Description

A smart choice for serious climbers.

Footwear can mean the difference between success and failure in the mountains, so count on the La Sportiva Trango Extreme EVO Light GTX Boots for fast-and-light alpine climbs and massive ice lines. The Gore-Tex Duratherm lining ensures warm and dry feet even when you're sending a dripping ice pitch. La Sportiva used a combination of Cordura uppers and Vibram rubber rands to make these boots tough enough for life in the alpine realm, and the narrow-profile, crampon-compatible Vibram soles give you stability on and off the ice.

I wore my new Trango Extreme EVO light GT's two days working around my property and was worried they were not broke in enough for my next big trip. I was wrong. I climbed Mt Whitney, Mt Shasta, Mt Hood, and Mt Rainer in a 2 week period and they have worked great. I encountered extreme heat on Whitney (88 degrees) and had no problems. Then on Mt Shasta we had 70 to 80 mph winds and a chill factor down to 0 degrees and my feet never got cold. They work great in the snow, with crampons, on snowshoes, in loose rock and just about everything a person could throw at them. Great boot.

i've used these for the past year, spring in the sierra nevada, early winter in mexico on a pair of volcanoes. they're are probably more durable boots out there but the warmth to weight ratio of these is unparalleled. cold feet have never been an issue. designed for technical jaunts at which they excel, but have also survived the miles of hiking i've put on them as well.

How do this Trango Extreme Evo compare with the Nepal Evo GTX?

They are quite different boots. The Nepal is an incredibly warm comfortable boot for general winter mountaineering that in my opinion (and use) excel at long high altitude climbs. Super rigid but just enough flex in the ankle. The Trango Evo Extremes are much like the other models. Light weight mix climbing boots capable of tackling almost any terrain in early winters and late springs. For longer colder climbs Id pick the Nepal over these but on shorter technical routes these rule! Size up a half size as the heels fit real snug. cheers.

Bought these last winter to use for some casual ice climbing and mountaineering. They've been good to me so far. Didn't feel like it took a particularly long time to break them in. Surprisingly cozy, in my opinion, for a mountaineering boot. My feet sweat a lot but haven't had too much trouble with these so far.

I'm usually a size 10.5, depending on the shoe. My left foot is about 1/2 a size longer than my right and I've found with La Sportiva's it's always good to size up a half to a full size. I went for a size 45 on these and they work like a glove.

Also, if you're looking for style points, I've gotten lots of comments on these from my more seasoned ice climbing buddies.

I'll be doing field work on rugged terrain and alpine rock climbing in the Bugaboos, Cascades, and Rockies this summer. Are these boots too stiff to be used for both every day field work, approaches, and climbing?

i climb year-around in these boots in Cascades, and they rock. given the length of the approaches, i wouldn't go for a stiffer boot - too much suffering. for climbing, i'd say this is the one.
for work, they'd probably feel great on your feet, but they aren't that stiff. work use will probably depend on how much you're planning to abuse them and drop stuff on them.

Sad to say - you really need to try these on in a store. Took me a couple times to get the size right. I'm a 9.5 and am happy with the 43 and thick socks. These boots climb amazingly well. Great for vertical ice and rock. However, mine seem to leak a lot. 4 stars because I had to seam-seal the boots and keep up a schedule of a Nikwax spray down. Also, these boots wear quickly. However, the performance of these boots is worth the wear and tear. They are not a winter expedition boot. If it's a weekend's worth of climbing in cold conditions - this is your boot. Also - the interface between this boot and the new Petzl Lynx crampons is amazing. The best fit I've ever had between any boots and crampons.

Quick question. I am trying to climb Rainier and the Grand Teton this summer and am trying to figure out which boot would excel at both types of these climbs. I realize they are two different types of climbing, glacier and alpine rock, but what one boot would you suggest for this? I'm looking at these Trango Extreme's as well as the Salewa Raven Combi's.

Drew, I would want more boot than this for Rainier but everyone is different. Give this link a try:

I can't comment on the Salewa's but I used the Trangos to climb Rainier 2 summers ago and loved them. My feet didn't get cold and they were so much lighter and more comfortable than a double boot. I live in Alaska now and have used these in temps lower than you will find on Rainier in the summer. They are also great for ice climbing. Everyone is different but I think these boots are great.

I usually wear 42 in city shoes (8UK). What size should I take for this boots?

Jeff Chrisler

Member since 
Responded on

I'd probably go with around a 42, perhaps a 42.5 (which I see they don't have) as you probably want to have enough room for heavier socks. I'd seriously try on a few pairs before snagging these though.

So I have owned the red Trango S Evos for a few years and could not be happier. I want to move to the extremes for the full shank and automatic crampon compatibility. Does anyone know if the width is about the same on the two? The S Evos are about as narrow as I can go.

Trever, the width is almost identical.

These boots are great! They're warm, light, and provide a great feel while climbing. Ankle articulation is awesome allowing backstepping, stemming, and other tomfoolery while climbing. I would recommend these to any alpinist whether they be a weekend warrior climbing waterfalls to a serious peak bagger.

How warm are these for Winter trips, such as Rainier? I live in Utah along the Wasatch mountains and play in the snow. How do they compare to the Nepal EVO GTX in terms of warmth? I am not a hardcore mountaineer, so the price on these are a little more appealing then the Nepal's.

Greg G

Trevor - The Nepal is a slightly warmer boot, and also provides a bit more ankle support. The Trango Extreme will provide warmth when you're in motion during extremely cold days, but if you are stagnant at camp your feet will probably feel a bit chilly. In this case bring along a pair of compressible down booties like http://www.backcountry.com/western-mountaineering-down-bootie-unisex for hanging around camp. Overall I would recommend the Nepal's as a mountaineering boot as the Trango Extreme's are more of a waterfall climbing or warmer temperature boot.

Totally agree with Greg. The Nepals are warmer than this boot but still not enough for Rainier in the winter IMO unless you are just playing in the snow. If you go to much elevation I would look for a warmer boot.

It would be possible to use these in the winter but they don't have much insulation so you're feel will be cold. They can accept step in crampons though.

Never having owned a pair of mountaineering boots I didn't know what to expect. I picked up a pair of La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX boots this past summer, but unfortunately they were a size to small so I never got to utilize them in their element. After some more research I decided on the 'Silver Bullets', and couldn't be more excited. They have a tad bit more rocker than the red Trango S Evo, and a full shank which makes them an ice climbing monster. I sized up a half size from my traditional street shoe size of 10 (42) to a 42.5 euro. I'm glad I did as these run a little narrow so my fit is perfect now. The break in period on these babies is about 4-5 days worth of hiking, climbing, and hanging out. Overall I'm very impressed with their warmth, water proofness, and fit.

I will be climbing in the Swiss Alps next summer; looking for a boot versatile enough for the Eiger, Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc... I know my double plastic doesn't fit the bill. Is this boot the best choice for this trio in late June / early July?

I would fully recommend this boot Ross. I plan on using mine in the Tetons in similar conditions. Stoked!
