The awesome Scarpa Rush GTX hiking shoe has been updated with a more comfortable and durable upper, plus a smaller footprint on the planet.
The Scarpa Rush 2 Pro GTX hiking shoe comes in both low and mid cut styles and now features a Nubuck leather upper in place of the old suede material. Whereas suede is made using the inner layer or underside of the skin, giving it its soft feel and appearance, Nubuck leather is made using the outer layer, also called the top grain. Since the top grain is more likely to have visible imperfections, it is sanded to make nubuck leather, which buffs away those visible marks and gives it a more velvety texture.
