Plastic Boots - Suggestions? Faves?

Recommended Posts

My old Koflack Degres are SHOT. I had them for years, and liked them a lot. They fit perfectly, and were comfortable on approaches. I went looking for a new pair, but it looks like they are not making them anymore. Can't find them anywhere.

 

Anything else comperable in a hard-shell boot? My feet get cold easily (Reynaud's), so I use them a lot for both glacer and snowshoeing. Better wide than narrow.

 

Anybody...?

You can get the Koflach Vertical, which has the shell of the Arctis Expe, but with thinner liners, for relatively cheap here, and I think they've got most sizes. Should fit comparable to your Degre:

 

 

Edit: Not many sizes left.

The local shop has a notice from Atomic stating that they are shutting down Koflach Mountaineering boots - no more.

 

Lowa are in my experience very narrow.

 

I have a pair of the Asolo Evolution that I passed liners back and forth with a pair of Arctis Expe, and they are only slightly narrower.

 

If you want to go non-hard shell, I have talked to lots of people with wide feet who like the Vasque 9000. Same for the Millet 8km boots.

 

Good luck.

I think it's a brand - comes in a yellow and red tube says "Barge Cement". Actually, I think the guy at the shop I go to most would probably do it for me for free - they have a tube laying around all the time.

 

Many climbing shops, shoe repair places and some hardware stores carry it.

 

You could always ask at wherever they know you by name.
