Mammut Monolith GTX Boot - Men's
The Mammut Men’s Monolity GTX Boot is a tough yet flexible boot that can handle the punishing approach hike and go right into the technical pitches. The Gore-Tex membrane seals out moisture when you’re post-holing up a snow field, and the crampon-compatible Vibram sole is ready for everything from granite slabs to vertical ice. The Hybrid Shell gives you the perfect balance between support and flex, and the Internal Motion Control locks your foot in place on rough terrain.
Bottom Line: The Monolith stands alone as the perfect all-around mountain boot.

Hi. I'm looking for a boot to use for scottish winter use.
Hi. I'm looking for a boot to use for scottish winter use. I don't do any climbing at present but would like to have the option of doing a bit at some point.
My question pertains to crampon use with these boots - the Mammut site states they are compatible with strap on crampons. Given the obvious abscence of a toe welt full step ins are a no go, but I can't tell from the pics if the heel / sole unit would accept hybrid types such as Grivel new-matic bindings.
These boots look like an attractive alround mountain usage option, especially as my current B1 raichle boots fit well and the price point is appealing (and they're stocked by a shop I can wrangle a discount out of), however I'd rather avoid full strap-on crampons. Any experience / comments gratefully received.
Cheers,
Pete

These puppies work best with strapon's. Stepin's will work but not as good. Not as tight a fit. Air Tech's & G10's also work great. Best of all, they go well with a wee dram. Make sure you're prepared when in Scotland.

Does the removeable liner really make a difference in this boot, i see many more expensive and higher rated boots without a removeable liners?

What removable liner? I've only had these for a few months but I'm pretty sure there isn't a removable liner in them. Also, you can buy them for $180 on Amazon.com from Altrec. Save you $70.

Great Boots for the right foot type
By: Thomas Gibson
August 30, 2009
At first loved them and they are good but---not my foot. I have a very high arches, stiff ankle, little dorsal movement. Coming down steep slopes I could not lock the heels down, hence toes hit the front. I think that the material used to make the boot is too soft and moved with my foot vs locking it down. Never had this problem with the Makalu. Boot is stiff yet enough rocker that they were comfortable carrying 50+ Lbs for the 38 mile trip. Great 3-4 class climbing as they are nice and light weight. Too as someone else noted a little of the toe cap rubber came unglued. Not good as more may follow? Would I recommend these boots? Yes for some one with a flexible medium foot width and normal arch.

I changed out mine for a Superfeet insole. Not necessary but more comfortable on high alpine & mixed routes.

I'm looking for a dedicated winter mountaineering boot that will perform well in New England in the winter while climbing through the presidentials but would also be up for a early spring trip to Mount Rainier and the occasional vertical climbing. It seems like these might be more of a year round boot and not as focused on winter mountaineering. I was also looking at the Mammut Mamook, but that is kind of out of my price range. Will this boot fit my needs?
Thanks

If you're looking for DEDICATED winter boots, don't buy these. Buy a pair with a plastic shell (like a pair of Scarpas). These boots have Gore Tex but the leather on the outside soaks up melted snow all day and freezes to ice when you wake up in the morning. You also want a boot that's a bit warmer. These will keep your feet warm pretty well but will also keep you comfortable in 60 degree weather, they're made to be flexible. You might find a plastic boot with removable liners.

You're going to hate me for saying this, but you can't put a price on good footwear. Buy the boot thats fit not only your foot but your needs. It's not like you're spending money on something that will result in you being sedentary and getting fat. Boots are always worthwhile.

Sweet Mountaineering boot

Love the Monolith GTX. Made by Mammut but used to be Raichle. Super high quality and great fitting. Fits medium width and locker heel fit. LIke the lacing, supportive and you can easily isolate the upper part from the lower partfor a perfect feel hiking in these and allowing the ankle to flex without having your foot slip around in the lower boot. Pretty darn light also.

I have had a pair of asolo latitude boots for years and love em. Last trip out they started to separate at the sole..Iam having a hard time deciding on what to replace them with. I don't hike all that much but when I do I like to have a really good boot for volcanic rock and water. Thanks for your input. Steve

Is the sole on this boot the same as the one on the Mamook boot.

The Mamooks are a more rigid boot, better suited to vertical ice, rock or on trips where you are likely to have a crampon on nearly 100% of the time. The Monoliths on the other hand have a bit more flex and would be much more comfortable on the approach. Though the Monoliths offer more flex they still are stiff enough for crampon use.

Good Boot, But !!!!

At first I loved the boot, seemed to be just what I was looking for. Then I took them on a hike in Alaska's Brooks Range for about a week. The boot performed well, no complaints there but the rubber piece that wrapps the toe began to come unglued. It is streched tight enough that it did not peal back but began to collect dirt and debris. Just a matter of time before a sharp rock splits the rubber and the toe comes appart.
Recommended for moderate to light use, not hardcore sheep hunting.
is this the same as the Raichle all degree lite sl gore-tex mountaineering
is this the same as the Raichle all degree lite sl gore-tex mountaineering boot, just under the Mammut logo?

There are subtle differences, the main one being that the monoliths have upgraded technologies. Raichle just basically changed it's name to Mammut and improved a number of things when they went from the All Degree Sl to the Monolith.

These are insulated with GoreTex's Duratherm insulation/membrane/wicking liner. They don't really give them a tempurature but these are great for lower 48 mountaineering boot and also would be acceptible for winter day ice climbing. The insulation is equivalent to 200G Thinsulate.
