Scarpa Caipirinah Casual Shoes - Women's

Sizing Chart

Scarpa Sizing Chart

General fitting rules depend on the product's intended use... follow the appropriate guidelines below for best results.

Trail/mountain/approach/lifestyle products:

• The bigger/heavier/more supportive the product, the more you may want to upsize .5 - 1full size. Lighter, softer, more supple shoes can be sized closer to your measured size.
• Note: SCARPA Plastic mountain boots all use UK sizing; UK converts easily: 1 full size smaller than US men's size, 2 sizes smaller than US women's size.
• Try on with appropriate socks for your usage. The bigger the boot, the more appropriate a bigger sock (sounds crazy, huh?)
• If you use orthotics or already have aftermarket footbeds, measure against the standard footbed in boot. Fit into boot for sizing/fitting the boot.
• Best to try on at the end of the day when your feet are larger/swollen, than when your feet are fresh to ensure good fit after a long day.
• Lacing can play an incredibly important part of a good fit. Be sure to play with lacing when analyzing fit.
• Make sure your heel isn't slipping.
• Make sure your toes aren't hitting the end.

**Approach shoes may be sized smaller for performance purposes but beware... small shoes are really uncomfortable on the trail.

Rock climbing shoes

• From your measured size, you'll want to consider downsizing .5 - 2 full sizes. The flatter the shoe, the closer to your measured size; the more downturned/aggressive the shoe, the more you'll want to downsize.
• The best fit is comparative between sizes and only you will be able to judge that, though an experience climber could offer good insights to your fit.
• If it feels painful, it may break in... or it may not.
• Pain sucks as a rule of thumb though and makes climbing miserable.
• Only you can judge what's 'acceptable' discomfort.
• Good fitting rock shoes shouldn't necessarily be 'comfortable' by walking/running shoe standards.
• Look for looseness/bagginess in the toes and heel. Bagginess can mean 'slop' when climbing with feet perspiring, etc.
• Toes should completely fill the toebox.
• Heel should feel solid; like they won't pull off if heel hooking.
• Any foot movement in new shoes will mean sloppy fit when broken in.

Ski boots

• From your measured foot, convert to US size using the scale. Translate the US size to Mondo size using the SCARPA mondo scale (not 'true' mondo conversion)
• Shell fit: taking liner out of the shell and inserting foot, toes touching end of shell but completely flat.
• Should have 1.5 - 2 fingers of space behind heel and heel of shell (between 14mm - 20mm)
• Too little space = go up one shell
• Too much space = go down one shell
• If not sure... fit test BOTH shell sizes
• Put on a ski sock for gosh sake!
• Use and orthotic? Put it the boot (after taking out the standard footbed).
• Put foot in boot AND BUCKLE IT! You can not tell a boot fit without buckling it
• This will pull your heel back into the heel pocket, relieving cramped toe space
• Boots do pack out! A 'comfy' fit when new will mean slop later.
• Regardless, your toes should NOT be pressed against the end of the liner
• Get your Intuition liners molded! This provides THE BEST FIT available.
• Any minor pressure points or space will be eliminated by molding
• Find an experience SCARPA dealer for fitting/molding
• Boot fitting is an incredible service and generally requires a service fee of varying amounts... it's worth it though!
