FAQs
Are the Scarpa RUSH TRK GTX suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane offers excellent waterproofing and breathability, making them suitable for wet conditions. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider if additional insulation or specific winter hiking boots are required based on temperature and expected snow depth.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, the Scarpa RUSH TRK GTX are designed to be resoled. It is recommended to have this done by an authorized SCARPA resole shop to maintain the boot's integrity and performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Scarpa and measure your foot length accurately. It's also advisable to try them on with your preferred hiking socks. Consider the UK size 10.5 in this specific model.
What is the primary benefit of the IKS technology?
The Interactive Kinetic System (IKS) uses cushioning domes in the sole to absorb shock and provide progressive support, significantly reducing fatigue on your feet and lower limbs during long hikes and on impact.
How often should I re-waterproof the suede uppers?
Re-waterproofing frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It is generally recommended after cleaning or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically every few months of regular use.
What is the main difference between the Rush Trek and Rush TRK GTX models?
While both are part of the Rush series, the 'GTX' designation specifically indicates the inclusion of a GORE-TEX membrane for enhanced waterproof and breathable protection, making the TRK GTX model better suited for consistently wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet.
Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised and that the boots were properly cared for. Check that laces are snug to prevent water ingress at the ankle. If the issue persists, the membrane may need servicing or replacement.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the sole lugs of any packed mud or debris. Ensure the Supergum rubber compound is not excessively worn. For very icy conditions, consider using additional traction devices.
Ankle rubbing or discomfort.
Adjust the lacing to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Wear appropriate hiking socks. The padded Autofit 3D collar may require a short break-in period.
Boots feel heavy after a long day.
Ensure proper lacing technique and consider the sock thickness. The weight is indicative of the support and protection offered; long-distance comfort is aided by the IKS system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have appropriate hiking socks for maximum comfort. The lacing system allows for precise adjustment to secure your foot.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male use, primarily for hiking and trekking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks. While they are resoleable, this service should only be performed by authorized SCARPA resole shops.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove mud and dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth for tougher grime. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Waterproofing: For suede uppers, use a specific suede cleaner and waterproofing treatment periodically to maintain their water-resistant properties. For the GORE-TEX membrane, rinse with clean water if heavily soiled.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
