Scarpa Manta GSB Climbing Boot

Posted by admin June - 23 - 2009 - Tuesday 2 COMMENTS

The Scarpa Manta GSB climbing boot is a fantastic boot for use on multi terrains. The boot is suited to hill walking, mountain climbing, hiking and also for glacier walking.

This new updated version of the boot which has been the top 4 season walking boot in the last few seasons is now 10% lighter due to the new sole unit.

Scarpa Manta GSB Jorasses Sole Unit

The Jorasses GSB sole is a unique development from one of the top sole manufacturers – Vibram. A dual compound sticky rubber is used and the sole has a softer rubber at the front of the foot. The overall make up of the rest of the sole is manufactured in a unique way to create a great 4 season boot. The boot is lightweight due to this unique sole and has great shock absorption qualities.

The shoe also excels when you require the use of crampons as the sole is uniquely molded to accommodate the use of step in crampons. The system is much faster than others we have seen in getting the crampons on and off and is also much safer due to the GSB Manta boot having no protrusions to catch onto debris.

Scarpa DL Last

The “last” is the foot shaped model that the boot has been crafted around. This is what will give a boot its characteristics. Scarpa develop lasts specifically for the use of each boot. The Manta GSB boot uses what is called the DL Last. It is stated by Scarpa that this last has been “tested and proven in many of Scarpa’s best selling alpine models, this last provides a higher volume and broader fit, with exceptional all day mountain comfort, regardless of the activity.”

Manta GSB Technical Specifications

  • Weight of 63 oz / 1795g
  • Crampon rating – B2
  • New DL Last giving comfort
  • GSB Jorasses sole
  • Pro fibre mid-sole giving flexibility
  • Taibrelle/velvatine lining managing moisture and giving great comfort
  • Temperature guideline -7.5 C to +25 C
  • Grivel air tech GCB crampon recommended

Scarpa Manta Boot Review

The Manta GSB walking boot is built for 4 season treks in a variety of terrains. Scarpa have again delivered a great boot that meets the needs of many hikers giving comfort and practicality. The technology is leading edge and made with the customer in mind. With the new lightweight version of the boot due to the unique sole development the Manta Scarpa GSB boot should definitely be tested out.
