Shoe/boot advice

[kevino]

I have two questions I'm trying to answer.

 

First, I want a shoe to do car to car trips in, like an approach shoe of sort that is comfy and good on rock up to low fifth class, etc. I've read lots of good things about the La Sportiva Exum, but I cam across these , which have good reviews and half the price. Anyone have experience with them? Or any other suggestions?

 

Second: I have the La Sportiva K4S, which I use for winter/spring alpine and ice climbing. They work great for those seasons. However when the approach is dry and the weather is warmer they are overkill both in warmth and the full length shank. I'm looking for a boot that are good/decent for walking in on basic trail, and are good for snow/glacier travel plus easier rock climb/scrambling. My friend has the Scarpa Trioletts and recommends them. Any other suggestions?

 

And yes, I've seen the other threads, but most people were looking for ones in colder conditions, and I'm more concerned about comfort and being lighter since I already have a boot for colder condtions.

 

Thanks for all the help!

A good friend of mine has the montrail C2Cs, he loves them. That's a great price, I'd jump on it.

Just to follow up, I ordered the montrail ctc's.

 

And I also got the Garmont Vetta Plus in response to my demands - so to speak. Anyway, looks like a great shoe, plus I got it for like $100 brand news. There 50% off plus another $20 from amazon.com.

 

I'll be putting these to the test starting this weekend. I'll let everyone know how they turnout.
