Scarpa’s Trail Running shoes are created by trail runners – with a passion for running at their heart. In this blog we take a deep dive into our trail running collection and find out what makes them a favourite with our athletes.
Running Passion
Our passion for the mountains and for running is the engine that drives our desire to conceive and create high-performance products.

Technology
Take a look behind the scenes at what makes Scarpa’s trail running shoes stand out from the crowd:
Upper construction system designed and developed by SCARPA. Lateral protections (inserts or thermowelded cage) combined with upper, create an exoskeleton that better protect, support and contain the foot
The evolution of the concept of performance, agility and comfort. A construction system that offers a fit as snug as a sock, Sock-Fit by SCARPA gives the feeling of being one with your footwear. On the Trail Running models, the tongue is constructed in a single piece of elastic fabric which allows a light wrap around your feet, offering a snug feel and lateral stability .
ACS – The ACS (Active Cushioning System) guarantees balanced, reactive and dynamic cushioning.
Foot Active Control – The new Foot Active Control technology on the upper side and central sections has a higher density to ensure stability and control during landing and rolling, as well as greater safety on traverses.
