La Sportiva Glacier EVO Mountaineering Boot - Men's
A dream once they are broken in

First time with a pair of La Sportiva's. I wear a size 13 shoe and ordered the 13 boot. Fits great to start but after my feet heat up and swell it can get a little tight in the toes, especially when descending. Took about 30 miles to truly break them in and work out all of the hot spots that I was getting, but they're great now. These boots offer amazing support and traction. I have yet to use them with crampons/glacier travel, but am looking forward to it this summer.
Overall pretty impressed with the all around package.
