Scarpa Rapid XT

With the Rapid XT, walking comfort may come first, but on-the-rock performance is a close second. This is a capable approach shoe, and while I would still prefer my TX4s for something meatier like a Cuillin Ridge traverse or a big mountain Diff, I'd happily choose the Rapid XT for hillwalking, scrambling days, and rugged crag approaches. It's well built, too, and looks like solid value at the price.
