Scarpa Attack

I have been utilizing the Scarpa Attack for over 20 years. They are lightweight, very durable, and comfortable. A good all round boot for the UK's climate, lower level.

It's time to put them into retirement as the leather is starting to crack around the sides, been applying lots of wax. Sorry to see them go. Let's see what Scarpa has in their place as this design is now discontinued.

The fit of the shoe was good for me, as I have wide feet. The lacing system is very easy to adjust. Breaking in time was short as it was undertaken by a couple of short walks across the wet moor. I find the boot to be very comfortable, with adequate support for both the foot and lower ankle.

Traction was good for the wet moor, which has peat, moss and pebbles on the pathways and in the land. During winter with heavy frost and considerable water under foot the boot was warm with a good level of water resistance. During the summer the boot remained cool.

After use the boot is easy to clean/maintain.

Over all a good lightweight boot which is suitable all year round in low levels. It is well constructed.

Bought these in 1994. Takes some time to break in. Great stiff, durable shoe. It's March 2013 and I just waterproofed them and they still look new. I took excellent care of them. I use for fishing, moderate hiking trails and casual wear around town. Best with a thick pair of wool socks. Use a wicking sock in warmer weather. Not recommended for extreme cold. Takes the shock off walking, excellent ankle support.

These boots kept my feet dry through stream crossings, stuck like glue to granite and also did a good job with strap-on crampons and gaiters. They helped me bear my pack weight very well and I still have all of my toenails after a day's down-mountain trek.

What else can I say? Scarpa makes a great, well-made, hard-working hiking boot.

I have hiked for 15 years in these wonderful boots and now the is very little traction. I have very wide 9.5 EEE feet.

Scarpa says the ATTAK is not longer made and that I should try their SL M3 wide.

Has anyone made this change? I am going to hedge my bets and get my old Limmers resoled.

Best boots I've had. Used them all year round climbing in Scotland.

Been used for over 15 years. Will be hard to find a good replacement.

I can only guess at the price as it was around 18 years ago. They have never let in water, never made my feet tired and have walked more miles than I care to remember.
Anyone know where I can get them resoled?

Have used these boots in the lakes, Monroes and Welsh mountains mainly in winter or wet weather with and without crampons. Grip extremely well on wet boulders. Have had these boots now for 15 years and still nearly as new. Amazing.

Good boots, still going strong a number of years after purchase with no problems.
