Scarpa Cumbres - Falling Apart!


Ponzini

Recommended Posts

After only about 25 days of climbing on my Cumbres, the front toe piece of the sole (the part that holds the front crampon bail in place) has totally peeled away and is hanging by a thread. The sole has also been ground away on the sides and the boots are now pretty much useless for climbing. mad.gif

 

Anyone else have this problem? The wimpiness of the sole seems terrible for a boot that was supposed to be a quality mountain boot...

I've only got a few days in on my Cumbres, mostly on snow/ice, so they haven't taken much abuse yet. Hopefully I won't have the same problem as you. crazy.gif

 

On the other hand, my Salomon Super Mountain 9's are still going strong after 7 years and plenty of abuse. Salomon did a resole on 'em a couple of years back for something like $30, which should keep 'em going for another few years. thumbs_up.gif
