Materials and Construction
Upper: Suede Plus 1.6–1.8 mm + Textile
The Ribelle Trek GTX use a durable Suede Plus leather upper combined with textile panels, providing a strong balance between structure, protection and flexibility for trekking environments.
Lining: GORE-TEX More Seasons Stretch Textile
The GORE-TEX ePTFE More Seasons Stretch Textile lining provides waterproof protection while maintaining breathability during walking across changing conditions.
This membrane helps keep feet dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration vapour to escape during movement.
Midsole: P-Flex Insole
The Ribelle Trek GTX uses a P-Flex insole, which forms part of the boot's internal support structure between the upper and the outsole.
This structural layer helps stabilise the foot on uneven terrain by controlling midfoot flex while still allowing natural movement during walking. Balancing flexibility at the front of the foot with support through the centre of the boot contributes to a smoother and more controlled stride over longer distances.
Outsole: Roll Trk Sole
The Ribelle Trek GTX features Scarpa's Roll Trk sole, which provides a smooth, natural walking motion.
This dynamic sole construction supports forward movement efficiency during longer trekking days.
Last: ART Fit (Men)
The boot is built on Scarpa's ART last, designed to provide a balanced trekking fit suitable for long-distance walking comfort and stability.
