Scarpa Mens Margarita-M

I was looking for a shoe that was attractive enough to wear around town or dress up a bit but rugged enough for light hiking, biking, exploring, etc.: essentially, the "I only need to pack one pair of shoes" shoes for a trip with a bit of everything. This shoe is comfortable, stylish, and so far has held up very well. They are perhaps a bit thin in the sole, as you would expect from an approach-style shoe made by a climbing company, but there is plenty of room to add a more structured insole or additional padding if you wanted it. The Vibram sole grips well without feeling heavy or chunky, and the upper materials are durable but light. An all-around excellent shoe.EDIT: After having these shoes for a while, I've reduced my rating from 5 stars to 4. Most of what I say above is still accurate, but the upper started to separate a bit from the sole not long after purchasing these shoes. It seems to be primarily cosmetic--the sole remains firmly attached, there's just some separation around the edges--but given the price tag, I expected construction of higher quality.

I purchased these recently with high expectations - having bought a pair of the Scarpa Mojito nearly three years back and they have held up wonderfully including a few trips overseas with plenty of walking. However, the Margarita pair, while ordered in the same size as the Mojito, are uncomfortably small. I was hoping I would be able to break them in/stretch the toe box out enough before my upcoming trip overseas, but sadly that did not happen. So now I am stuck with a relatively expensive shoe that doesn't fit properly.The shoe itself seems well made, especially if it is anything like the Mojito. I would suggest ordering a half size larger than expected. I'm disappointed with the difference of shoe sizes between my two pairs of Scarpa - hopefully this isn't a common issue, because they really are great shoes. Thank you.

these are great shoes, I wish I had purchased them sooner.they're light weight and made well, comfortable enough to wear all day. I never had any hot-spots breaking them in.they lace all the way to the toes, so you can tie them to be snug and/or loose where you want.the soles are thin so you can feel what you're stepping on, and the rubber has good traction and is durable I can't really see any wear (other than dirt) and I walk to work in them every day.I normally wear between a 9-9.5, got these in a 9.5 and they're perfect for me, so I'd say they're a little on the small side for a 9.5these are a solid, plain (in a good way), uncomplicated shoe. I will definitely be buying more from Scarpa.

Bought these to replace my old Scarpa Men's Caipirinhas that are now almost worn out. Not exactly the same fit, but a great alternative since they don't make the former shoe anymore. Solid construction and loafer feel if you leave the laces super loose. The sizing on these is slightly larger than the Caipirinhas, so if you're looking to replace those, try a half size to a full size smaller in the Margarita, depending on how tight your Caips were. Mine were cramped in the toes, and my same size Margs (43.5) let my feet shift side to side a tiny bit.

January 2018 Update:These are great shoes and certainly have held up to my vigorous walking around Seattle. However, the insoles have not. They wore out pretty quickly and caused the shoes to be uncomfortable. So be prepared to replace them. I picked up some Honey Soles and those have brought these back to life.Original March 2017 Review:These are the best casual/tennis shoes I've ever put on my feet. Fit perfect right out of the box, they feel amazing. I hope they keep making these for a long time, maybe in other colors too.

These tend (like most European shoes) to run a little small. I'd suggest ordering 1/2 to 1 size larger. However, I am very active outdoors and these are some of the best, most comfortable (and good-looking) shoes I have ever purchased. I will buy again — IF they ever wear out — which I don't anticipate happening for a very long time. A great purchase!

I bought these because I love Scarpa and wanted something casual that looked really good with shorts. I like converse but feel I may have out grown them being that I am 36. Scarpa describes it as more of a casual shoe but I think it's still a great light hiker as well. It has a vibram sole, which will last forever. The fit is great (9/ 42 mens). I typically wear 9.5 mens in a running shoe and 9 in hiking shoes and boots. I haven't seen anyone else wearing them, which is also great.

a bit pricey but w the styling and the vibram soles - i was sold. v comfy right out of the box ... i got the grey ones - returned them since i felt they would get dirty in the maine weather ... ended up getting the Night color directly from scarpa - no one has size 11 ( 44.5) ... btw these sneakers make my feet look small. good width - and i have wide feet .not much in way of arch support ...sticky sole - good on wet surfaces and ice .would buy again

Great, but this was a repeat buy, so I knew exactly what I was getting

Always a great fit and product
