The F1 LT from Scarpa inherits the climbing DNA of the Alien RS: very lightweight (990 grams per shoe), incredible shaft rotation (72 degrees), and a sporty fit (100 millimeter last).
With the F1 LT, Scarpa has managed to elevate the downhill performance of a lightweight shoe to the next level. This is made possible by the 3D-Lambda frame – a kind of skeleton on the shell and the cuff – and the Carbon Grilamid LFT material.
Both features enhance flex and torsional stiffness while reducing shell thickness, achieving greater strength and lower weight. The progressive flex is likely unique in this weight class and ensures precise ski control.
The Gaiter Shell construction omits a fixed tongue and instead is equipped with the waterproof Lite Shield Tech fabric, effectively preventing snow ingress. At the same time, the Boa Fit System over the foot, a single Fast Buckle Closure strap at the leg, and the Velcro Power Strap above provide excellent support and guarantee even pressure distribution – without pressure points. All three can be quickly, individually, and precisely adjusted.
The Speed Lock LT ski-walk mechanism allows for the adjustment of three different forward lean positions – efficiently and quickly. This makes the transition between ascent and descent a breeze.
The Intuition Tour LT liner ensures a precise yet comfortable fit. The liner is thermoformable, meaning it can be customized. Even with prolonged use, the feet remain warm and free of pressure points.
At the bottom of the F1 Lite, the Vibram UFO LT sole offers maximum grip and sensitivity on rock while featuring large, self-cleaning grooves. The right shoe for demanding uphill and downhill conditions.

There is nothing to complain about in the handling of the Scarpa F1 LT. It is easy to put on and take off, the inner shoe can be easily removed and put back in. The shoe has good traction, the ultra-short sole length is comfortable when walking. And thanks to the quite thick foam (and very firm compared to other models) inner shoe, there is still plenty of room for any adjustments.
