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 Altrec Outdoors:
"If you prefer your weekends filled with hiking, backpacking and climbing on ice, snow and rock but you can only afford one boot, the Glacier fits your lifestyle and budget. La Sportiva recently updated this proven and popular design with a new Vibram Ice sole for improved crampon compatibility and enhanced backpacking traction. It's a superb choice for any backpacker looking for a crampon option that will take them up and over the highest ridges in the land."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"So you get the base of the climb, but the freezing level jumped up and the rockfall in the couloirs skeches you out. Oh, well, you can still just continue on the trail and call it a backpacking weekend. Good thing you are wearing your La Sportiva Glacier boots, a true backpacking and mountaineering hybrid.
