      Comments about Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boots - Men's:

      I am using these boots for climbing with crampons in the Andes. The temperatures have not been below 10F so I have not put them to an extreme cold test. They have been warm, very stable with crampons, dry with regular gaiters and, for the most part, are comfortable out of the box. I have been getting unusual hot spots on my chins wearing these boots. I rented some Koflach Degree boots (also plastic) and did not have a similar problem so it appears to be the Scarpas rubbing my chins. Being plastic, they are not great for the hike to the glacier. Given the relatively mild temperatures here in Ecuador, I wish I had looked at some of the more flexible alternatives such as the La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot.

      Comments about Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boots - Men's:

      This is my only winter mountaineering boot. I'm not a vertical ice guy, but i have used it for every other kind of winter hiking, climbing, and mountaineering. mainly in the white mountains. They are excellent with crampons and snowshoes, fine for walking in a little snow. like all plastic mountaineering boots, they are heavy and clunky for walking on dry ground. these are warm boots (comes with an insulated/high altitude inner liner as standard equipment now) - i have worn them to -25 fahrenheit, and my toes were fine with two pair of wool socks. they have worn well despite the proximity to steel spikes, ice axes, ski poles, and so on. make sure to try them on well in advance of any excursion so the size is correct, as they may be UK-sized rather than US. leave extra space for very cold weather. worth a test hike; some people find these boots very uncomfortable on their shins, though i haven't had that issue.

        Comments about Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boots - Men's:

        These boots did not do noticeable damage to my shins or toes on Rainier. You must get it sized right by someone who knows their stuff (about 2 fingers behind your heel w/o sock) or your toes will hurt. I also used expedition wool socks and I've never gotten a blister. My feet are not that tough so this is saying something. These are great for December climbs of 14ers in Colorado. I have used chemical toe warmers and it works great for the cold mornings. Even w/o the warmers my toes don't get too cold but I get cold toes very easy. Overall this boot is very good and simple. I will be buying the high altitude liners and overboots for McKinley. It is more versatile than a single boot and cheaper than buying the second pair of boots.

          Comments about Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boots - Men's:

          Climbed Mt Rainier with these boots and came back with 2 black big toes nails due to toe bang. Another friend couldn't climb due to shin bang. At base camp half the climbers wearing these boots had experienced similar issues. I spoke to a number of guides and they said that although they are durable they destroy the feet of a lot of people that wear them compared to other boots. In the end, if you want to make it to the top or walk when you get down, find another boot. Cheers.

            I've used several pair of climbing boots and these are the most comfy. Very warm and very much worth the money. No complaints.
