Scarpa boots enjoy high first quarter sales with UK hikers favouring Italian quality over home grown brands
In spite of a poor economic outlook and general belt tightening, when it comes to outdoor footwear UK walkers and hikers are choosing to invest heavily in their footwear as evidenced by high first quarter sales of Scarpa boots at outdoor performance footwear retailer Purekit.com. The Italian giants of hiking and walking boots have been a big hit with Purekit.com customers since their introduction, with “this year’s sales figures higher than ever” according to Purekit.com MD Richard Gundle .
The range of Scarpa boots stocked at Purekit.com has been expanded to 17 models due to the high demand from customers, with a further 6 models of trail shoes now featured in the collection. Scarpa boots have rapidly become one of the best selling brands at the online footwear store, outselling many of the traditionally popular walking boots as word has spread of the comfort and quality which Scarpa boots offer. Whilst many of the models are sold at the upper end of the price scale, customers do not seem to be deterred by the price tag and feel that the extra money is well spent. Scarpa have long been known for the quality of their footwear, not just in terms of the high quality of construction, but also the technical specification and the superior leathers used throughout the range, which ensure a long lifespan, exceptional comfort and unbeatable performance.
