SCARPA AT BEHIND THE PINES
Italian Mountain Heritage Meets Everyday Adventure
Technical footwear shaped by more than 85 years in the mountains, translated into comfortable, durable shoes for travel, daily wear and life beyond the city.
Introducing SCARPA At Behind The Pines
Some brands become popular because of clever marketing. Others build their reputation over decades by making products that simply perform, season after season. SCARPA belongs firmly in the second category.
Founded in the foothills of the Italian Dolomites in 1938, SCARPA has spent more than 85 years developing footwear for climbers, mountaineers, hikers and trail runners who rely on their gear in demanding environments.
Today, that same mountain expertise can be found in footwear designed just as much for everyday life as it is for the outdoors.
Why SCARPA Fits Behind The Pines
The combination of technical performance, timeless design and exceptional comfort is exactly why we are excited to welcome SCARPA to Behind The Pines.
Explore the complete SCARPA collection and discover the latest arrivals.
A Brand Built In The Mountains
Every brand has a story. SCARPA's starts in northern Italy, surrounded by some of Europe’s most iconic mountain ranges.
For decades, the company has worked closely with professional climbers, mountain guides and outdoor athletes to develop footwear that performs in real-world conditions.
That experience has shaped everything they make, from technical alpine boots to lightweight approach shoes and everyday sneakers.
Mountain Heritage
More than 85 years of experience developing footwear for climbing, hiking, mountaineering and technical outdoor use.
Everyday Relevance
That technical knowledge now appears in versatile footwear made for travel, city walking and daily wear.
At Behind The Pines, we always look for brands with genuine expertise rather than seasonal trends. Products should solve a problem, last for years and become better with use. SCARPA fits that philosophy perfectly.
Meet The Mojito
If there is one shoe that defines SCARPA, it is the Mojito.
Originally inspired by the brand's technical approach shoes, the Mojito combines climbing-inspired functionality with the comfort of an everyday sneaker.
It has become one of SCARPA’s most recognisable models and remains a favourite among travellers, creatives, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who spends long days on their feet.
The Distinctive Lacing System
Unlike most sneakers, the laces extend almost all the way to the toe, allowing you to fine-tune the fit in the same way you would with a climbing shoe.
Combined with a supportive EVA midsole and a durable Vibram outsole, the result is a sneaker that feels remarkably stable whether you are walking through Amsterdam, travelling abroad or exploring light hiking trails.
It is technical without looking technical. Exactly the kind of product we love.
Which Mojito Should You Choose?
Our first SCARPA collection features several colourways of the Mojito, each sharing the same comfortable fit and versatile design.
Mojito Black
The understated everyday option that pairs easily with almost anything.
Mojito Rose Dust
A softer colour palette with the same premium suede construction and familiar Mojito shape.
Mojito Sage
A subtle earth-toned version with an outdoor-inspired look that works naturally in everyday wardrobes.
Mojito Gore-Tex Dark Rock
A more weather-ready version for wet autumn days, commuting and year-round use.
You can browse the complete selection in our SCARPA collection.
The Mojito Gore-Tex
For wet autumn days and year-round commuting, the SCARPA Mojito Gore-Tex Dark Rock offers an additional layer of protection.
The waterproof GORE-TEX membrane is designed to help keep water out while still allowing heat and moisture to escape.
That makes the Gore-Tex version especially useful for changing weather, wet pavement, travel and everyday life in places like Amsterdam.
Same Mojito Character
The added weather protection does not change what makes the Mojito work: supportive cushioning, adjustable fit, durable grip and a silhouette that remains easy to wear.
More Than Just A Sneaker
Although many people discover SCARPA through the Mojito, the brand’s roots run much deeper.
Their decades of experience building climbing shoes, mountaineering boots and technical hiking footwear influence every lifestyle model they produce.
Better support, improved grip and long-lasting materials are not simply marketing features. They are the result of designing footwear for demanding environments first.
If your adventures regularly take you beyond the city, you can also explore our carefully selected collection of hiking shoes and premium shoes and sneakers.
Built To Be Worn
One of the things we appreciate most about SCARPA is that its footwear is designed to age well.
Premium suede, carefully selected materials and proven construction techniques mean these are not shoes you should need to replace after one season.
They develop character over time and are built to accompany you through years of daily wear, travel and outdoor adventures.
Fewer, Better Products
Rather than constantly buying something new, we would rather invest in products that continue to perform year after year.
It is better for the environment, better for your wardrobe and ultimately a much better experience.
Why SCARPA Belongs At Behind The Pines
At Behind The Pines, we do not select brands simply because they are fashionable.
We choose them because they have a clear identity, genuine expertise and products we genuinely enjoy wearing ourselves.
SCARPA embodies everything we look for in footwear: thoughtful design, technical heritage, outstanding comfort and understated style.
For Everyday Use
Comfort, grip and support for long days walking, commuting, travelling and moving through the city.
For Life Outside
Mountain-derived construction and reliable materials for light trails, changing weather and spontaneous outdoor use.
Whether you are looking for an everyday sneaker, a travel companion or a versatile shoe that bridges city life and the outdoors, the Mojito is an easy recommendation.
