Scarpa Nitro Shoe - Men's
The Scarpa Nitro is a sleek and functional approach shoe for anyone who appreciates high quality construction and a flawless fit. The Nitro combines the dynamic Megabyte (Vibram) sole with a small rubberized toe rand to add protection and comfort on class 3 approaches and while rock scrambling.

Lightweight and flexible, the Nitro is an excellent shoe for the trails or the city streets.

Funky performer
I've got the old style Nitro, and I've had them for about 18 months now. I use them to go to work, but they look so damn good I wear them out to the pub...or hiking trails. The sole is brilliant for hiking, a lightweight, fully functional version of a full hiking sole. Not the best to run in though. The footbed is a little narrow, combined with lacing to the toe means wide feed will get cramped, at least until they're well worn in. The sole has some improvements over the old model, but I'm finding that it's separating from the upper. On the whole, a stylish shoe that is good for just about anything you want to do.
Scarpa Hikers? Need I say More?
Scarpa has been making kick ass climbing shoes for a long time now - you'd think they knew a thing or two about shoes, and approach shoes for that matter. The Nitros are a very light, very comfortable shoe, great for day hikes, approaches, and kickin' it in town. The heavy duty Vibram sole would defnitely rock anyone's world who felt like they needed to beat you down. Evertime I'm in the ghetto, I'm wearin' these suckers!
Great Shoe
I've had a pair for about 6 months and they are holding up to some serious abuse. They were comfortable out of the box. The sole has great shock absorption and also is a bit stiffer (more supportive) than most. The shoe vents well for my sweaty feet. I'll buy another pair.
Excellent shoe
Great ordering experience with backcountry.com. Shoes are great and even work with my wide feet (I had to order half size bigger)! Very comfortable!
Nitro Shoes Rule!!!!!
All I can say about this shoe is it is the best. I wear it everyday. I wear it to work. I wear it when walking or hiking. It is the most comfortable shoe and is supper supportive. For how much I have worn it there has been little wear. I only wear Scarpa tele boots and now I will only wear Scarp Shoes. It's a bit stiff for running but I will be using when doing some adventure type racing/training.

Training Tips
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
