Scarpa Ribelle Cross 2 GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's Black/Olive, 42.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Ribelle Cross 2 GTX out on a mixed day—started on trail, ended up scrambling across some loose rock and wet roots on the way back. The SuperGum outsole held up better than I expected on the slick sections, and the GORE-TEX ePE membrane kept things dry without my feet feeling like they were in a plastic bag. These are a solid pick if you move faster than your average day hiker and want something that keeps up.""When the trail flattens out and we finally find our rhythm, there's nothing better than a shoe that disappears beneath us. The Scarpa Ribelle Cross 2 GTX was built for exactly that feeling—a low-profile, trail-running-inspired design that keeps us light on our feet without stripping away the protection we need when the terrain gets honest. The GORE-TEX ePE membrane handles wet weather and muddy crossings without the breathability penalty that used to come with waterproof footwear, and the PRESA HIK-06 and SuperGum outsole combination gives us confident traction on dirt, rock, and the unpredictable mix in between. The DST torsion frame keeps our rear foot stable on uneven ground, so we can maintain pace instead of managing every step. For hikers who like to move fast and stay connected to what's underfoot, the Ribelle Cross 2 GTX is the shoe that gets out of the way and lets us go."
