Light approach shoe for fast ascents and descents and trail kilometers. Made from synthetic upper material supported by a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane.
The Rapid GTX from Scarpa is all about lightness and speed on mountain trails and approaches. The synthetic upper material is covered with a film of thermoplastic polyurethane and is waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX® membrane, without sacrificing breathability. The midsole provides the right amount of damping on the trail and the TPU activity provides stability and torsion control to make the Rapid GTX a good approach shoe, with the climbing zone of the Vibram sole also contributing to this.
