Scarpa Golden Gate Kima RT
Elevate your performance in the mountains with the Golden Gate Kima RT, born from the needs of elite mountain competitors traversing some of the harshest terrain you can find. The mesh and PU reinforced upper provides structure and support, while the technical last shape and our Sock-fit LW technology means a dialed in fit for moving fast over technical terrain. The midsole features our Foot Active Control system, combined with a carbon fiber plate and a Presa SuperGum outsole, for ultimate traction and security when venturing above treeline.

Technologies
PRESA®
PRESA® is SCARPA’s proprietary outsole brand, born out of 80+ years of technical outsole design experience, to deliver the best traction solutions available. IKS technology features seven internal impact absorption “domes” in the outsole and midsole that function just like shock absorbers, compressing upon impact to absorb energy. The impact zones are anatomically mapped to provide additional shock exactly where it is needed the most, while maintained stability outside those zones. The midsole material itself is dual-density EVA, providing additional lightweight shock absorption. Incorporated into the midsole is a Dynamic Stabilizer Torsion frame made of TPU (thermoplastic urethane). The DST frame wraps under the arch and extends back along both sides of the heel, for outstanding rearfoot stability and torsion control. The lug design of the outsole provides confidence-inspiring traction via 4mm deep lugs and SuperGum rubber compound, which balances high friction with durability.
Sock-Fit LW
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.
EXO SCARPA
Upper construction system designed by SCARPA. Lateral protection (inserts or therm-welded cage) combined with upper, create an exoskeleton that better protect, support and contain the foot.
