Xray Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've read that a select group of people have been previewing the new Super Alpinista and Ice 9000 this spring and fall. Is that you? They are out now, and I'm looking for your thoughts on these supposedly super warm, durable, and lightweight boots. Are they worth $400 and $500, respectively?

The review here is for the Mk2 versions that appeared in some places in the Spring of '05. http://alpineclimbing.blogspot.com/2006/01/review-vasque-ice-9000-double-boot.html I'm not aware of a newer model.

sketchfest Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hey Mike, what you got against the alpinista's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 they are heavy, my crampons fall off on lead due to the extra soft rubber, too narrow, and they dig into my ankle, and no shoe is worth that kind of $$ I would buy the la sportiva ice boot (i have the old style and have been fine in very cold conditions...exra socks), the freney by scarpa, the vasque m-finity, any kayland boot. I would wait for the Mad Rock boot to come out and get that if it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
