geminsa Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I'm shopping for a new pair of boots and looking for any thoughts on the Nepal's or the Ice 9000s? Mainly will be used in the lower 48 (Rainier in June, etc.) If you know of a good cheap source to purchase either one throw that in as well.

Necronomicon Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I just got the Scarpa Cerro Torre boots, super sweet, light, comfy, and warm. My second pair of scarpas, my Assaults lasted six years and took a lot of abuse. I'd go Scarpa over La Sportiva any day, given that I've seen La Sportiva boots falling apart after not much use.

freeclimb9 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I checked out the Vasque boots at a trade show, and my initial critque was that the eyelets extend beyond the boot to the point of being vulnerable. My only negative critique. I like Salomon and Tecnica boots. But many brands are very good. Get the ones that fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psm Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 anyone got any opinions on the Teknica Altitude plus ???? don't know whether to go with these or the sportiva nepal extremes, I have a wide foot so the sportivas may be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daler Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 what size is your foot. i have a pair of the altitude plus in a 10.5/ 11. They are a great boot and very warm for that type of boot. the only reason I'm selling them is i'm working with sportiva. I will let them go at a great price, 100 bucks if the fit is right and the owner will let them out to play. dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
