From Campmor:
"The La Sportiva Men's Glacier is an all-leather mountain boot designed for heavy abuse. Classic hiking boot that is great for long backpacking trips, NOLS, or Outward Bound courses and general mountaineering.

EZ-Flex tongue with Dry-Best lining. 8 mm MtnFlex insole with half steel shank. PU Aircushion midsole. Vibram Ice New outsole accepts semi-automatic crampons. Weight 2 lbs. (pair)."
From Backcountry.com:
"If you've ever hunched over a map you couldn't quite trust or wondered if there might be some gnarly ice blocking your route, these are the boots for you. The La Sportiva Glacier Men's Mountaineering Boot is a heavy duty boot that can handle any terrain you might encounter in a week on the mountain. If the trail leads over a snowfield or onto a glacier you can slap on crampons and travel with confidence. The Glacier will even handle light mountaineering and it climbs alpine ice comfortably. With a little more flex and rocker than other heavy duty boots, it's more comfortable on long hikes with heavy loads. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The La Sportiva Men's Glacier is a true backpacking and mountaineering hybrid. You'll be happy you are wearing them when you get the base of the climb, and find out the freezing level jumped and the rockfall in the couloirs sketches you out. Oh, well, you can still just continue on the trail and call it a backpacking weekend.
