Rapid GORE-TEX Women’s Walking Shoes – SS23

Scarpa Rapid GORE-TEX Women’s Walking Shoes

Rapid is the approach shoe designed for moving fast on mountain terrain. Ideal for technical trails, when approaching the climbing wall, easy to attach to the harness and performing well on steep and fast descents.

Breathable Mesh Upper

The Scarpa Rapid Walking Shoe has been built using a technical mesh upper, with external TPU cage heat-sealed side support film, for extreme breathability and durability. Micro perforations in the mesh allow heat and vapour to escape, as well as any moisture built up from within the shoe. These pores transport it all to the outside of the shoe where it can dissipate, and dry quickly, keeping your feet feeling cool, dry and fresh. These perforations also work to allow cool, fresh air into the shoe, where it can then circulate. This airflow helps your feet to breathe and avoids uncomfortable sweaty sensations. A GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear membrane resides within the lining of the upper promoting breathability and giving the shoes a waterproof quality. The membrane repels water and wet weather conditions, keeping your little ones’ feet dry for fewer restrictions on adventures. The sock-like fit of this upper grips the foot firmly but gently for a comfortable feel that puts you totally in control. The precise fit of the internal Sock-Fit LW construction system avoids compression points whilst wrapping the foot to ensure greater lateral stability. An external TPU cage provides protection against abrasion for long-lasting wear that won’t let you down. Anti-pressure and anti-impact mesh on the collar and tongue ensure durability and protection in sensitive areas.

EVA Midsole

An EVA midsole provides shock absorption, protecting joints and muscles from strain and stress, and that damage they can cause. By cushioning against this shock, the risk of injury is reduced so you can go further than before in complete comfort. EVA also works to provide springy rebounds, compressing under each step and springing back into shape, utilising the energy from your last step to power you into your next one.

Vibram Megagrip Outsole

Completing the Scarpa Rapid Walking Shoe is a Vibram Megagrip outsole. The high-performance rubber compound offers unparalleled sticky grip and optimal ground adaptability, allowing you to tackle tricky terrain with ease whether the surface is wet or dry. The durable rubber offers rugged longevity providing unprecedented grip hike after hike, and trail after trail. Deep, multi-directional lugs offer supreme grip on a variety of technical terrain keeping you stable and confident when navigating steep ascents and descents, or uneven ground. Ideal for long hikes or that extra bit of cushioning when out on the trail, the Scarpa Rapid offers exceptional cushioning and stability no matter where your adventure takes you. Finishing up the outsole of the walking shoe is a climbing zone.
