Are these boots suitable for rugged and lengthy day hiking with a light pack? I know they are made for mountaineering and alpine climbing, which I won't be doing much of if any at all. However, I have tried probably 50 different hiking/backpacking boots and nothing fits. My heels and feet are ridiculously narrow and low volume. I read that these boots are a great fit for narrow feet so I ordered a pair. Straight out of the box, I love the fit. But I am concerned they will be too much boot/too warm for long treks. Has anyone worn them just for hiking? If so, how did they do?

Pros: super lightweight, no break-in required, and I've never had a single blister.

Cons: A little too narrow for my "average" feet, not warm at all in any kind of snow conditions, (resulting in numb toes 9 out of 12 times I've climbed in them so far) the seam around the toe area has been peeling apart since the 3rd time I wore them, the laces come untied really easily, and I seem to always get some heel lift when plunge-stepping on the descent.

Overall they've gotten the job done, but I'll probably try another brand next time.

Can anyone give me some inside how the Trango compare to Scarpa Charmoz GTX boots? They seem to be very similar based on my research but I was wondering if anyone tried both.

I've tried both, and have the Scarpas. They are super similar boots in both materia and, now that the Sportivas are blue, looks. Pretty much the only difference is that the Scarpas have a wider footbed than the Sportivas. Other than that, it's slight color and material differences. Both are great companies, so if they fit, you're not going wrong with either.

I wore these on my winter trek to Everest Base Camp. They were surprisingly light and comfortable...they felt more like tennis shoes than boots. They gave great support through the ankle and arch. They were wonderful for the ascent, but really painful on the descent. My toes came out purple and my feet ached for about a month after. I would recommend taking something like an approach shoe to switch between. [FYI: this was a 15 day trek and I left before I had time to break them in, so all things considered, they were great!]

These boots have been surprisingly comfortable and light-weight on my feet. Feet have stayed warm and dry. I've worn them while hiking, mountaineering, snowshoeing, making snow angels, and airboarding / sledding. Good grip and traction.

I've worn them with Black Diamond Contact Strap Crampons. Great fit.

Comfortable fit

Pros: No break-in period needed and plenty of warmth for mountain hiking. My Ice cleats fit on perfectly so I am ready for winter.

Cons: You will need to scuff up the soles or you will be slipping on wet leaves and rocks in between the snow surfaces.

I wear a 7.5 US boot and the 39 EU fits perfectly with my winter socks. Nice amount of toe room and no heel rubbing. I usually wear a 38.5 so in my opinion they run a bit small so it you fall into one of these in-be-tween sizes think a size up. The support is amazing and as a Nature Photographer I am often focused on things other than the trail. HikeOurPlanet.com These offer the stability I demand.

Kudos to BackCountry.com for the quick product turn-around so I had the right size for my winter hiking season.

Happy New Year from the Trail!

I used these boots on a 12 day mountaineering adventure in the Cascades. It was mixed climbing both snow ice and rock. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit right out of the box. I have a very narrow heel and have difficulty blister issues in most shoes. I was however disappointed at how quickly these shoes got soaked. It felt like my feet were in a swimming pool from day one.

Can you tell me if the heel cup differs between the men's and women's versions of this boot? It seems that the heel cup for the women's version is either love it or hate it, no break in or blisters forever. I've experienced this with Asolo boots - 4 years of blister hell on the heels. Took these out for a test run and after about 3 miles started getting the heel inflamation. I'm trying to look for a solution because these are designed for exactly what I need, but the fit on the heel is a major concern. Hoping maybe the mens version might be a little different since I didnt see any reviews mentioning heel blisters... Thanks for any advice!

I am certainly no expert on these boots but I have read that the Women's version has a slightly smaller heel cup and overall smaller width than the Men's version. I can't remember where I read it so I can't post the link.

I need a vegan boot for climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, which has both terrain and temperature variations (forest to rock, warm to cold). Would this boot do well?

This is more geared to mountaineering, so they'd probably be uncomfortably warm in the warmer weather.

My wife and I both have these boots and you should be fine with them. They breathe really well and although they are geared toward mountaineering they are not insulated so your feet will not cook in the warmer zones.

I would check with guides and get their recommendation. These are very nice boots but do not feature much insulation and I would want something more. I would personally go with the Nepal and many opt for the double plastic.

My wife and I both have these boots and love them.

These boots are very comfortable and require little to no break-in period. I consider them a summer Alpine boot that is lightweight and I have never got a single blister while wearing them.

They are stiff enough for crampon use but I have also used them for hikers while carrying a heavy pack. These boots have performed regardless of the task. They are not insulated so they would not be the boot of choice for high elevations or extreme cold.

Would these boots work for ice climbing?...

Would these boots work for ice climbing? I've gotten a recommendation for the Nepal Evo, but if these work, I'd just assume spend less money. Any suggestions?

These boots shall work for ice climbing, if you are already an experienced ice climber. But if you are new to the sport, they are NOT the best boots for ice climbing. First, these boots are designed for three-season mountaineering/alpine use, so they are not very warm. You will be fine to use it in temperatures above 20F. Second, the boots do not have the toe welts that can accept the step-in crampons. Most of the crampons for ice climbing are "step-in" crampons. But if you are already an ice climber, this should not be a problem.

For ice climbing I would move up to the Nepals. These will work unless it is really cold but as Jane posted the Nepals will handle about anything.

These boots rock. But this is about sizing primarily- I normally wear a 8-8.5 us womens and I am comfortable in a 39 european, which is 7.5+ US. When in doubt, I would go smaller rather than larger for sure.

Normally 7.5 to 8 US and the size 39 fits perfect.

I am a size 6 women's, and the 37 fit very comfortably. My foot is pretty average (not too narrow).

I have to disagree with Suz on the sizing. I think they tend to run about a 1/2 size small. My wife normally wears a 7.5 or sometimes a 8 in US size and she is very comfortable in the 39.

Dan,

If you thinking of the Mens Trango S EVO GTX boots, then I think that they are closer to a narrow fit than a wide fit. I would not say they are really narrow though.

Hope that helps. I could measure them if you really would like.

Some people say La Sportiva run narrow; however, I don't think I agree. I do believe they run slightly small, though. I usually wear a normal men's US 8. My La Sportiva size is 42. (I have 3 pairs of La Sportiva boots, to include the model you're commenting on.) My feet aren't extremely wide, but they are still considered wide feet. By the way, the boot on this page is the woman's model. Anyways, hope this helps. I love this boot (men's version, of course) and can't say enough great things about it.

My wife has these and I have a pair of these in the Men's version. I think they tend to run on the narrow side as both of us have narrow feet and they fit perfectly.

I found this boot to be of average fit. Neither too narrow or too wide. My feet are pretty average - if anything, I have a narrow heel and slightly wide forefoot.

I have am a US size 6, and have the size 37. They are comfortable, with a little room for a thicker sock if needed.
