Mountaineering Boots

I need some boots! Looking for a good deal, but hard to find size 13.5 ..Let me know if anyone see's any

Damn those are some big flippers you got boy!

 

It's a long shot, but call the North Face Store in Seattle and see if they have any La Sportiva boots in that size. If so, they will be 75% off.

I'm size 13/14 and got some Scarpa Freney XTs this winter, size 48. I ordered them sans trying them on, and luckily, they fit. Just barely long enough. Koflach makes huge plastics (I think) and the Lowa Civetta goes up to size 16. Crampons become an issue, too. Good luck.

I tried NFS Seattle and they only have the Makalu's in my size "47" which I allready have a pair ..I'm looking for something a little better and sturdy..Thanks for the tip though.

Second Ascent has some boots in the size 13 range. Lowa Civettas and the like.

 

Almost all manufacturers make boots to size 13, about half of them make size 14. I'm equipped with the size 15 big dogs, so I had even fewer options (only Lowa and Scarpa).

 

Crampons are a minor issue. Buy some Sabretooths. If they don't fit, e-mail BD customer service and ask for a M/L Contact extender bar. They are longer than the Sabretooth bar. I have a pair of Contacts that fit on my size 16 leathers just fine.

No retailer in their right mind stocks anything above 12. You gotta order from the manufacturers, I got my Scarpas straight from BD.
