Trango Alp Evo GTX Boot - Men's

The three-season La Sportiva Men's Trango Alp Evo GTX Boot is well-equipped to tackle your spring and summer alpine ascents with finesse. The Trango is made of a durable and water-resistant silicone injected leather to keep your feet protected from rolling approaches and rocky ascents. When you do come in contact with an icy couloir, the Gore-Tex Performance Comfort membrane will keep your feet dry while you kick in steps. The midsole of the boot is composed of a combination of PU and EVA foam. Stiff PU in the toe and heel gives the boot a stiff alpine feel, while cushioning EVA foam ensures a comfortable hiking experience once you're below treeline. La Sportiva went with a burly Vibram sole on this boot, which will excel whether you're climbing a rocky buttress or booting up a snowy couloir, and when that couloir turns into a sketchy sheet of blue ice, the Trango will accept either hybrid or strap-on crampons.
