User Review: La Sportiva Makalu (II)
|
Rating: 
Materials: Leather
Use: Light Mountaineering
Break-in Period: Not there yet
Weight: 5lbs
Price Paid: $235
So far it's been a very good boot. Four trips to 10,000+ in snow/rain so far this winter and the feet have stay warm & dry. Definitely waterproof these boots thoroughly before use. The breakin has been murder on my heels, big blisters, advise the use of some moleskin on the heels from the first day until broken in. They accept step-in crampons and the black diamond's work well with this boot. If you plan on doing any extended glacier travel or real cold stuff, you will want more than this boot, but for general mountaineering it holds up fine.
