User Review: Scarpa Super Manta M4

Reviewed July 27, 2005 by an anonymous hiker

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars

If you like to go on a few mountain hikes a year, it's a great boot, I'd give 'em the old five star rating. Fantastic stickiness on the lovely AK granite. Beautiful leather with pretty good water resistance (Nikwax paste is critical).

However, if you seriously use yer boots, prepare for the crappy soles to delaminate...frighteningly fast (8 months). Get 'em resoled with an older M3 sole. These are quite a bit tougher. In addition, the lace loops in the ankle WILL rip out. Oh yeah, one more thing. Carry the old speedy stitcher as the stitched on the heel will start to pop after a while.

In short SCARPA should have never stopped making the Bergell...they lasted 8 years and I miss them.
