Ladies Scarpa Boots

[Arenig]

Are there any ladies out there that wear The Scarpa Ranger GTX leather boots. My wife has got her eyes on a pair and they are priced at the mo at £114.99. I thought they were a little on the pricey side, though they do have a Gore-Tex membrane and Vibram soles, so they can't be bad. Any thoughts ladies?

I don't have a pair but they look great, make sure you hunt the web for a cheap pair once she's tried them on and decided on them. Personally I'm lusting over Berghaus GR20 GTX cos I want a pair of winter boots that don't cost the earth.

I can't decide between the Ranger GTX or the Trek GTX although just been looking at the Berghaus ones Cat's after and they look OK too! Too much choice.

Too much choice? you women have got too much money that's the trouble  I'll have a look at them Berghaus boot's though Cat. cheers for the replies.

If I had too much money I'd own the boots rather than be listing after them Boots are so difficult though, they're the foundation of all your gear and they have to be right.  Speaking of boots bought some pink ones for my partners daughter for £15, oh to fit into kids sizes!

Hi

I bought a pair of these boots Summer 08. They have been very good so far, take a bit of wearing in.  I decided to come back to leather because the lightweight boots I had previously fell apart after 13 months wear (Meindl) - so decided on a pair that would take the Long Distance Footpaths!

Probably just as important to buy them from a reputible shop - as to deciding which boots to go for in the first place.

Just to let you all know my OH has opted for a pair of the Meindl Ladies Borneo in the end. She tells me they are as comfy as a pair of slippers .... We'll see on Monday when we get back up to Snowdonia.
