Scarpa Mescalito Approach Shoe

Overall, the Scarpa Mescalito proved to be a real workhorse of an approach shoe. Its strength comes from its stability when ascending and descending steep terrain and its tough build, that after six months of testing, looked almost the same as when we started our review. Adding to its strengths, the Mescalito is very light and kept our feet warm and dry in the wettest conditions. If we had to pick something to improve, it would be a small reduction of bulk in its heel to provide the user with more freedom of movement. Nonetheless, we would highly recommend this shoe to anyone who wants their approach shoes to last more than one season and for those who are looking for more stability when regularly ascending and descending steep terrain.
