Exactly the comparison I was looking for. Best review of either boot that I’ve seen to be honest. Great video!

Perfect, I was looking at the Scarpa's for some Scottish summer mountaineering as my hiking boots just fell apart and my winter mountaineering boots are way to much for summer

Thanks for this. Am considering the Zodiacs for PNW backpacking. After trying them on, I'm pretty impressed by how low profile and stable they are.

I agree. The Quests are a great boot, but the Zodiacs allow just a but more confidence. I just got back from hiking through some scree and a few snow chutes, definitely glad I had the Zodiacs on. Thanks for watching!

Pacific NW Is not the place to purchase Salomon Ultra 4. My first 10 mile hike trying to break them in they leaked in one boot. I owned the ultra 3 for a few years with no issue until they wore out. Poor quality control. Returned and ordered the Scarpas. Thanks for the video the music's kind of annoying.

Interesting. I also replace the insoles in my Scarpa's with SOLE ones. They're great boots with insoles that are kinda mediocre. I was developing plantar fasciitis for the first time in my middle aged life until I replaced the insoles. The same applies across the range except maybe the new Rush which seem to have better insoles and more cushioning. Maybe Scarpa have received negative feedback about the insoles and are trying to improve matters. Mammut are also very good boots but they really need to be tried on. The toe box volume is low on some of them.

My Mammut Trovat Tour High GTX are leagues ahead of these two boots. The amount of owner reviews I’ve read about the Salomon boots leaking and falling apart in less than a year is plentiful.

I had the solomons 3d, short model. They wore out fast. I have the scarpa zodiac 1.5 years. Best boots I have ever own. I don't think they will be in good enough condition to resole. Mid sole is starting to separate from upper and side stitches are ripping and coming undone. I am hard on my boots. I think another 6months to a year until they are done. Hopefully.

Came here seeking affirmation for my recent purchase of the Kaliash Plus, which seems like a very similar boot to the Zodiac. I have planned an upcoming expedition across the Tian Shan and Himalaya which will involve a lot of moraine, off trail, light glacier travel, and steep McNasty shepherding routes. I too was really impressed with the stiffness off the shelf. Any updates on the durability though? I purchased it with the hope that it'd last at least 3 or 4000km before coming to rest in a dumpster

I'm still wearing the first pair of the Zodiac, they are still going strong! I'm about 75 to 100miles per year, durability has not been an issue for me compared to the Salomon GTX.

I don't agree that the Zodiac is not for your every day hike. Depends where you live though. I live in an are with few trails and steep wet and dry terrain all around. The Scarpas are the go to every day. Unfortunately they are going out of production so get them while they still are available.

I think we are saying the same thing. For groomed trails, I feel they are too aggressive. Off trail and steep terrain they are excellent. I hope an updated boot will be just as good. Thanks for watching!

off trail is the way to go, and gear to satisfy. Get away from mountain bikers and social hikers
