trail RUNNING tech, at a glance
SCARPA's 2023 Trail Running Line draws from over 80 years of outdoor footwear heritage, coupled with innovative partner technologies to create unequaled quality, performance and fit.
EXO CONSTRUCTION
Highly breathable upper mesh is backed by our EXO internal support matrix, inspired by structural elements of the Golden Gate bridge. Welded PU reinforcements on the upper add additional structure, support and abrasion resistance.
SOCKFIT LW
Sock-fit LW, or “Light Wrap” construction, is the most minimal version of Sock-fit that SCARPA offers. Most of our Trail Running models incorporate this innovative construction. The Sock-fit LW system uses a stretch material combined with a minimal, stretch tongue that wraps both sides and the top of the instep, eliminating the tradition gusset construction, providing gentle pressure and support to both reduce bulk and enhance the fit of the shoe.
VIBRAM
VIBRAM is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, always produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, provide the maximum level of comfort and to maintain quality over time. Megagrip rubber is a rubber compound developed by Vibram to increase friction on wet and dry surfaces while maintaining a high level of durability.
PRESA
PRESA outsoles, conceived, designed, and developed by SCARPA are the result of 80+ years of expertise in crafting mountain footwear. Each outsole is carefully engineered to deliver the exact performance specifications required for that model, always providing a good blend of traction and durability. When you demand high performance from your outdoor footwear, demand Presa.
GORE-TEX® INVISIBLE FIT TECHNOLOGY
The latest waterproof-breathable technology from GORE-TEX®, Invisible Fit features a direct-lamination construction method, where the membrane is laminated directly to the back of the shoes's upper. The offers significant advantages. First, this construction is lighter weight (up to 18% lighter) and more flexible than standard booty construction. Second, having the waterproof membrane closer to the outside surface reduces water absorption into the upper materials, keeping moisture weight uptake lower and breathability higher. And finally, this allows for a standard lining construction, improving the internal comfort, flexibility and overall fit of the product.
BOA® WRAP 360
The patent-ending, Wrap360 lacing system is powered by the BOA® Li2 dial, and TX4 textile lace with Dyneema. The lacing system closes over the instep like a traditional system, but then also wraps behind the heel resulting in a great mid foot wrap AND heel pocket hold. The TX4 lace is much softer than steel cable, and contains Dyneema for lightweight strength. The Li2 dial features micrometrical adjustment both clockwise and counter clockwise, making it easy to fine tune the fit, even with gloves on.
POLARTEC® WINDBLOC®
Polartec® Windbloc® provides maximum weather protection from wind, water, and cold conditions. It features a unique stretch polyurethane membrane sandwiched between the outer face fabric and inner lining fabric, creating a combination that holds strong against the harshest elements, while still allowing moisture vapor to permeate outside. Windbloc’s membrane blocks outside moisture and airflow at the microscopic level to guarantee weather protection. This durable membrane is capable of resilient stretch for greater range of motion during activity, even in inclement conditions.
RUNNING MIDSOLE TERMINOLOGY
Drop (Midsole Drop)
-
"Drop" is the reference between midsole heel thickness and the midsole forefoot thickness.
-
Midsole heel thickness - Midsole forefoot thickness = Drop
-
Reference image above - Example: 21-11=10
Stack Height (Stack)
-
"Stack" height is the total thickness of the midsole and outsole combined
-
Outsole thickness is lug depth + base thickness
-
Reference image above - Stack height at heel: 21+1.5+4.5=27mm
-
Reference image above - Stack height at forefoot: 11+1.5+4.5= 17mm
A lower stack height means the shoe will be closer to the trail with more precision and sensitivity, but less cushioning and protection. A higher stack height means the shoe will provide more cushioning and protection from impact and rugged terrain, but will be less sensitive and precise.
