La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Women's

La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Women'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 Mountaineering Boot for Women is a heavy duty boot that makes heavy duty loads feel light. With a little more flex and rocker than other burly boots, it's more comfortable on long hikes when you have to carry a lot of gear. They 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 do light mountaineering and it climbs alpine ice comfortably. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY.

Bottom Line: If you want a burly boot for big loads and might have to scramble across some snowfields you just found it.

Brand new and into the backcountry in the Canadian Rockies for three days of hard core mountaineering. These boots performed like stars for me as we did glacier travel and an apline mountaineering route to summit the Vice-President in Little Yoho Valley in Banff National Park. Fabulous! Thanks for the great on-line advice as well when I was purchasing as I was able to pick the right size once I realized these ran a bit big. I ended up being a whole size smaller than normal. Roomy toe box was perfect for my D width foot! Happy Camper in the Canadian Rockies!

Ok. These boots rock! They do it all and look good too! Truly a GREAT bargain!
