FAQs

How do I clean my SCARPA Rush 2 GTX shoes?

Brush off dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They offer good performance in colder weather, but consider thicker socks for additional warmth and traction aids in icy conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Use hiking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool for moisture-wicking and comfort.

How long will the waterproofness last?

With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and DWR reapplication, the GORE-TEX membrane should maintain waterproofness for a long time.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While the Rush 2 GTX is designed for fast hiking, it's not primarily a running shoe. They can be used for light trail running, but are best for hiking.

What is the lifespan of the outsole?

The lifespan of the outsole depends on usage, terrain, and wear. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Check the lacing, ensuring it is not too tight. Consider using thinner socks or adjusting the size if necessary.

Water is entering the shoe.

Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and that water is not entering over the top. Check for damage to the GORE-TEX membrane and consider reapplying DWR treatment.

Outsole grip feels reduced.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud and debris. Check for excessive wear and tear, and replace the shoes if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
