FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the Scarpa Ribelle Run LT WP is designed for medium to long-distance trail running, making them suitable for marathons and ultra-marathons on technical terrain.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Ensure there is a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While comfortable, their aggressive tread and technical design are optimized for trail running. For casual walking on pavement, a less aggressive shoe might be more suitable and comfortable.

How durable is the waterproof membrane?

The SCARPA Waterproof System is engineered for durability. With proper care, the membrane should maintain its waterproof and breathable qualities for the lifespan of the shoe.

What is the main difference between Ribelle Run LT WP and other Ribelle models?

The 'LT WP' specifically denotes a Lightweight (LT) version with added Waterproof (WP) protection. Other Ribelle models might vary in weight, cushioning, or waterproof capabilities.

How often should I clean my trail running shoes?

It's best to clean off mud and debris after each significant run. A more thorough clean with water can be done as needed, especially if the shoes become very dirty or are used in wet conditions.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Scarpa Ribelle Run LT WP has a heel-to-toe drop of 6 mm (Heel: 28 mm / Toe: 22 mm).

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite being waterproof shoes.

Ensure the laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Condensation can also occur during intense activity; ensure socks are moisture-wicking.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Clean the lugs of the Presa TRN-09 sole to remove packed debris. The grip is optimized for trail conditions; performance may vary on extremely polished or wet indoor surfaces. Ensure the shoe is broken in, as initial runs might have slightly less traction.

Discomfort or pressure points during runs.

Re-evaluate lacing technique to ensure even pressure distribution. The Sock-Fit LW system is designed to conform, but some adjustment may be needed. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if thicker/thinner socks are required.

Upper feels too restrictive.

The EXO system provides support, which can feel snug. Loosen the laces slightly around the midfoot area while maintaining heel lock. Allow a break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Scarpa Ribelle Run LT WP is ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you have laced them correctly, utilizing the integrated lacing system to achieve a snug and comfortable fit without excessive tightness. For optimal performance, break them in on shorter runs before embarking on long-distance efforts.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running on technical terrain, including rocky paths, muddy trails, and mixed surfaces. They are compatible with standard running socks. No specific gear is required beyond typical trail running apparel.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Waterproofing: The SCARPA Waterproof System is designed for durability. Periodically check the membrane's integrity. Avoid using silicone-based treatments, which can clog the membrane's pores.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
