User Review: La Sportiva Makalu (II)

Reviewed June 6, 1999 by George McCloskey

Rating:
Materials: Full Grain Leather
Use: Heavy approach, scree, ice boot
Break-in Period: None
Weight: 4lbs 6oz
Price Paid: $245

This boot was my next step after wearing out two sets of Vasque Gore-Tex hikers. With Shasta, Hood, and Ranier on my horizon, I have relied on the Makalu II as my choice, instead of plastic boots. Easy break-in period, waterproof, and crampon-ready, this boot is a good value for the money. A hand-made Italian paw that's worth every penny.
