How does this boot compare to the Scarpa Triolet GTX? I'm looking for something I can use mostly for ice climbing, but likely some alpine climbing as well and am wondering which boot would be better suited.

Freeney is going to suit ice much better. The Triolet is on the soft side. Great for mountaineering and alping climbing but not so for the vert ice. You'd be better off with the Freeney's.

ok on vertical ice and for me...horrible to hike in. I am quite frustrated with ice/alipine climbing boots - maybe God designed me wrong, but I can't find anything that works. I've gone through a pair or Scarpa Freneys and invernos, La sportivas, and Asolos. The asolos were 25 bucks on ebay and worked the best for everything, wish I wouldn't have given into the desire to have a lighter, more name brand boot thinking I would be more comfortable. The freneys are light which is nice. I did an easy 7 mile hike in them and about died - super uncomfortable and would not recommend hiking a log distance in them unless you have put a couple miles on them around your local area to test. Climbing ice is ok, but the top of the toe offers little protection so its easy to bash your toes up. Open to recommendations, it seems like you need two pairs of boots, one for vertical ice and one that is flexible and good for glacial travel.

So here is the weight difference between the Kayland M11+ and

So here is the weight difference between the Kayland M11+ and the Scarpa Freney. Is the 3 lb. weight difference due to insulation and is the Freney more of a 4 season boot? Can anyone offer some input on the comparison between the two boots? I'm looking for a vertical ice, year round, mixed mountaineering boot. La Sportiva lasts don't fit my medium wide foot, so the nepal is out.Kayland: Weight: [Pair] 1lb 15oz (890g)Scarpa: Weight: [Pair, size 9] 4lb (1850g)

Hi Scott, I have a pair of these and spent last three seasons in them, single or two pitch ice and mixed climbing (in NE). Freney is very light and super stiff. Only shoes lighter would be fruit boots

I purchased these boots last year for a trip up Mt. Shasta.

I purchased these boots last year for a trip up Mt. Shasta. I put about 40 miles on them beforehand and on the Shasta approach they were still VERY stiff and not too comfortable (walking on a rocky trail). Is this the right boot for summer snow travel on mountains like Shasta and Rainier? I am not doing any vertical ice climbing, but want a good crampon compatible boot for long approaches and snow/glacier travel. Please let me know if its the wrong boot or whether I need to break it in more. Thanks

I personally don't think it's so much of a break-in process but more just how the boots wear. You might check out the La Sportiva Nepal Evo's. They're a warmer boot for climbs like Rainier and will handle anything you throw their way.

Daniel,These Scarpa's are pretty flat on the bottom and have almost no rocker in the front of the shoe. Like most modern mountaineering boots they now have more of an anatomical fit. I have never used Foot Fangs, but imagine it will feel unnatural when walking. Take a look at some of the modern crampons on the market right now. They will be more secure and fit much better. If you are going to make the investment in a nice boot you should definitely have the crampons to match. What are you going to be doing in these?Mahalo, Sumo

If you don't dare, you are a silly fool who isn't doing such magnificent boots justice. That's exactly what they're for. Godspeed.

How does this compare to the La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX? I want the better boot for durability and for a solid Ice climbing boot?

In my opinion it's not even close. The sole is very similar in durability but the rest of the boot isn't. The entire lacing system seems to break down faster on this boot. Personally I think everything about the Nepal Evo is just a lot better than this, especially for ice climbing. If you talk to the folks at Sportiva they tell you that they designed the Nepal Evo specifically for ice climbing. Check 'em out for sure.Hope that helps.

Now I got mine and agree - half a size bigger is good. I wear street 10 US and wear 43.5 in the Freney. I could get away with 43 as well though.They tend to run slightly smaller so I suggest ordering a half size larger due to thicker socks & sock liners.
