Nordic Walking Nordic walking evolved from an off-season training element for skiers, known as ski walking, hill bounding or ski striding to become a way of exercising all year-round. Nordic walking has also become very popular with non-skiers too as a great way of exercising the whole body whilst walking. Walking poles and trekking poles have made it better for day walkers and backpackers by spreading some of the weight of their packs on their arms, and reduce the stress to their knees and backs.

Nubuck Leather - Scarpa A full grain leather where the outer surface has a finely sanded, texturised finish, which gives the walking boot an added appeal. Scarpa Nubuck leathers are treated with HS12 to ensure best performance for those walkers and ramblers looking for an additional protective layer for their walking boots. This leather should not be confused with suede or reversed leathers.

Neoprene A tough material with inherent elasticity used across a variety of walking and outdoor equipment.
