days '80s and '90s, good hand made Italian boots where not that hard to find. Raichle, Vasque, Lowa, Zamberlan, La Sportiva, and Scarpa all had boot models made in Italy, at least some of their models."

I have had endless difficulty fitting other boots, and these Scarpas (the wide model, length 49cm) fit* my size 14EEEE flippers better than any of the many models I have tried and discarded over a number of years."

I was unsure of purchasing a boot over the internet in part due to the old adage of "try it before you buy it. " Unfortunately I live in an area where the only 'hiking boots' available are Wal-Mart brand (shudder).
So after months (literally) of web shopping, I narrowed down my choice to the Asolo TPS and the Scarpa SL M3."

Pros:
- it is the zenith of function and fashion, if you will, combined in a sturdy and supportive Italian made package.
- 2. 9 mm sherpa leather is tough as anything else and it keeps the boots waterproof for ages
- amazing designe and engineering that gives you maximum protection and comfort."
