Manta Tech Gtx Mountaineering Boot

The SCARPA Manta is a mountain boot that has been an icon for over three decades.

As a multi award winning model in various generations it has represented the “benchmark” in 4 season mountain boots. Evolving over many generations, the new Manta Tech represents the 7th incarnation in a long line of market leading equity!

Built on the proven and very well appreciated FT last, it offers a unique and complimentary fit to other models in the mountain collection.

The outsole package maintains its stability with a proven, durable and reliable package that suits the workhouse nature of the boot and underfoot assurance is maintained with the outstanding Vibram Mulaz S sole unit.

The key changes however focus on the upper, where lines have been cleaned reducing stitching and materials facilitating the updated cosmetics, whilst maintaining a perfect flexation/support balance in the cuff area. The use of a larger heel pull tab facilitates easier access in and out of the boot, especially with a gloved hand. The use of the partial TPU rand, has helped with the optics, but also reduced some weight, alongside the new lace hardware. A key update has been to use the higher insulation of the GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort, which will allow the boot to perform at a higher altitude and in colder conditions than previous generations.

• 3mm Perwanger Suede leather upper with GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort lining for durable warmth
• Full perimeter combination rand of rubber and PU for abrasion resistance
• Multi-density PU midsole provides support and cushioning
• Vibram® outsole in Mont rubber gives long lasting traction and security
• TPU heel insert ensures a solid interface with semi-automatic crampons (C2)

Resoling Possible
Scarpa shoes and boots are built to the highest standard and should serve you for many years of use. However, just like tyres on a car, the rubber parts of a boot, shoe or rock shoe can wear down with use, and that’s why we offer a full re-sole service.

Resoling not only extends the lifespan of your Scarpa footwear, it also returns it to it’s very best level of performance.
