Scarpa Mescalito TRK Pro GTX: first impressions
Scarpa is one of the most reputable brands in the hiking boot space. Hailing from Italy, it's long built some of the top lines out there, ranging from super high-quality high-altitude mountaineering shoes to climbing footwear and approach shoes. One of its most popular lines is the Mescalito TRK GTX – a hiking boot that adds the comfort and flexibility of an approach shoe to the protection and durability of a hiking boot. But is it possible to take it one step further? That's what the Scarpa Mescalito TRK Pro GTX (available direct from Scarpa) is here to do: to deliver the same sterling performance as its predecessor while adding even more versatility, thanks to a plush nubuck leather upper and a B1 rating (meaning these are crampon compatible for winter adventures above the treeline). In that sense, then, Scarpa is pushing the new Mescalito TRK Pro GTX as the ultimate all-rounder; the boot that can do it all. But how accurate is that in reality?
