Kayland Apex XT Boot - Men's

From steep ice climbs to snowy summit ridges, the Kayland Men’s Apex XT Boot’s rigid platform and eVent waterproof breathable membrane give you full mountain performance without the weight of plastic-shell boots. Kayland’s Ankle Lock System secures your foot to eliminate heel lift and sprains, and the grippy Vibram sole adds premium traction on the approach or when you’re not wearing crampons. The rugged textile upper and sticky rubber rand hold up to prolonged mountain abuse.

Bottom Line: A tough, lightweight boot for ice climbing or spring mountaineering.

I really wanted to love them...

Ok, I have owned these boots for over a year now and they are, overall, a good boot. They were just not for me for two issues, which I will get to. Sizing was spot on for me (I am an 11, low to mid volume). Weight is very light, which is great. Every ounce you can get off your foot is like a pound off your back. Traction was good, but downhill breaking in mud suffered because the tread packed up. If no mud, then good breaking. Excellent lacing system. Very stiff and has remained stiff for crampons etc. But, and here it is, the E-vent lining for me did not breath well at all. I found that even in cooler temps (40's) my feet would get hot spots and would be soaked (even with liners on only). Also, the seem that runs directly down the back of the heel has caused blisters in a bad, bad way. Too bad, because I really wanted to love them...wound up buying La Sportiva's. Review to follow.

I know the apex trek and they are very similar...wouldn't mind wearing them down to -15C with good socks - the smartwool heavy cushion are alright for me but if you wish you can always go with the mountaineering one's
