User Review: La Sportiva Glacier EVO

Rating: 
Price Paid: 325 CAN$ + txs
I've been backpacking with those boots in the Rockies all summer long, so I can tell you the pros and cons of these boots.
At first, this is a heavy backpacking/light mountaineering booth, so you have to wear them often before going to any extended trip. When it's done, they feel really good. Good support, not too heavy, and so on...
But after only three weeks of use, I had a little problem with one of them. The heel/ankle junction started to unstitched. After a couple more weeks, the other booth started to unstitched at the exact same place. Design problem? Personally, I think that it is due to the fact that the leather and the black fabric don't work together very well. The leather is probably too rigid for the other fabric.
Since I needed them for the rest of my backpacking trip, I waited untill early August before I brought them back for warranty service. By that time, the first boot to unstitched has went a little worse. In fact, in the last week I've been using them, the whole area around where the first problem appears collapsed...
La Sportiva thinks I waited too long before I brought them back, they don't want to warranty them.
Will I buy another pair of booth made by La Sportiva? Ask me!
