Light, Nimble, Powerful
I spent the better part of the ice season on these wonderful boots. Would recommend 100% I have tried different boots including the P techs and I really love the fit and performance of these so much more! The Boa dials in fit, and they are stiff enough to tackle anything I can throw their way. Beautiful construction. I have used them on steep ice and mixed, in negatives to plus 40. I’ve done 2 hour approaches in them, and leave them loose and comfy for that. They feel like little Ferraris on your feet. Crampons- I had to add a few clicks on the tension bar as compared to the Nepal last. The fit- I’m a 46, narrow volume and wide toe. These boots are tailor made for my feets. Way better fit and walking AND climbing performance than the P techs in my opinion. I love these boots!! Spendy but very much worth it. They won’t let you down.
Good Boots, REI not Inclusive with sizing still
I was sized at the La Sportiva store for a 38 but REI doesn’t carry anything lower than a 38.5. Really too bad since most women require the smaller sizes. I shopped around at other local gear shops and the lowest they carry was a size 40! I bought the 38.5 and will try thicker socks and maybe inserts to see if I can make something work else I will have to buy the smaller size directly from La Sportiva. I thought REI had expanded their size range to be more inclusive but I keep running into this problem again and again.
G-tacular!
Super lightweight and super comfortable boots with a slim profile and awesome boa system that allows you to tweak the fit when you're ascending or descending. Works great with full auto crampons, and the built in gaiter is excellent. After years in big heavies (Eigers, Nepals), making the jump to these made me nervous, but it was well worth it. Just got back from climbing a well known Cascade volcano with a long approach and a long day of steep snow/ice/glacier travel, and my G-techs were the G-she-it!
Great boot!
Upgraded to these from my North Face Torre Eiger boots. Very happy. They are significantly more adjustable than my previous boots and much more comfortable and precise, and finally a boot that doesn't give me blisters. I should have spent the money on these from the beginning. Great climbing ice or drytooling and decent for approaches for this style boot. Warm enough for cascade climbing. Worth noting that this boot was also recommended to me by a lot of professionals at an Ice Climbing festival.
Uncomfortable, poorly designed boot
Easily the most uncomfortable climbing boot I've ever used - the boa doesn't allow for precise tightening, and creates serious blisters on both my heals and top of my foot (something I've never experienced before) on event the shortest of approaches. If you have a roadside ice line or are skiing into your destination, could be okay. Otherwise, any other option will be far better.
