Scarpa

It depends on the model. Scarpa fit varies between styles, so a single verdict for the whole brand would be misleading, and we only publish a fit verdict where we have measured one. The dependable way to answer it for the pair you are buying is to work from a shoe you already own and know fits: enter it above and we will tell you which Scarpa size matches it.

Start from a shoe you already own that fits, rather than from your usual number. Enter it above and we will convert through foot length to the matching Scarpa size, which is the part that carries across brands. The EU to US offset is not the same for every brand, so a rule of thumb learned elsewhere will not hold here.

Not directly, because a size label means whatever the brand decides it means. A Nike 42 and an Adidas 42 are cut for different foot lengths, and so is a Scarpa 42. Foot length is the common unit, which is why our comparison works from the measurements behind each brands chart rather than from the number printed on the box.

Scarpa is an Italian mountain footwear company founded in 1938, producing technical climbing shoes, mountaineering boots, and hiking footwear. The brand is known for innovation and handcrafted quality.

Scarpa boots generally fit true to size with precise Italian construction. Different models may vary in fit, with climbing shoes intentionally snug and hiking boots more accommodating.

For Scarpa hiking boots, order your normal EU size. For technical climbing shoes, expect a very snug, performance fit. Trail running shoes may require going up half a size.
