Product Details
Description:
Made for several terrains, the Glacier Boot from La Sportiva is designed with newmatic crampon compatibility and will certainly propel you over all sorts of rocky trails on your way to the snow and ice.

Features:

  • A stiff leather upper makes them supportive enough for packs crammed with climbing gear, yet a sweet flexing Vibram Ice-New sole keeps them plenty comfortable
  • An ideal backpacking boot that’s slightly more versatile than its cousin the Makalu
  • Keep your feet dry and cool thanks to the patented multi-zone Dri-Lex lining system which transports moisture away from the skin via an exclusive under layer of 100% Hydrofil nylon
  • Support provided by an 8 mm Mountainflex insole with 1/2 length steel shank

Specifications:

  • Weight per pair: 4 lb 4 oz
  • Upper: split-grain leather
  • Midsole: polyurethane
  • Outsole: Vibram rubber

Comments about La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot:

I used these in the Alaskan Talkeetna range sheep hunting with three days of break in prior to hunt. 90 miles of hard mountain hiking over primarily large shale for 8 days with heavy loads and no blisters. The flex at ankle in these boots is low. When tightened they are similar to a hard shell. They're tough boots.

Comments about La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot:

I bought this pair to use for wildland fire/helicopter ops. I have only worn them on some hikes to try them out for the upcoming wildland fire reason, but I am very impressed with the comfort right from the get go!

Comments about La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot:

Used these boots for 15 months in Afghanistan.
Heavy loads, multi-week operational movement over 'challenging' terrain & conditions and the absolute demand to perform were my basic requirements.
This boot fullfilled all of them - and more!
From waist deep snows at 18,000ft in the Tora-Bora range to 142f temps in Helmond Provice these boots never let me down - and when you trust your life to a pair of boots that means something to me.
Very impressed with the wide range of crampons that this boot accepts. From the latest and greatest available to Special Ops/Mountain Units to simple iron and leather from the Gurkhas this boot takes them all - and well too!
On several occations in bad places on fairly high angle terrain/rock with a heavy ruck these boots saved my life...GREAT boot...you can trust your life to it.
I did!
