La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Brand : La SportivaItem : LSP0019
If you've ever hunched over a map you couldn't quite trust or wondered if there might be some gnarly ice blocking your route, these are the boots for you. The La Sportiva Glacier Men's Mountaineering Boot is a heavy duty boot that can handle any terrain you might encounter in a week on the mountain. If the trail leads over a snowfield or onto a glacier you can slap on crampons and travel with confidence. The Glacier will even handle light mountaineering and it climbs alpine ice comfortably. With a little more flex and rocker than other heavy duty boots, it's more comfortable on long hikes with heavy loads. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY.

La Sportiva Glacier Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Wildland fire
This has been a newly approved boot for fire suppression and Rx burning so I figured I would test it out. So far a great boot! They break in a little quicker than a pair of nicks or whites. The tops of the boots are great for people with large legs or ankles not so good for us on the slim side. Overall they are great I wear them everywhere. Great ankle support!!!!!
Killer Fire Boots
I bought the Glacier Boots for wildland firefighting. It's not the perfect wildland boot, but it SMOKES my old pair of Whites. They are extremely comfortable and easy to break in, plus I don't roll my heel and walk bow-legged anymore. Hopefully Sportiva will produce a tailor-made fire boot in the future (lug sole, stitched sole, 10-inch height).
glacier and makalu as fire boots
I have tried both these boots and they are awesome for wildland firefighting. They are super comfortable and side hill a lot better than whites or nicks. They are light and the break-in time is less than a week. The size seems to run a little big, and they are hotter than typical fire boots, but these are the best boots for wildland fire out.
Great Combat Mountain Boot!
I have now had my Glacier's for a week here in Afghanistan. Outstanding boot! An average day is humping a 30 kilo ruck at altitude on rock, scree, ice, and snow. Then turning around and going south with 115F temps on near vertical shale. This boot has excellent ankle support and NO break-in time. I was amazed. Good boots mean life or death for me and my team—these boots perform. My only suggestion is that I would like a lug sole option.
These boots were made for walkin...
I used these boots on a climb of Mt. Shasta in May, 2006. They held up well and my feet were warm with a pair of liner socks and Thorlos Mountaineering socks (pretty thick wool). The boots have a good amount of flex due to the half shank. They fit my foot well (I am an average to wide) and gave me no hot spots or blisters. I treated the boots with some Nikwax before running through the slush and wore them around town for a week or so to break them in. I am pretty pleased with the Glaciers as hiking/light mountaineering boots.
