User Review: La Sportiva Glacier

La Sportiva Glacier
Above: The current Glacier, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Break-in Period: 1/2 hour
Price Paid: too much

These boots were a big disappointment. Virtually no support after they are broken in. They feel like a pair of converse canvas basketball shoes--if you are serious about true mountaineering these are not the boots. Skip the Makalu and go for the Eiger, La Hotse or better yet if you can the Nepal Extremes.
