I wore out two pairs of earlier design Scarpa SL’s on many peaks and winter camps even though they were only rated “three season”. Those boots were the most comfortable and versatile hikers I have ever owned. Inevitable replacement needs had me look at this new model first. I was not thrilled with the elevated footbed and the fact that Scarpa apparently was falling in step with the footbed design of worthy but lesser competitors like Asolo and Vasque.
