  Size Chart

The Skorpius made a splash when it debuted, owing to its balance of stiffness and hikeability. Picking up where the original left off, La Sportiva's Skorpius the Second uses carbon-infused Pebax material throughout the shell and cuff. The tongue has been reinforced, averting the occasional breakage issues seen with previous versions of the boot. To suit a wider audience, the instep is higher, with an offset boa maintaining the precise heel hold Skorpius users have come to expect. With three forward lean settings, a moldable liner, and a Grip Guard sole, this boot has technical ski mountaineering credentials while also being comfortable enough for more quotidian outings. Make your feet proud and your friends jealous with the La Sportiva Skorpius CR II!

  • Shell, tongue, and cuff are made from biologically-derived Pebax, reinforced with carbon for lightness, stiffness, and environmental conscientiousness.
  • Thermomoldable Skorpius II liner incorporates areas of high and low density foam for targeted comfort and maneuverability.
  • Swing-lock closure system prevents snow clogging.
  • Optional power strap is easily removable to simplify transitions.
  • EZ 3D flex tongue with boa promises durability and adjustability.

Question from Kyle
 
How does this version ski compared to the last version and new boots in the class like the Salomon MTN Summit?

Answer from jbo
 
Hi Kyle, I've skied both boots and have many days on the Skorpius II. It did not change ski performance from the first version, just the instep fit. It's still in a class of its own, more powerful than the Summit.

Answer from Kyle S
 
Thanks jbo! Curious if would place the MTN Summit closer to the Skorpius or F1 LT in skiability? I like the forward lean adjustment of the MTN Summit, but do want to get the best skiing boot I can under ~1200g. Read in a couple other places that the MTN summit skis pretty stiff.

Answer from jbo
 
Hi Kyle, obviously fit is going to be important to get the best skiing boot, and stiffness does not imply "best skiing" for lots of folks. For example, the F1 LT is a stiff boot, but not super progressive (hence SCARPA introducing the GT version).
I think the MTN Summit skis well for its weight and maintains a decent flex. I'm not on board with the category-breaking rumors I've been hearing.
