FAQs

Are the Scarpa Crux 2 shoes waterproof?

The Crux 2 is not advertised as waterproof. It is a breathable suede shoe designed for technical approaches in mostly dry or mixed conditions.

Can I use these for long-distance hiking?

Yes, they are designed for technical approaches and long-distance treks, offering excellent lateral support and stability.

What is the best way to clean these shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and allow them to air dry away from heat.

Do they fit true to size?

Scarpa footwear typically has a technical fit. It is recommended to try them on with the socks you plan to hike in to ensure the right amount of toe room.

Is the sole replaceable?

While the high-quality Vibram rubber is very durable, it is not designed to be resoled. Proper care will help extend the life of the outsole.

Troubleshooting

The suede is showing signs of staining

Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift stains, then apply a suede-safe water repellent spray.

Foot slipping during technical scrambling

Ensure the laces are tightened properly, focusing on the tension around the instep to utilize the integrated support features.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip on technical, rocky surfaces
  • Durable, high-quality suede construction
  • Supportive fit for long-distance approaches
  • Versatile for both crag use and casual trekking

Cons

  • Suede material requires care to maintain appearance
  • Not waterproof for heavy rain or deep puddles
  • More rigid than a standard everyday sneaker

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Crux 2 shoes remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made from suede, avoid excessive machine washing, which can damage the texture and compromise the structural integrity. If they become dirty, brush off dried mud using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and ensure they air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to degrade. For fit, the suede material will slightly adapt to your foot shape over time, so ensure they feel secure but not restrictive during your initial fitting.
