La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Tested in Afghanistan

Ranked #108 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
November 11, 2010
My unit used these boots in Afghanistan and they were "force multipliers". Regardless of your fitness, your body will give out eventually under extreme loads on rugged terrain. This boot forms the most stable and secure base for your body when fatigue sets in and your muscles can no longer stabilize your joints. Unfortunately, no American boot maker has come close to the craftsmanship and I HAVE spoken directly to the companies. La Sportiva Glaciers are the BEST Boot for the money on the market! No one comes even close.
