The Rapid XT GTX Men by Scarpa is a waterproof approach shoe, ideal for technical approaches and easy climbing sections. Thanks to its heel lift, it performs excellently downhill on scree. The surrounding TPU rand along with the rubber toe cap protects the foot and shoe from impacts and sharp edges. The upper material is a robust, durable suede leather. The overall construction offers a good balance between protection, comfort, and low weight. The Agility XT features a Vibram MegaGrip sole with a climbing zone in the toe area. A 3D TPU insert in the medial area, specifically in the arch, provides stability and high grip on traverses. The 3.5 mm deep profile combines sensitivity and durability for all types of approaches. Additionally, the Rapid XT GTX is equipped with a PFAS-free Gore-Tex ePE membrane, making it part of the new generation of waterproof and breathable gear.
