The Scarpa Mescalito GTX is designed for technical hikes into remote objectives, and features a rugged, reinforced construction and innovative Vibram LiteBase Technology high-friction outsole for the ultimate combination durability and lightweight performance. This GTX version makes for increased comfort when the terrain becomes significantly wetter and boggier.
The Mescalitio GTX is built around the Vibram Dynamis sole unit using Lite Base technology, which significantly reduces the weight of the shoe. This is combined with a bi-density EVA midsole which gives great cushioning, especially compared to more traditional approach shoes. The outsole is Vibram Megagrip for maximum grip and traction on smooth surfaces.
The upper of the Mescalito is constructed from a thermo-embossed suede, with a GORE-TEX (Extended Comfort Footwear) waterproof and breathable membrane, which gives a very individual fit without stretch and protection against the elements. A new lightweight, lateral PU rand shields the shoe from scuffs and scrapes, and a rubber toe cap offers grip as well as protection. The lace to toe design combined with the stretch fit tongue ensure the best possible foot hold.

Mega comfortable.
Quite possibly the most comfortable trainer I have ever put on and walked in. Fits like a glove with hiking socks on. Insanely good feel. Feels like true to size with just the right amount of space on the front for toes not getting too rubbed up once going downhill. I haven’t worn them going uphill/downhill, but from the walking I have in them on flat terrain for 15+ miles, they haven’t even caused me blisters anywhere, hence why I’m writing a very positive review. So it seems they barely need wearing in. Good grip on the outer sole, and not too soft or hard to walk on either. They’ll probably get quite sweaty on a day hike in the Alps or in Snowdonia being Gore-Tex I would imagine, but that’s a given in Summer season.
Overall, very happy customer here.
Great shoes, I am a 7.5 uk size but found the 42 too big (length)so elected to return and exchange for the 41. R&R were super helpful and on point for support , returns process was simple and had a replacement set of shoes within the week. Shoes are super comfy although if you are intending to wear these with big thick walking socks only I would suggest a 42 , Note: as the internal tongue comes down quite forward towards the roes the cushioning sensation can take a little to get accustomed to.

Very comfy out of the box. Great product.
Really well made and look great, feel more like a boot than an approach shoe. Changing from CRUX to these might take a bit of getting used to, but can’t fault the quality despite the high price
Perfect fit and comfortable straight out of the box. Required no 'walking in' whatsoever. Grip wise, i've never had a pair of shoes that grip like these, wet or dry. Very, very pleased.
