    Perfect!

    I just got this shoe for approaches and to use on a new Via Ferrata in town. They are super comfy and grippy. I was amazed how good they were on the Via Ferrata when I was having to smear or stand on small holds on the wall. I spent 6 hours in these hiking and climbing the first day and my feet were stoked!

    The Best New SCARPA Approach Shoe!

    I absolutely love the original Rapids as a hybrid approach/trail running shoe, but the new XT's are definitely a step up in the traditional approach shoe category, far better than the Crux or the Gecko in my opinion. It has a wider toe box, great shape, feels very supportive, hikes and climbs really well, and is much lighter than it looks. Since they have a leather upper, my only suggestion would be to go a half size down, as mine seem to have stretched a bit! Other than that they're perfect.

    All the support I need

    Hands down the best support. Scarpa shoes provide the support I need around my

    ankles to avoid injuries from rolling them on unleveled ground. I now own two different Scarpa shoes. Simply a great functional product.

    not quite the replacement

    I've owned at least 5 pairs of the Zen model which was apparently replaced by the rapid xt. It was the best hiking /walking shoe I've owned.

    The Rapid XT is lighter, and built on the same last which are positives. The shoe doesn't feel the same as its predecessor but feels secure, just not as rugged feeling--like you could wear it in difficult terrain..

    Lastly the toe swirl (a la New Balance circa 1980's) is not a great cosmetic addition. Looks kind of silly.

    Great shoes, extremely supportive of my feet. These are the real McCoy.
