So vividly and engagingly expressed! Bravo, very and unexpectedly entertaining, and thank you.

Great job on your reviews, you always cover all aspects of each boot and give us a good idea of which boots we may like to buy. Keep up the good work. This Scarpa boot is exactly what I am looking for except for the absurd colors on it. If Scarpa would take those colors off the boot eh would hit a home run

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you for watching! And yea, 100% agree on colors! A bit silly stuff. The need a tactical, non-reflective version!

[@jamesking4225]

They are made to be a little stiff for alpine use

[@schwuliantatutata7849]

Jep, and especially for via ferrata.

[@paulbooth77]

Great insight, thank you. I feel Scarpa & La Sportiva are the premium brands for hard hiking/moutaineering but brands like Saloman, AKU, Meindl & Zamberlan are also very good. The Zodiacs are definitely great for hiking but don't try tree climbing 14.18 in them... maybe that wasn't what you meant to say?!

[@cvetomirtodorov5509]

Great review and thanks for your effort. This boot is definitely not designed for running, but your other complaints are on point. I would recommend you to take a look at, and possibly review, Scarpa Rush Mid GTX. I think they would suit more your preferences. And would be more appropriate for the Ultimate Survival section. Although they do have some drawbacks, too. Personally I hike with Scarpa Rush Trk GTX. I like them so maybe others would, too, with a review. But not as an Ultimate Survival - their soles are also not very flexible, but probably aren't as stiff as the Zodiac.

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

Thank you for watching! I will definitely check out Rush Mid GTX. Back when I was making this review, I wasn't that much familiar with mountaineering, where you definitely want a much stiffer sole like in Zodiac.

Scarpa Zodiac Plus GTX vs Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX, what would your choice be for an all-around boot? Thanks!

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

All around, 100% Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX. Scarpa Zodiac are a mountaineering boot, something that you definitely don't want on a regular hike in the park. Now if you are shredding through the mountains in 3-season conditions, Scarpa is the option you want to consider.

@@UltimateSurvivalGear Copy. Thanks for your feedback. Have a good one!

[@movewithrabi2591]

Salimon vs scarpa which one is best for nepal everest basecamp hike?

[@jakewerth9614]

Build quality is way better with the Scarpa. Solomon will be more comfortable out if the box.

[@StecherHockey]

Outsole is stiff for side hilling and climbing

[@worop]

Lol... "can't run in them" obviously they're not made for running, these are quite techical mountain boots :D

[@UltimateSurvivalGear]

I know right lol I was thinking more of a bear chase situation... or a wild goat, since these are more alpine terrain appropriate.
