FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and breathability. For very cold conditions, consider adding thermal socks and ensure the boots are appropriately sized for circulation. They are primarily designed for three-season mountain use.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during descents and that the heel is secure to prevent rubbing.
Can these boots be resoled?
Yes, the RUSH TRK GTX boots are resolable. It is best to use an official SCARPA resole shop to maintain the integrity and performance of the boot.
How often should I re-waterproof the suede?
Reapply waterproofing treatment after significant cleaning or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Typically, this might be once or twice a season depending on usage and environmental conditions.
What is the benefit of the IKS system?
The IKS (Interactive Kinetic System) uses cushioning domes in the sole to absorb shock from impacts with the ground, reducing stress on your lower limbs and enhancing comfort during long periods of walking or hiking.
Are the laces durable?
The boots feature a lacing system designed for even pressure distribution and precise adjustment. It is recommended to inspect laces regularly for wear and tear and replace them if necessary.
What is the weight of a single boot?
A single boot (size EU 46) weighs approximately 555 grams.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase distance. Ensure proper lacing to avoid pressure points.
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.
Check sock moisture wicking properties. Ensure the boots are not over-saturated externally and that the GORE-TEX membrane is intact (no punctures). Reapply waterproofing treatment if external water is penetrating the suede.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the sole of mud and debris. The SUPERGUM rubber compound performs best on clean surfaces. If wear is significant, consider resoling.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Clean with a damp cloth and brush. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Apply a suede waterproofing spray after cleaning to restore protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready for immediate use and do not require a specific setup process. Ensure they fit correctly before embarking on a hike; proper lacing is crucial for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility:
The RUSH TRK GTX is designed for general hiking, trekking, and mountain use. They are compatible with most types of hiking socks and gaiters. For activities requiring specific rigid soles (e.g., certain mountaineering), verify compatibility with your equipment.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner.
- Drying: Air dry boots naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture if heavily saturated.
- Waterproofing: Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for suede and GORE-TEX periodically, especially after thorough cleaning, to maintain performance.
- Resoleable: These boots are resolable. It is recommended to have them resoled by an official SCARPA resole shop before excessive wear to maintain structural integrity and performance.
