Legit or not? scarpaskiboots.com

Anyone successfully purchase shoes from scarpaskiboots.com?  Their prices seem a bit too good to be true and I'm hesitant to spring for what might be a good deal without some positive assurances from the community.  Thanks folks!

Their registration seems to be hidden: https://www.whois.com/whois/scarpaskiboots.com

To me this sends up red flags but then again it might be because of the new EU privacy rules. That said, there are zero contact details. As such, I would send Scarpa an email asking them.

No HTTPS, ski boots not offered in mondo sizes, seems sketchy.

Look at their review on google of the domain owner 1API GmbH.

I stopped by yesterday and talked with the folks at Scarpa.  That site is definitely a scam: they will take your money but you will never see product.  Shutting them down is apparently like a game of whack-a-mole.  Thanks all!

Do not trust. More than a year ago I ordered three pairs of climbing shoes from scarpaskiboots.com (order # lxd_24534-82) and I have not received what I paid for.
They appear to be dishonest.

First, I was sent the wrong type and size of shoes, and then they claimed to have sent the correct ones but used the wrong address (oops?)

I have emailed dozens of times over the past year and no one has resolved the issue nor refunded me my money.

Gauran-fucking-tee they are not legit as that main image is an OLD North Face approach shoe. + all the other red flags.

Also Wayne, you probably want to cancel that CC you used. Would put money on that info being sold on the dark web. It's probably too far since the original purchase but always contact your CC company about that sort of thing to get your $ back.
