For everyday walking and technical trails, it can be difficult to find the right footwear. Boots may not offer the flexibility you need, and some walking shoes can lack boot-like toughness and durability.

SCARPA has this conundrum covered with the SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe. At BCH Camping, we only stocks products from brands we trust. SCARPA is one such brand that always delivers on quality and customer experience.

SCARPA has been making shoes since 1938. The company advocates understanding what people are looking for in a shoe before embarking on a new design: ‘This is a company that knows how to listen to the needs of any athlete, any aficionado or even the beginner who is just starting to explore a new passion.’

The SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe fills the gap for those who want a sturdy, durable shoe that is flexible and responsive enough to offer exceptional comfort for everyday walks and technical trails.

The SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe from BCH Camping

The SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe is a supportive walking shoe with a suede and fabric upper, GORE-TEX® lining and Vibram Dynatech sole. The Vortex XCR offers the durability of a boot with the all-day comfort of a favourite shoe. This is a walking shoe that is handmade, so quality is guaranteed.

What is GORE-TEX® XCR?

·        GORE-TEX® is a 100% waterproof, windproof and highly breathable fabric membrane. It keeps your feet dry and comfortable by preventing water from entering the shoe while, at the same time, allowing sweat to escape.

·        GORE-TEX® XCR refers to the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort Range which is for more rugged footwear that offers enhanced durability and protection against abrasion and impact. ‘Extended’ refers to its suitability in a wider range of temperatures, making it a 3-season (spring, summer and autumn) boot.

What is a Vibram Dynatech sole?

A Vibram Dynatech sole is a high-traction outsole that provides exceptional resistance, traction and grip on loose, wet and rocky surfaces which is ideal for technical trails. It is highly durable, with deep lugs that provide the enhanced grip on soft or muddy ground.

The bonded construction of the sole enhances the shoe’s long-term, boot-like durability.

How is the SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe so flexible?

The flexibility of the SCARPA Vortex XCR shoe comes from the construction of the suede and fabric upper, which also maintains comfort levels throughout long walks and trails. It is this flexibility and comfort that makes the Vortex XCR ideal for everyday walking and technical trails.

Caring for your SCARPA Vortex XCR men’s shoe

To keep your SCARPA Vortex XCR shoes in tiptop condition, we’d strongly recommend you regularly apply Nikwax Nubuck & Suede proofing spray. This enhances the outer fabric’s water repellence and prolongs its life and performance. This is a water-based spray that is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, non-flammable and non-hazardous.
