Scarpa Men's Ribelle Trail Running Shoes, 14

Product Information

You've got to assume the GTX version weighs at least a little more than the unlined original, but I can't offer you direct comparison since Scrapa's weight figures online refer to different sizes. For the waterproof shoe they say 520g for a pair of size 38 (presumably this is the women's version since men's starts at 40 in the UK), while my much larger pair of size 47 weigh considerably more at 764g. Still I'd consider this midweight for a shoe, certainly not outrageous for a long day on your feet given the cushioning and support on offer (to say nothing of the waterproof membrane). Moving upward, both the men’s and women’s versions tighten using a BOA Fit System. BOA dials are often susceptible to snapping, so both of our testers instinctively approach them with caution. But Mary and Bergen both liked this one. It’s low profile and out of the way. Topo MTN Racer 2: If you like a more rounded toe box. Then the MTN Racer 2 would be one to consider. Here is our review: https://www.northernrunner.com/blog/topo-athletic-mtn-racer-2-review/ Currently only full European sizes are available in the UK and there is a size conversion to be aware of. There is about ¾ of a UK size between European sizes. The Ribelle Run fit a bit on the big side. I have a Euro 46 and usually wear a Euro 46.5 in most brands. In my experience the Ribelle Run size half a Euro size larger than most running brands, so I would suggest trying half a size smaller than you usually use. Another reason they feel a little larger is because of their wide fit, particularly across the forefoot. This is accompanied by quite a high volume around the midfoot. If you've historically had trouble finding shoes that fit your wide, chunky feet then these will potentially be the holy grail you've been looking for.

Scarpa was founded in 1938 in Asolo Italy and over the past 90 years has made climbing and walking footwear. As trail running has become more popular, it was natural for Scarpa to start to make trail running shoes. They recruited Marco De Gasperi, the 6 times World Mountain Running Champion (once as a Junior, five times as a Senior).

From a design standpoint, the shoes have some significant differences. The Kalibra’s gaiter (which Bergen much preferred) is about an inch taller and comes with a secure closure strap at the top. The Cyklon Cross zipper, in comparison, has a tendency to creep downward. Our women’s tester adjusting the zipper and the cuff on the Ribelle Run Kalibra G; (photo/Katherine Murphy) Stretch fabric ankle collar incorporated with a minimal stretch tongue provides gentle wrapping and support, reducing bulk and enhancing fit, and seals out trail debris.

Tested by the best and brought to the limit on technical and uneven terrain. Scarpa’s ‘Ribelle’ is a range of footwear that is designed for the most technical mountain conditions. The Ribelle Run is the running shoe within that range and has been designed for fast running over technical terrain. In my opinion I found them to be a very versatile trail running shoe. They are not just a ‘race shoe’ and are comfortable to wear on a variety of terrains and distances. Marco De Gasperi was previously sponsored by Scott and Hoka. You can see in the range of shoes he has helped design an influence from both brands. This is nothing new as both Scott and Hoka have had a lot of success in the trail running market and for that reason a lot of brands are influenced by these brands.

As per the comments in Fit, I wasn't a fan of the speed lacing, but do like the traditional laces supplied. The former felt a little sharp, and I found myself wanting a little more precision, although a part of this potentially comes down to the fact I was having to over-tighten due to the sizing issue I was experiencing.
