Comments about La Sportiva Glacier Evo Mountaineering Boot - Men's:

I use this boot for firefighting with the US Forest Service. It stands up to some pretty harsh conditions. Refrains from "hotfoot" as well as whites does. Has more ankle support than most other firefighting boots. Great buy!

Comments about La Sportiva Glacier Evo Mountaineering Boot - Men's:

I had been looking at getting a new pair of the regular Glaciers based on past experience but decided to go for these because of the added GTX membrane. I have been using my Glacier EVO GTX's now since just before Christmas of 2005 and these boots are bomb proof. If you have owned a pair of Glacier's or Makalu's, you know what I am talking about - if you haven't, what are you waiting for?
These boots fit great right from the get go, which is crucial because these boots will not break into your feet... your feet will break into the boots, so make sure you get the right fit.

I wanted a heavy duty boot that would serve me well for backpacking, but that would also allow me to venture vertically on rock and ice and for the price I couldn't be happier. I don't expect these to wear out anytime soon, but when they do, I will be looking for the same boot again.
I have used them for everything from backcountry snow shoeing and backpacking to mild ice climbing and mountaineering and they have been great.

I highly recommend them to anyone who has superpowers or wants to feel like they do.
