chris Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) These are the "jack-of-all-trades" boots - they climb great for technical alpine and ice climbs, but still fit well for long hikes in with heavy packs. This is my third pair, and has seen only one summer of use. I had to switch to another brand because my foot has widened over time. I had no "break-in" period with them. They have years of use left. Retail price $290.00 Size: 44.5 Euro (10.5-11 US). Cost: $75.00 + shipping from Tahoe City, CA. Here's a description from La Sportiva's website: TRANGO S EVO GTX Ultralight 3-season alpine climbing boot Light and fast this boot makes you feel like a wood nymph bounding through the mountains. All synthetic and designed for spider like alpine climbing performance; it is waterproof and ready for a semi-automatic crampon.
