Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA, a family owned company with its headquarters and performance footwear manufacturing facilities in northern Italy, where it began in 1938.
It all starts with understanding the needs, because there are no solutions without this. The solutions have been, are and will still be, different, but always united by the strengths that allow SCARPA to be SCARPA: the guarantee of extreme comfort, improved performance and maximum durability of the products.
This is why SCARPA boots work so well in our New Zealand backyard, whether you're on a hunting trip or a tramp to bag a peak; in the North, South or Stewart Islands.
Our picks
Our picks are the ZG Pro GTX for hunting in the North Island while the SL Active suits the more alpine environ of the South. But everyone is different so visit your local stockist to find the best boot for you.
