Few brands can boast the reputation that Italian footwear giant Scarpa enjoys. This is particularly true of its mountaineering and climbing footwear, where it vies with fellow Italians La Sportiva in the upper echelons of its field (or mountain peak, as it were). However, the rise in popularity of trail running over the last couple of decades has seen Scarpa eying up the success of mountain running brands like Salomon.
In 2020, Scarpa turned to legendary skyrunner Marco de Gasperi to inject his expertise into their burgeoning running range as head of development. Success followed with the original, award-winning Ribelle Run, a lightweight performance trail shoe with Salomon style quick lacing.
