SCOTT Kinabalu 3 GTX Trail Running Shoe
The SCOTT Kinabalu 3 GTX is a versatile waterproof trail running shoe designed for runners who want dependable grip, cushioning and protection across changing weather and mixed terrain.
Built as the all-weather version of SCOTT’s popular Kinabalu 3, it combines a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membranewith responsive cushioning and a versatile trail outsole, making it a strong choice for year-round training, woodland trails, hard-packed tracks and longer off-road runs.
Waterproof GORE-TEX Protection
The Kinabalu 3 GTX uses a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane to help keep feet dry in wet and muddy conditions while maintaining a close, flexible fit.
This makes it particularly well suited to UK trail running, where wet grass, puddles, mud and changing weather can quickly become part of the run.
Dual Density Kinetic Foam
Underfoot, the shoe uses Dual Density Kinetic Foam to provide a balance of cushioning, support and responsiveness.
The dual-density construction is designed to help absorb impact while maintaining a lively feel, making the Kinabalu 3 GTX comfortable enough for longer runs without feeling overly soft or sluggish.
ER2 Evolved Rocker Technology
SCOTT’s ER2 Evolved Rocker Technology helps promote a smooth and efficient transition through each stride.
The rocker-shaped geometry encourages forward momentum, helping the shoe feel fluid across rolling trails, forest tracks and mixed surfaces.
Versatile Trail Grip
The outsole is designed to provide dependable traction across a broad range of trail conditions.
Rather than focusing solely on deep mud or hardpack, the Kinabalu 3 GTX aims to deliver balanced grip for everyday trail running, making it a useful option for runners who regularly encounter different surfaces on the same route.
Durable and Protective Upper
The upper combines a tough ripstop mesh construction with added protection around key areas of the shoe.
A reinforced toe section helps shield the foot from rocks, roots and trail debris, while the overall design remains lightweight enough for regular training use.
An Ortholite Ultra footbed adds extra step-in comfort and support for longer runs.
