Great boot. I wear a size 14 in Asics, Brooks, Vasque, Columbia etc so I bought the 47.5. Length was fine but the narrow width borders painful.
Funnily enough Backcountry first sent two left boots. They found the right boot and sent it my way a week later. Great customer service.

These are lighter than the Nepal Evo, so I'd suspect they would fall short. You may want to consider a double like the Spantiks.
Fit great for narrow feet

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have narrow feet (A) so I have a more difficult time finding a boot that fits well. I have been backpacking in the Adirondacks and Whites since 1980 so I have owned numerous boots and these are one of the best fitting boots I have owned. I love the 3/4 shank support while hiking. I use them all year round. In Winter I use them for day hikes only. They work great with a heavy sock and liner. They are also true to size. My foot size is 13 A. I bought size 13.5 (48) to accommodate thicker socks.
Two issues that I do have with this boot are:
1. I have a narrow heel so I get blisters with these boots. But, this happens with any pair of boots that I have owned so don't blame the boots.
2. I did a day hike up Mt. Jackson in the White Mountains this summer. When I finished the hike I noticed that each boot had a hole in the toe area of the rubber rand that is suppose to protect the boots from rocks. I've never seen this happen with any other boot I have owned. I returned them for a new pair without any questions.
I decided to go with this model again because of the overall fit and comfort.

Sam

Looking into buying a pair of boots than would be good for backpacking, approaches, and eventually some snow/ice so these seem to fit the bill pretty well. Basically, i need something stiffer than my Asolos, but not as stiff as my Nepal Evos. Would this be a good medium? Or are there other boots worth considering?
PS: Scarpas and other wider boots don't fit my foot well.
Micah L
Member since
Sam,
I don't know which Asolo boots you own, but these sound to be the boot you're looking for. The Trangos work well for mild-weather alpine climbs where you need the ankle support of a boot for either the approach or climb, but don't need the stiffness of a full-shank mountaineering boot. With these boots I can easily climb 5.8/AI3 and carry 60 lbs of gear to basecamp. They do have a sticky rubber bottom so if you were planning on using them as a backpacking boot they would get torn up quicker than say a pair of heavy full-grain leather boots, but these will climb technical terrain much better and be more nimble on the approach.

Would these boots or the La Sportiva Glacier be okay for single pitch ice climbing? Also I want something that can be used on approaches too.
Micah L
Member since
Dustynails,
The Glaciers and the Trangos do not have a toe welt, so you would need to use a pair of crampons with a plastic toe basket. This method is great for alpine climbing, though doesn't offer the precise fit/stiffness of a rigid set of crampons with a metal toe bar. Additionally, if you're looking to use these on waterfall ice in the winter you may end up with colder feet than you would like. The Trango S Evo is a great boot for more mild temperatures where you plan on long approaches and single day alpine climbs.
I would instead recommend the Trango Extreme Evos since they have more insulation and a toe welt to accomodate more aggressive crampons. Additonally, these boots will still hike very well as they have the same last and are comfortable enough for a lightweight winter backpacking trip. http://www.backcountry.com/la-sportiva-trango-extreme-evo-light-gtx-mens.

This shows the high snowpack we had in Northern Colorado summer 2011. This is mid summer and the snowpack was still high. Every slope and meadow was saturated and whole hillsides were flowing with water. The Trango's performed flawlessly, going from postholing bogs to river crossings on sketchy logs to rock scree slopes to 60 degree snow fields and finally to tundra. Dry feet after a full day of saturation. Really amazing boots. I am about to pick up my second set, as after 5 seasons, the bushwacking is starting to take its toll.

Hi, do these boots take Crampons with anti-balling plates
Dave Marcus
Member since
You really want the anti-balling plates, huh?
The boots are compatible with crampons - just not full auto models. Crampons either come with plates or are compatible with plates. Heck, you could even make your own out of milk jugs and zip ties! So, the answer is yes.

