The Scarpa Trek HV GTX is a classic leather trekking boot built around a High Volume last to give a little more space and comfort.
The Trek HV GTX shares its DNA with the original Scarpa Trek but fits differently with a little more depth across the top of the foot and space around the toes. This comfort fit design is ideal for walkers that have broad feet, suffer from bunions, or just like to wear thick cosy socks.
The full grain waxed leather upper also has a Gore-Tex Performance lining for water protection and peace of mind. The Vibram Biometric Trek sole is highly durable and offers high levels of traction, both up and down hill thanks to a deep lug design and pronounced heel step.

- Mountain Walk: 4 out of 5
- Paths and Trails: 3 out of 5
