If there was one shoe in the SCARPA lineup that should be nicknamed the quiver killer, it would be the Men's Rapid Mid GTX shoe. Blurring the lines between a hiking shoe, an approach shoe, and a trail runner, the Rapid eats up any terrain that you throw its way. The sock-fit construction provides a seamless fit, working with a trail-running-inspired profile to help you move fast on well-worn trails. Once you head off the beaten path, the sticky Vibram outsole will give you the grip you need to scramble through talus fields and tackle easy slabs. Waterproof and breathable, thanks to the GORE-TEX lining, and with a mid-cuff height, this shoe is also capable of long-distance hikes, both protecting your ankles and keeping your feet bone dry no matter what the trail brings. With an Ortholite footbed that's as comfortable as it is eco-friendly, the Rapid Mid GTX will help you get out and put some miles under your feet.

    Ultimate approach shoe for a climbing day

    I’ve taken the Scarpa Rapid Mid GTX on a few big mountain days, and they’ve handled everything—wet trails, rocky scrambles, even some light snow. The grip is solid, and my feet stay dry without overheating. They’re light enough for long approaches but still give my ankles the support I need with a full pack. Honestly, I don’t think twice about wearing them.

    Surprisingly comfortable

    Don’t get me wrong, I love scarpa shoes. These exceeded my expectations for comfort. I’m typically a 46 but I’ve found gtx shoes run a bit snug so I went 47, perfect fit.

    Mid GTX

    I like them. Great approach boot, securing the ankles and easy to break in. It is easy to attach a OR gaiter to the boots.

    Perfect.

    New Mid approach

    Second time around for a larger size. These are perfect. Can't wait until the first snow.

    Thank you Scarpa. True to size.

    Just a Little Breaking in

    I’ve never worn approach shoes before, but I bought these as I am planning a hike with some steep class 3+ scrambling on a 10 mile hike. I wanted grippy all terrain shoes with ankle support, and the Rapid Mid GTX fits the bill. They did require a short break-in hike or two, but they fit well, are comfortable, and lightweight. My feet have stayed dry in mud and water. They differ from full on hiking shoes as they have no padding on the tongue or around the foot but that’s the way they are designed to get a good snug fit.
