La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Men's description If you've ever hunched over a map you couldn't quite trust or wondered if there might be some gnarly ice blocking your route, these are the boots for you. The La Sportiva Glacier Men's Mountaineering Boot is a heavy duty boot that can handle any terrain you might encounter in a week on the mountain. If the trail leads over a snowfield or onto a glacier you can slap on crampons and travel with confidence. The Glacier will even handle light mountaineering and it climbs alpine ice comfortably. With a little more flex and rocker than other heavy duty boots, it's more comfortable on long hikes with heavy loads. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY. |
These boots were made for walkin...
Michael Heitland: 
I used these boots on a climb of Mt. Shasta in May, 2006. They held up well and my feet were warm with a pair of liner socks and Thorlos Mountaineering socks (pretty thick wool). The boots have a good amount of flex due to the half shank. They fit my foot well (I am an average to wide) and gave me no hot spots or blisters. I treated the boots with some Nikwax before running through the slush and wore them around town for a week or so to break them in. I am pretty pleased with the Glaciers as hiking/light mountaineering boots.

Dano22: 
in the past few years i have seen a huge increase of wildland fire fighters using these boots. why you may ask? well.. they are far more comfortable than a leather boot, they are about 1/2 the price of a danner or pair of whites and they are lighter! plus you dont roll your ankles in these compaired to a normal leather boot. only problem i have seen is the rubber toe begins to come off if you stand in hot ash. other than that excellent boot. i think on my next pair i am going to have that part professionally stitched down. ill rate it an B+
Not for hiking, more for Mountaineering
shaverco100140114: 
I tried to break these boots in for two days with no luck. Just too stiff and probably too much boot for what I was looking for (i.e. hut tours, approaches with skis on my back). The tongue insert is also a bit unusual and I couldn't get it to fit right. But, feet are unique and it just could be this particular boot wasn't a good fit for me. All the other reviews seem very positive so keep that in mind. Returning them was a snap!
