Scarpa Kailash Trek GTX Women EU 38 / Titanium/Smoke/Lagoon

Similarly, these boots felt good at home. I first tested them on a short overnight backpack trip (about 10kms each way) and noted-to-self that the boot soles were a bit hard. Then, I took them on another longer backpacking trip, and the soles of my feet ached in ways I'd never experienced. I had another trip planned right away, so in preparation I bought two pairs of cushy insoles to try to mitigate the aching. This helped, but by the end of 5 days I was concerned I was doing some kind of nerve damage, my feet ached so badly. A shame, as they are nice light boots and I had no issues with blisters. I may have to save them for steep day-hikes and find something else for backpacking.

I have several Scarpa boots. I use these ones for longer walks and more rough terrain/rocky trails. No rubbing or blisters. Very comfortableand supportive.

I bought these boots 5 years ago and they're still holding up to working in the woods. I've gone through a lot of hiking boots constantly taking them off the beaten path, through rivers and rocky terrane. NO BLISTERS! Light weight boots, well insulated, but not too hot in the summer (being that they're sealed). There was no "breaking them in", they fit perfect from day one and still going strong five years later. They've only just started getting torn up a bit, whereas most hiking boots are lucky to last two seasons with me. Highly recommended boots from someone who lives in hiking boots half the year!
