Scarpa Moraine GTX Hiking Shoes - Grey - Size UK 8

The Scarpa Moraine GTX is best suited for 3-season use (spring, summer, autumn). While waterproof, they are not insulated for extreme cold and may not provide sufficient warmth or grip for deep snow or icy conditions.

These shoes are designed for instant comfort. However, it's always recommended to wear them around the house or for short walks before embarking on longer hikes to ensure a perfect fit and allow your feet to adapt.

The RECCO System is a two-part technology used by ski resorts and mountain rescue teams. It consists of reflectors integrated into the shoe and detectors used by rescuers. It aids in the location of individuals in the event of an avalanche or if lost in the backcountry.

While they offer good grip and comfort, these are primarily hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with more flexibility, lighter weight, and specific running cushioning might be more appropriate.

The GORE-TEX membrane itself is highly durable. However, the water-repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric can wear off over time. Regular cleaning and reapplication of a DWR treatment can help maintain the shoe's performance.

Yes, the Scarpa Moraine GTX is designed to be a lightweight hiking shoe, prioritizing comfort and agility for extended wear.

Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. Check for any physical damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may have degraded over time and might require a re-waterproofing treatment.

Clean the outsole of mud, dirt, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the terrain is within the expected capabilities of the PRESA HK-04 outsole; extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.

Ensure the correct size and fit. Try adjusting lace tension, as too tight or too loose can cause discomfort. Wear with appropriate hiking socks. If the issue is persistent, consider if the shoe's intended use aligns with your activity intensity.

The RECCO System is a passive reflector and requires an active search device (RECCO detector) to function. It does not emit a signal on its own. Ensure you are in an area where search and rescue teams are equipped with RECCO detectors.
