Scott Supertrac RC trial running shoes

SCOTT Sports is a Swiss manufacturer that began as a pioneer in ski equipment before evolving into a global powerhouse for high-performance footwear, bicycles, and winter motorsports. The Supertrac RC, featured in the image, is a flagship model in their trail running lineup, specifically designed for technical terrain and competitive racing.

While the brand maintains its engineering and design roots in Switzerland, the production of its high-tech athletic footwear is primarily outsourced to specialized manufacturing centers in Southeast Asia, with Vietnam being the primary source for these specific performance models. The brand underwent a significant ownership shift in 2015 when the South Korean conglomerate Youngone Corporation increased its stake to become the majority owner, integrating Scott into its massive global sports manufacturing and distribution network.
