Our Verdict

The Scarpa Ribelle Run XT GTX is a versatile and rugged fast hiking shoe; it strikes an excellent balance between trail performance, weatherproofing, and comfort that will appeal to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts.

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproof membrane seals out rain and moisture while allowing superior breathability. This keeps your feet dry in wet conditions without getting sweaty. The tough mesh and TPU upper protect from trail hazards, while the supportive midsole ensures stable cushioning on uneven terrain.

Despite their robust construction, the Ribelle Run XTs are surprisingly light at 369 grams per shoe. This featherlight design allows for effortless movement, enhancing the hiking experience. The aggressive Presa traction outsole further enhances the shoe’s performance, providing a secure grip on muddy trails.
