User Review: Scarpa ZG 65 XCR

Scarpa ZG 65 XCR
Above: The current ZG 65 XCR, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Use: day hikes, backpacks, peaks and scrambling
Break-in Period: none
Price Paid: $139

These are the best boots I've ever had, hands down. They fit my narrow, low volume foot well. They are extremely well constructed. Mine have yet to show any significant wear or deterioration after hundreds of miles.

I do quite a bit of Sierra backpacking, on and off trail, as well as occasional peaks and day hiking. The soles have great traction, and the stiffness is just right for talus walking. The rubber toe guard is great for jamming in cracks, and the overall feel is nimble enough that I've felt comfortable on class 3 and 4 climbs.
