Designed for pushing further, the Scarpa Spin Planet is the eco-cousin of the Spin Infinity, both of which are made with considerable midsole cushioning to absorb impact and provide comfort over ultra distances.
For everyday trail running they're a versatile pair, but they really come into their element on long runs, thanks to their sustained comfort.
The 100% recycled upper performs as well as any virgin material and appears just as durable, if not more.
A change of season from summer to autumn meant these shoes were tested on hot summer days and during heavy downpours.
Run length varied between 5km to 30km, and they were worn during a stormy 10km trail race across muddy fields and along country lanes.
They were mostly worn on footpaths across the rolling English countryside for up to 150 minutes.
No blisters formed during the test, but I do have concerns that on ultra distances these might not be the best fit for my wider feet. Still, they're an excellent pair of women's trail running shoes.
Having previously tested the Spin Infinity I found blisters emerged around the three-hour mark.
While some brands boast of their 100% recycled laces or tongues, Scarpa has leap-frogged their innovations by creating a completely recycled upper.
All the yarns and microfibres used in the EXO upper construction system are entirely made from recycled materials without compromising on design or comfort.