I bought these boots for a spring climb up Mt. Shasta in 2009. Right out of the box they were comfortable and plenty warm for 3-season climbing and hiking. My pair has seen me to the top of Mt. Shasta (twice), Mt. Whitney (twice), Mt. Dana, Mt. Lassen, South Sister, and dozens of lesser peaks and they are still going strong. They work well with crampons and won't teat your feet up. I can't recommend them enough.

jason spellman

They would work fine, but you would be crazy hot below the tree line. Save these for Alpine pursuits and look elsewhere for your backpacking adventures. These are overkill. I wear Merrell Perimeter GTX when it is too cold for vibram5fingers
Dylan ROgers
Member since
I have not found them hot. It depends on where you hike I suppose. I hike primarily in high forest and above timberline in Colorado and never had a problem. I mostly get off the trails wander the high country so I appreciate the all around competence.

Crampons?
What sort of 'pons do you guys recommend for the S Evo GTX boot?
Strap on or step in?
I currently have the G12 strap-ons, but it would be nice to use a step-in 'pon if possible?
Jeff Blackston
Member since
The G12 New Matic (with heel bail) is a great crampon for the Trango S Evo, and would provide a bit more stability over the G12 New Classic 'strap on' model that you currently have. Hope this helps you, Slick.
Tim
Member since
Jeff, thanks for the input-exactly what I needed to know.
syhan_66042069155

Does this boot works with G12 O-Matic
Micah L
Member since
Syhan,
These boots do not have a toe welt and are not fully rigid so they can take accept the Grivel Cramp-o-Matic style crampons with a metal toe bar. These boots do have a heel welt though and as Jeff states earlier, the New Matic style would work just fine. The La Sportiva Trango Extreme boots have a toe welt and are the next step up from these if you're looking to use the Grivel Cramp-o-Matic style.

I have an opportunity to pick up the Asolo Fugitive for 105$. I am planning a trip to Kilimanjaro in Sept as well as many practice hiking trips in the Northeast till then. I am torn between Trango which I was told below would be 'perfect' for Kili or the Fugitives that have amazing reviews and are 70% cheaper.

Hi - I own a pair of Nepal Evo Gtx boots...
Brian S.
Member since
Hi - I own a pair of Nepal Evo Gtx boots in a size 45. I usually wear a very thin Bridgedale liner sock and then a medium-weight Bridgedale wool sock in the Nepals.
My questions are: is sizing similar in these boots as compared to the Nepal Evos? And assuming I want to wear them for Spring, Summer and Fall activities, would you recommend a lighter wool sock? And if so, would that affect the size I would wear?
Thanks in advance. Hope my questions were not confusing.
Micah L
Member since
Brian,
These boots fit very comparably to the La Sportiva Nepals, so you should be fine selecting the same size boot. If you're used to wearing a liner with your boots I wouldn't recommend changing up that system as long as it's working for you. For warmer weather conditions, keep the liner and swap out the midweight wool sock for a lighter version, there should be minimal slippage in the boot from a size difference, though you can always take this space up if necessary with a pair of insoles such as SuperFeet.

These boots are perfect for Kilimanjaro. Other boots will either be too warm (insulated) or too heavy. These boots have a perfect mix for Kilimanjaro.

Winter Warm?
Yes, I know there is no insulation in these boots. I am beginning to build my gear set, and really dont think I need/want the Nepal EVO GTX boot at 500 bucks!
I live in Utah, along the Wasatch mountains and plan on doing winter trips, as well as spring, summer, and fall.
Now, to my question: If I wear to wear a good expedition type wool sock, at least, as well as another if needed, would these boots do well?
Thanks.
Ryan Hamilton
Member since
If you're going into the mountains, you want insulation. I also live along the wasatch front and can tell you that you'll want insulation if you'll be spending much time in the snow. These boots will keep your feet warm if you keep moving, but if your stop for any length of time cold toes are sure to follow. I also recommend thick smartwool socks. They cushion, keep feet warm and wick away sweat well.

Even with good wool socks? I have tried to find out more about the Nepal EVO GTX and what type of liner it uses for warmth.
Ryan Hamilton

You need a GOOD mountaineering boot, like the Nepal for even summer temps on Rainier. Storms can come up and it can get COLD. You will lose your toes.
snafflehound
Member since
I use the Nepal EVO GTX on Rainier (or ski boots if skiing) but have several friends who have summited Rainier with these. I tend to run cold. If you run hot (sleep hot, etc), you'll be fine in summer on something like the DC or Emmons routes. If doing Liberty Ridge or one of the ice faces, these aren't as stiff as what you would want.
