A good pair of walking boots is essential for every adventurer, and the Scarpa women's SL Activ walking boots are a high-quality, reliable pair for all your adventures. They can also be used with C1 walking crampons, increasing their year-round versatility. Specifically built around the women’s TML last shape, the SL has an improved heel fit and a softer nubuck leather cuff with a cut-out at the Achilles for comfortable long descents in the mountains. The new speed lacing system provides a sure hold across the instep, and the leather lining inside the boot is instantly luxurious and comfortable. The SL is built using a 2.8mm Sherpa leather (the toughest and most water-resistant of any full-grain leather Scarpa uses) impregnated with HS12 and constructed as a one-piece unit for durable weather protection. The SL also uses the Vibram Biometric trek sole for traction and support when carrying a large pack. The leather and 37.5 lining (and lack of membrane) make this a brilliant boot for warm-weather trekking as well.
