Testing Conditions
I tested this shoe in the rain, mud, and hardpack dirt roads while I was training for a marathon. This meant I was running anywhere from five to 20 miles in all conditions in Montana in the springtime. That means snow one day and sunshine the next.
(Full disclosure: I used these as training shoes that I could beat up in all conditions and opted for a more road-specific shoe for asphalt runs and race day.)
Fit
The Scarpa Ultra shoes are impressive. They’re comfortable, shock-absorbant, and the Vibram soles can handle anything. As someone who was putting down some serious miles, these shoes didn’t give me any blisters.
They do come up fairly high on the heels which caused mild irritation at first, and I had to purchase custom footbeds, but I really enjoyed their comfort combined with stability. Overall, stoked! They fit true to size with a bit of pressure on the toe box. I have narrow feet, and they worked really well for me.
Look/Style
They look awesome. I love the green and grey! The tread pattern is burley without being clunky, and the side ventilation is super effective. I didn’t have sweaty feet even after hours of nonstop running. They are light and sleek, and I seriously couldn’t get over how dry my feet were when I was running in the rain through mud puddles and slop.
I highly recommend this shoe. The Scarpa Spin Ultra helped me feel unstoppable.
