   Scarpa Charmoz GTX Boots Reviews

General comments: If you want to relive the heyday of glam rock, check out the Scarpa Charmoz boots. A seventies-tastic flash of electric blue and sonic silver left me feeling all Ziggy Stardust as I set off towards the Cuillin Ridge. On the walk-in, their thin soles and light weight made me feel much more sensitive to the rocks underfoot. So I found myself thinking harder about foot placement and wasting less energy. Then, once on rock, the flat climbing zone at the front of the sole cam into its own. The Cioch Slab is a Diff, and these boots cruised through the route. Until recently, I've done all my scrambling in 3 season boots, switching to climbing boots on tougher pitches. With boots like the Scarpa Charmoz GTX, you can breeze through Alpine routes, via ferratas, scrambles and on to entry-level climbs.

Pros: Good feel. Very light. Versatile.

Cons: None.

General comments: Bought a pair after my 10 year old La Sportiva Makalu's finally gave up the ghost. These Charmoz are a different league for 2 main reasons: weight and support. I've just come back from a weekend in Snowdonia which included the Snowdon Horseshoe and the High Crynedds, and they were a joy to wear out the box. During the corssing of Crib Goch they inspired confidence (always a good thing!) and gave great confidence on some some scrambles of reasonable exposure. My socks even survived a trip through a bog due to their goretex lining. All in all these boots are far more capable than I am and i can't recommend them enough.

Pros: Weight Fit Support

Cons: None

General comments: Wonderful alpine boot. Needed no breaking in.

Pros: Comfort. Weight. Support. Good on Alpine ground, Scottish winter climbs, Summer climbing on Skye etc.

Cons: Wearing thin on the sole after 7months use. Material on sides getting scuffed. Smell a bit (or is it just my feet??)
