Just about the most stylish hiking boot weve seen, the Triolet by Scarpa doesnt skimp on the support features. Gore-Tex linings keep you dry, Pro-Fiber insoles deliver long-wear comfort, and an EVA midsole and Vibram outsole combine for rugged durability ? and did we mention comfort? These babies are semi-automatic crampon compatible, so find some mountains to climb.

Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA, a muti-generational, family-owned business whose headquarters and manufacturing facilities are in the same region of northern Italy where it was founded in 1938. SCARPA builds performance footwear for climbing, hiking, skiing, mountaineering, trail-running and other outdoor pursuits. Aside from being the Italian word for "shoe," SCARPA is an acronym for Societa Calzaturiera Asolana Riunita Pedemontana Anonima (Associated Shoe Manufacturing Company of the Asolo Mountain Area).
