SCARPA may not be at the top of the list for many when it comes to trail/mountain running shoes, but with the release of the Ribelle Run, it absolutely should be.
I’ve always been a huge SCARPA fan. For over a decade, they’ve made some of the best mountaineering, skiing, climbing, and hiking shoes. But in terms of tried-and-true trail running shoes, the brand just hasn’t had the same popularity.
Fellow European brands like Salomon and La Sportiva have largely taken the limelight. But that’s all about to change.
Scarpa Invests in Trail Running
Back in the spring of 2019, the tide started to turn for SCARPA trail running products when it introduced the Spin Ultra. Well-received among shoe reviewers, the Spin Ultra is a well-protected, high-mileage, and stable trail runner.
There’s no doubt the Spin Ultra moved the needle for SCARPA closer to competitors Salomon and La Sportiva.
In a further effort to catch up to its European counterparts, SCARPA brought on six-time mountain running world champion Marco De Gasperi in the spring of 2020 as brand manager for the trail running category.
