You should now be able to see approximately 2 cm (about an index fingers width) of the footbed poking out in front of your toes. The tongue is attached with a short mesh webbing on its lower section but is essentially loose at the top. It has air holes for breathability but it's worth noting that a full dousing in shallow water could flood in through the tongue and lace area.

Now that your boots are done up properly stand up on your tiptoes and walk on the spot on the balls of your feet as if you are walking up a steep hill. If your heels lift more than approximately 5mm from the footbed you may need to pull the laces tighter, or the boots may just be the wrong shape for you. Minimalism meets reality in SCARPA's trail running family. Born and bred in the Dolomites of Italy, these shoes deliver what we consider “functional minimalism”. Minimal uppers combine with the appropriate level of traction, support and cushioning underneath to deliver the perfect balance between weight and performance. Speed through rugged terrain with confidence – these shoes have everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The upper is predominantly suede with TPU protection on the toe and heel cup. Compared to many approach shoes, which can be built like armored cars for your feet, these are pretty light in terms of protection. This goes with the general lightweight nature of the shoe. The suede offers a decent level of water resistance and you can certainly splash around in puddles on paths, however they are not going to keep out full dousing in prolonged wet weather or bogs.NOTE: The above table is only a guide. Manufactures don’t like tomake it easy as every single oneof them strays from the measurements above. Although Scarpa approach and hiking shoes are as burly as the mountains they're intended to climb the Highballs sport a much sleeker and thankfully lighter design. In the world of Italian outdoor shoes sleek equals narrow and you'd be hard pushed to describe these as anything else. If your feet fit the mould then you'll find the Highballs immediately comfortable, with a just soft enough footbed, supple upper and comfortable sole unit. Despite all this the shoe still feels capable - you could happily go for a hike in the Highballs, and we're not talking about your local canal towpath either. With an EVA wedge and underfoot grip provided by a technical Vibram sole you can enjoy a cushioned feel underfoot. 15% Off Promotion If you can see this amount of space then you are pretty much on the way to making sure that your boots are the correct size. This space between your toes and the end of the footbed ensures that you will not stub your toes on the inside of the boot when you descend. This can be excruciatingly painful. If you can’t see this amount of space then it’s a good bet that the boots will be too small. However, even after the most rigorous assessment and testing, there is no better way to be absolutely sure than to have the boots on your feet for an extended period of time. We therefore offer our Home Trial Period which gives you the opportunity to wear the boots around your house to give you an indication of how they feel before you venture outside. We recommend that during the Home Trial Period that you wear the boots for as long as possible and at different times of the day, wear them up and down stairs, when moving around and when resting, you can even sleep in them if you want.

In approach shoes, you spend more time walking than actually climbing, and the relatively low profile of the tread does make for less grip on grassy and muddy terrain. Few approach shoes have a heel brake, and these are no exception, so slippery grass descents could be an issue. That said, I didn't experience any noticeably increased slipperiness compared to other approach shoes with a higher profile tread, although overall we'd say a deeper tread would be better for longer walks on muddy terrain. In our Hereford shop we offer a professional boot fitting service where we assess your feet, find a selection of boots that match you foot shape and most importantly we make sure that they are comfortable.This iseasy to do in the shop, where we have access tothe right tools, the option of letting you try on as many styles as you like and a knowledgeable member of staff that cancommunicate directly with you regarding your needs.

The upper is softer and thinner than some other more robust approach shoes, which helps in wearing them in. A good deep lacing up to the toe allows for customising the foot width.
