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

Ranked #528 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
April 11, 2006
This is an outstanding boot. I go on week-long missions with a heavy pack (30-40 kilos) in a places where your boots simply cannot fail.
Snow, rock - LOTS of rock - at altitude, and great support. Through the years I have rolled my ankle several times and worry about that, but not with this boot.
Exceptional performance in true life-or-death situations. When I'm done here—I retire this year!—I'm ordering another pair for the adventure climbs back in Colorado that I am sooo looking forward to!
