Protection around the upper, cushioning underfoot
Water-repellent suede is complemented by a protective rand and rubber toe cap. The tongue and collar use stretch textile. Lacing that extends towards the toes lets you adjust the hold around the forefoot.
The Dynamis LB sole uses Vibram Litebase technology and Megagrip rubber. The midsole combines dual-density EVA with an ergonomically shaped TPU anti-torsion insert. This construction combines cushioning with support against twisting.
Is the Mescalito GTX right for your route?
Consider this model if you want a low-cut approach shoe for rocky trails and via ferrata routes, with a waterproof membrane. Choose the type of footwear to suit the terrain, your pack and your experience.
Try the shoes with your intended hiking socks. Check the hold around your heel and make sure your toes have enough room when walking downhill. Scarpa specifies a medium last; trying the shoes on will show whether they suit your feet.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mescalito GTX waterproof?
Yes. Scarpa specifies a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane for this version.
How do I choose the right size?
Compare sizes with the socks you plan to wear. Your heel should remain secure while your toes have enough room, including when walking downhill. A fixed size increase does not suit every foot.
Can the Mescalito GTX be resoled?
Yes. Scarpa identifies this model as resoleable. Have its condition assessed before excessive wear develops; whether a repair is possible depends on the condition of the whole shoe.
