how do these compare to the Trango S EVO boots? stats read that they are lighter. Do they still have full shank? lace lock off? lateral ankle immobilization?

they are not lighter...just a very slight amount heavier but not noticable...maybe an ounce per boot? they are the same boot as the Trango S EVO's but have an entire leather upper versus the synthetic (thats where the bit of extra weight comes in)...other than that the contruction is the same...same design just a bit beefier and more durableAbove is true but real difference is the stiffness Trango S evo have a 3/4 rigid sole and the GTX are fully rigid. ie better for steeper climbing ice/rockThe nylon shank provides good stiffness but not like steel. Good crampon boot however.
