Review: Gnarly, Stiff, Quality - Gnarly, Stiff, Quality: three words that summarize my first impression of these boots. I had been watching them for a while, waiting for a sale. Then I saw a pair of 46.5s used in good condition for $150 and I jumped. I would normally wear a 46, but I followed the advice in many reviews and went a half size bigger. Glad I did too , and not just for the $100 savings in the used boot. I also have a pair of Scarpa Mid GTX approach boots which I bought in 46, and I can see how the extra 1/2 size would have helped. So I am glad I upsized with these Fuegos. Gnarly: these kicks just look as though they are gonna' attack and eat whatever gets in their way. There is amazing padding in the tongue and around the ankles. Despite going up a half size to 12 1/2, these boots don't look like clown shoes.Because the entire boot is so beefy, the extra length seems unnoticeable. Stiff: like many reviews say, you can't bend them by hand. I mean you can, but it is hard. I stand on ledges, branches and other narrow footholds when snapping photos and am confident this stiffness will reduce fatigue and pain from extended standing on 'rung like' surfaces. Quality: these boots veritably SCREAM quality. Stitching is flawless. The suede uppers feel luxurious and durable, the lining strong and comfortable. As with my Scarpa GTX mids, the Fuego's insole is basically an unpadded liner. If you want a cushy footbed, buy an insole. The hardware through which the laces pass is quality too....no sharp edges to cut hurried, searching fingers in the dark. To sum up, these boots are up for any challenge, are built like a tank, stiff as a board (a good thang) and look as though they will outlast me. Buy a half size up on sale for $100 off and you too will be writing glowing reviews of these fine, fine boots. UPDATE: Went for an off trail photo hike today along the steep slopes of a burn recovering costal canyon. I've been wearing Bates and Bellville for years, but these Fuegos are a whole different class. Outstanding! They will take time to break in, but the inherent stiffness of the Scarpas makes brush busting easy.
Review: Awesome boits for wilderness hunting, backpacking or work. - I switched from some old logger style boots to these Scarpa boots. I wear a 9 to 9 1/2 in most boots and I went with 9 1/2. I'm glad I did. The boots fit perfectly for rough terrain and heavy loads backpacking and hunting. They are a stiff boot out of the box. Much more than any boot I have worn before. They are feeling a bit more like a normal boot but I am loving the support they offer. If you are not used to the mountaineering type boot the "ski boot" feel might be a little strange at first but you get used to it and they soften up a bit as you break them in. I wore mine on a few elk hunts and mule deer hunts right out of the box. No hot spots or blisters. If your thinking of some boots for backpacking, hunting or any sort of rugged wilderness work, these boots will probably work great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I almost always wear a 9 1/2, what is the recommended sizing? 42.5 or half size bigger?**
A: I wear a 10.5 shoe, just returned my 10.5 boots for a size 11. Wish I had read these reviews first! Fortunately Amazon's return policy is awesome!

**Q: do these boots measure 8 inches from heel to top of boot?**
A: Sounds like a fire boot question?  I haven't measured mine but use them as my fire boots, haven't ever gotten questioned on them and lots of other wildland folks wearing them too.  Hope that helps

**Q: what kind of leather is this? do i treat it with obenauf's or nikwax?**
A: It's a rough out leather so u can but maybe just down the road or if they got really wet

**Q: Thinking about getting these for the upcoming season instead of loggers, do these have good arch support?**
A: I have 2 seasons with these on a Shot crew. Just bought another set to break in for next year's season as mine should last this season.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and comfortable
*by J***H on June 25, 2021*

Love the Scarpa fuego! Super comfortable and solid construction and quality which I have come to expect from Scarpa. I've been in wildland for 18 years and I will never use a logger boot again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something different than a traditional logger style. Overall no break in period for comfort, but give them 4-6 weeks to unstiffen Overall. These do have a stiff feel at first but still comfortable out of box, first hike no discomfort or hot spots at all. I do recommend going up a half size too. I would say true to size but if you're like most all wildland hikers you need that little bit extra for the downhills. Best boot and good price considering the high price for loggers now a day. I also died mine black and it held up so far, 10 PT hikes, and 4 fires.
