More about Outdoor Footwear
Walking boots are possibly the most essential and personal piece of outdoor kit you can buy, but once you've found that perfect pair you'll want to keep them in tip-top shape.
So often walking boots get slung in a cupboard caked in mud and forgotten about until the next trek. This does reduce their lifespan, and can cause uppers to rot or crack, soles to fall off and general unpleasant odours to form. (Faults caused by neglect are usually not covered by a manufacturer's warranty, which will stipulate that you need to show some respect for the product.)
Thankfully cleaning and re-waterproofing your walking boots is both quick and easy with the right know-how! (To clean approach or walking shoes simply replace the word 'boots' with 'shoes' throughout).
Post-Walk Care
So you've come back from your travels and your boots are caked in mud and other questionable brown substances (often containing bacteria which just love to use your boots as a breeding ground and secrete leather damaging substances)...tempted just to sling them in the airing cupboard and be done? Hold your horses!

All quality walking boots and outdoor shoes are built around a carefully crafted foot shaped model - known as a "last". It is the last which gives a boot its fit characteristics.
The quality of the lasting, and the time that each upper spends on the last, is crucial in giving Scarpa boots their renowned shape and fit. Scarpa develop a last to specifically suit the end use of each boot. As a result, when you step into a SCARPA boot, you can be sure it has been carefully designed to suit you and your activity.
Additionally, Scarpa were the first company to develop a purpose made last for women's boots. Today every ladies' specific model has a dedicated female last. These lasts are slimmer in the mid foot and heel areas.
