When is a walking boot not a boot?

When it is a shoe.

Sort of!

Do you ever find yourself wishing for hybrid footwear with the comfort and flexibility of a walking shoe and the ankle protection of a walking boot? We often speak to customers in our stores who are looking for a solution to this conundrum. It’s a more common frustration than you might think.

Forward-thinking footwear brands are responding to customer demand by actively developing hybrid footwear products that combine the best features of boots and shoes. In product development circles, this type of footwear is often called a lightweight walking boot or mid-weight hiking shoe. At BCH Camping we call it the SCARPA Cyrus 2 walking boot!

The SCARPA Cyrus 2 MID GTX walking boot

The SCARPA Cyrus 2 MID GTX walking boot is available from BCH Camping in both men’s and women’s sizes. Technically a boot, the SCARPA Cyrus 2 is hugely popular with our customers.

Let’s find out why.

Features of the SCARPA Cyrus 2 MID GTX walking boot

Enhanced ankle support and protection

The SCARPA Cyrus 2 boot offers the relaxed, comfortable fit of the SCARPA shoe, but with added ankle support. The upgraded ergonomic padding of this latest Cyrus edition provides enhanced soft-touch comfort in critical zones around the ankle and in the tongue.

Advanced GORE-TEX ePE membrane

The SCARPA Cyrus 2 now also features a GORE-TEX ePE (expanded polyethylene) membrane, made from a new, sustainable material free of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). These are synthetic ‘forever chemicals’ that harm the environment.

The GORE-TEX membrane provides durable waterproof and windproof protection while facilitating the escape of sweat so that your feet remain dry and comfortable throughout your hike.

Nubuck uppers

Luxurious, upgraded 1.8 to 2mm nubuck uppers, with thermo-embossed detailing, provide a stylish design and enhanced durability. The nubuck leather is scuff resistant so the boot maintains its appeal through its lifespan.

Relaxed, comfortable fit

The relaxed fit makes the SCARPA Cyrus 2 boot ideal for everyday wear, and provides all-day comfort on adventures such as casual hikes, coastal paths, countryside walks and rough trails.

EVA midsole

Made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, the EVA midsole offers improved underfoot cushioning and shock absorption that minimises impact on the feet and joints.

SCARPA Presa outsole

The SCARPA Presa Energy 3 outsole with Super Gum compound ensures excellent grip thanks to the enhanced underfoot traction, aggressive heel braking and new self-cleaning lug pattern.

In summary: The SCARPA Cyrus 2 walking boot

The SCARPA Cyrus 2 is the ideal choice for everyday walking, hiking and travel. If you enjoy walks on terrain that is not too steep, but you require ankle protection, this is the boot for you. The essential combination of GORE-TEX waterproof performance, comfort and stability makes the SCARPA Cyrus 2 an all-round winner.
