Glacier WLF Mountaineering Boot

La Sportiva designed its Men's Glacier WLF Mountaineering Boot to stand up to light forest management work and post-fire cleanup. The eight-inch height meets US federal standards for wildland firefighters, the heat-resistant sole is resistant to 300C, and the glue is resistant to 70C. However, this boot is not for front-line wildfire work—wear it during backpacking trips and for forest management and fire cleanup. The leather upper blocks wetness without sacrificing breathability, and the MtnFlex insole and half steel shank provide comfortable flex and protection for alpine environments.

Great boots

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I bought these boots to replace an older pair of mountaineers that appeared to be roughly the same model as these. I hoped this ew model would be every bit as good as the last pair I had and they were. Right out of the box they came with me on a 10 mile hike. Not a single hotspot!. Worth every penny!!!

I bought these boots in 2017 to replace some expensive logger style firefighting boots thinking they would get me through a season and I could get the logging style boots custom made for me in 2018. I didn't buy boots for the 2018 season or the 2019 season. I have worn them all over the place WA, ID, OR, WY, NV and they rock. They are a bit warm but what is a toasty foot compared to a blistered one? For liability reasons (maybe) they say not to for front-line fire operations, I have used these in some serious heat, no problem just monitor what you stand in the best you can (you should do that with any boot). If you buy them play around with the adjustable tongue till they are comfy, also the way they tie causes your feet fall asleep if you aren't putting weight on them (standing). I have also backpacked and camped in these all four seasons. They also are great in the wet. I am writing this review after purchasing my second pair. I have worn them to work almost every day for three years, been in snow, been on rocks, been in fire (literally) and they have won me over.
