Stable and protective fast hiking mid cut shoe

Ribelle Cross GTX is a comfortable mid-cut shoe that supports and protects the ankle. Ideal for the use for a long period of time, while being protected from weather condition thanks to the new GORE-TEX ePE membrane, which guarantees high technical performance with low environmental impact. The TPU rand recalls the iconic design of the RIBELLE family, while the sole is designed with a supportive system that guarantees a stable and cushioned stride to face all types of terrain.

Upper
Upper made in mash and kpu, designed to support every foot shape with a snug and comfortable fit for a prolonged use. The EXO upper construction system. A lateral protection, thermowelded cage, combined with upper, create an exoskeleton that better protect, support and contain the foot durnig running. 3D autofit ankle pad for comfort, protection and ankle wrap during walking.

Lining
The Gore-Tex ePE membrane provides excellent performance and sustainability, offering a waterproof, and breathable product. The membrane's optimal strength-to-weight ratio allows it to create extremely lightweight and thin products without compromising durability and high performance. The PFAS-free laminate, including the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, demonstrates a commitment to responsible chemical management, while also reducing the carbon footprint (per Higg MSI).

Technologies

Activ Fit System

System that develops different lasts, soles and models designed specifically for women and men feet. The models are designed and constructed for the best performance in various outdoor activities. Thanks to its experience and research, Scarpa offers absolute comfort. When we say "absolute", we think of a subjective benefit becoming objective comfort. This line establishes a high quality standard for better performance, comfort, style and durability.

Presa®

Presa is the ultimate expression of Scarpa's in-house R&D department in soles. An environment of exploration and technological innovation, where experience and scientific research come together. Each Presa sole is painstakingly developed with the context of its use in mind. The measurement of the main performance indicators (including Grip on dry and wet surfaces, Resistance) is fundamental in the choice of the best sole depending on the activity for which the shoe was designed..

Gore-Tex®

Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
