La Sportiva Spantik Mountaineering Boot - Men's
LIGHT AND WARM DOUBLE BOOT!
By Stephen Koch
Ranked #26 - Men's Mountaineering Boots
October 17, 2008
The Spantiks are exceptionally warm, very light and climb technical terrain well. They have enough ankle mobility to climb great on mixed terrain and steep ice. I climbed the Andromeda Strain last March and my feet were warm all day! The inner boot lacing system is different but once I got used to it (2nd time out) I loved it. The inner boot is easy to remove and has rubber on the bottom for walking around. These would be a great boot for Denali type climbs, but I would bring an overboot, just to be safe.
