About the Scarpa Men's Crux Approach Shoes

The Scarpa Crux is a lace-up approach shoe built for scrambling and rough trails, with a suede and mesh upper, an EVA midsole and a sticky rubber outsole. At about 13.5 oz per shoe it sits in the middle of the approach-shoe class: lighter than burly leather mountain shoes, heavier and more protective than minimal trail runners. Owners rate it highly for grip on rock and all-day comfort, and it is a solid choice for hikers who want one shoe for the approach and easy climbing. It is not a waterproof boot, so wet weather and cold conditions favor a Gore-Tex model instead.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Scarpa Crux waterproof?
    No. It has a suede and mesh upper without a Gore-Tex liner, so it resists light moisture but soaks through in sustained rain.
    What is the Crux best for?
    Scrambling, easy rock climbs and rocky day hikes. It grips rock well but is less supportive than a stiff mountain boot.
    How does it compare with the Scarpa Mojito?
    The Crux is a more technical approach shoe with a stickier outsole and more protection. The Mojito is a lighter, casual-leaning shoe for town and easy trails.
    Does the Crux run true to size?
    Most owners say it fits true to size, though those with wide feet may want to size up. It comes in a very wide size run.
    How much does the Scarpa Crux weigh?
    About 13.5 oz per shoe, mid-range for an approach shoe: lighter than leather mountain shoes, heavier than trail runners.
