Initial Thoughts on the SCARPA Rush Polar GTX Hiking Boots

These hiking boots are awesome for a variety of adventures, from winter snowshoeing to muddy spring hikes. They have kept my feet incredibly dry and warm. They also provide amazing stability and traction across all different terrains, perfect for my slightly weak ankles.

Pros Cons
  • GORE-TEX® lining is both waterproof and breathable
  • These shoes are unisex and fit my narrow feet perfectly, I might caution those with wider feet
  • Mid-height cuff works to both protect your ankles on the trail as well as to keep snow from finding its way in
  • Consider sizing up a 1/2+ to accommodate the thicker insulation lining and take into consideration the type of socks you would wear (Euro sizing)
