The first thing I would mention is sizing. Ordinarily I would expect to size up with a running shoe, maybe by half a size to a size depending on the shoe. With the Ribelle Run I would warn against going overboard, as it feels quite generous in terms of both its sizing and its fit, and it's probably worth going with your standard street shoe size at least to begin with, then go up (or potentially even down) from there.

Scarpa’s ‘Ribelle’ is a range of footwear that is designed for the most technical mountain conditions. The Ribelle Run is the running shoe within that range and has been designed for fast running over technical terrain. In my opinion I found them to be a very versatile trail running shoe. They are not just a ‘race shoe’ and are comfortable to wear on a variety of terrains and distances. Marco De Gasperi was previously sponsored by Scott and Hoka. You can see in the range of shoes he has helped design an influence from both brands. This is nothing new as both Scott and Hoka have had a lot of success in the trail running market and for that reason a lot of brands are influenced by these brands.

They roll naturally and are plush enough to push the mileage. The gaiters are not restricting in the slightest.

Juggernaut” (SCARPA’s term) is an appropriate word to describe the Ribelle Run Kalibra G. It’s a burly shoe that’s hungry for challenging terrain. SCARPA’s designers were clearly inspired by mountaineering footwear like their Ribelle Tech 2.0 and Phantom series. The two shoes have an entirely different character on the trail. The Cyklon Cross felt more like a traditional running shoe. It has a more flexible and softer midsole that lent itself to longer runs. The SCARPA Ribelle Run Kalibra was burlier, stiffer, and offered more support in technical conditions.

Fit: The shoe is built to wrap the foot with precision thanks to it’s reduced volume fit, perfect for this more technically oriented shoe. The heel is stabilized by an EVA band that completely wraps the shoe.

Both Mary and Bergen tested these shoes all over in the Colorado snow, both on maintained trails and off-trail. Wearing these comfortable, secure shoes before they needed to strap on skis or crampons was huge.

It took me some time to figure out exactly what was the source of the issue with the Ribelle Run’s ride, and after over 100+ miles, I think I’ve gathered enough anecdotal evidence to speculate. The problem starts with the stiffness of the midsole; instead of delivering high amounts of energy return, the EVA feels both inflexible and unresponsive. I think swapping out the existing midsole with one that is lighter and more cushioned would benefit future iterations of the model, which is otherwise tremendously well made, in my opinion. The Ortholite insoles Scarpa uses do add some plushness to the overall feel of the shoe, but not enough to offset the harshness I felt from its otherwise rigid platform. Technical trail shoes do generally need to be built studier than models intended for general use, but I think the Ribelle Run would be just fine without Scarpa’s “Dynamic Stabilizer Torsion” frame as well. The DST frame is included in the shoe’s midsole and wraps under the arch before extending along both sides of the heel for added stability and torsion control, but in my experience, it interfered with my natural footstrike by being too restrictive. Mary didn’t experience any wet feet during her testing of the SCARPA Kalibra G, either. So, while the holes under the BOA knobs look like exposed openings in the gaiters, they seem to seal up just fine during use. On the Trail, in the Snow Our female tester running through deeper snow; (photo/Katherine Murphy) You've got to assume the GTX version weighs at least a little more than the unlined original, but I can't offer you direct comparison since Scrapa's weight figures online refer to different sizes. For the waterproof shoe they say 520g for a pair of size 38 (presumably this is the women's version since men's starts at 40 in the UK), while my much larger pair of size 47 weigh considerably more at 764g. Still I'd consider this midweight for a shoe, certainly not outrageous for a long day on your feet given the cushioning and support on offer (to say nothing of the waterproof membrane).

The other advantage with the speed lace is that they don’t get untied by the undergrowth as you run or go crusty when mud gets dried into the lace.
