La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Search and Rescue Standard

Ranked #6 - Rock Climbing Shoes

About 3/4 of my SAR team colleagues have these. They are light, comfortable hikers, yet have the support for moderate crampon work and high angled environs. The seem to excel on moderate rock and scrambling, making them an great boot for the mountain rescue application. The Trango S are not insulated, so extended periods in snow my result in cold feet. These boots are made with cutting edge design and materials for unparalleled weight and performance, making them a little vulnerable to wear and tear. If you are looking for more durability, I suggest the Glacier or Glacier Evo, but if you are looking for performance, look no further.
