mtngt Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Broke my left fibula Oct '05, bought these new Sept '05 intending to use them '06 season, result of rehab is the boots no longer fit my feet! They are brand new, in box, unused. $325 or reasonable offer (paid $355 and tax). Can arrange delivery Seattle (I'm in Shoreline) or shipping extra US lower 48 only. Quote
mtngt Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 Come on guys, someone wants these great boots and I still need new ones that fit! How about $300 or offer? Here's what La Sportiva says about the boot: A mountaineering boot for extreme and mixed conditions! High ankle cuff height and contoured heel pocket combined with EZ Flex2 tongue and speed lacing hardware for a perfect fit. Automatic crampon compatible. La Sportiva MPE outsole for excellent traction in all mountaineering conditions. MPE stands for Mountaineering Performance Evolution. This proprietary sole features a dual-density SBR design, an SBR Aircushion, self-cleaning lugs, and automatic crampon compatibility. 3mm Idro-Perwanger leather with large rubber rand and GORE-TEX® lining that provides durability and protection in extreme conditions. Any takers? Quote
Punter Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 "La Sportiva MPE outsole for excellent traction in all mountaineering conditions" What a joke that statement is. I love my Lhotses but I'll love them a lot more once I get them resoled with Vibram. That MPE stuff is almost dangerous if you are used to vibram's soft and sticky rubber. I am sure that MPE last longer because it is so hard but who wants to give up the traction for longer sole life? Good boots, and resoles aren't that expensive when you consider the benefit. Quote
mtngt Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 I've used the MPE soles and the Lhotse's on cascade snow, ice, trail, bolder scrambles, all with great success, these would be my second pair of Lhotse's except for the injury rehab/fit problem. Wnat to make an offer? Quote
mtngt Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 I REALLY need new boots, any reasonable offer will be accepted. These boots are brand new, in the box, tags on, never used. $275 of offer? Quote
mtngt Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 Lots of you have viewed this, anyone wawnt to make an offer? Quote
mtngt Posted April 23, 2006 Author Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) I'd like to get at least $250 for these so I can still afford new boots that fit. Men's 10.5/44; Women's 11.5. Store would not give me my money back as their store poilcy is 30-day return. Anyone with a realistic offer will not be denied. Edited April 23, 2006 by mtngt Quote
mtngt Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 My broken leg and $180 loss are your gain, first $200 takes these boots, any takers? Quote
