This boot, weighs in at a super light 2lb 10oz, one of the reasons it's won favor with mountaineering gurus worldwide. The Gore-Tex membrane is guaranteed waterproof, while remaining breathable. La Sportiva took their climbing shoe background to heart when they created the snug-fitting Trango's lacing system with lace lock.

The Trango is compatible with neumatic crampons. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY."

One of the best features is a ground-breaking 3D Flex ankle hinge that allows side flexibility without compromising the front-pointing stability.

Men's Trango S Evo GTX
This is a very light boot. Feels more like a climbing shoe--BUT NOT AN ICE CLIMBING BOOT. Mtn Hardware claims it has "frointpointing stability. " It does not. It flexes at the ball like a pair of heavy sneakers and I can't imagine what kind of crampons could front point up anything but low angle spring snow in these boots.

I must say that after being a mountaineer for 30+ years it is nice to see they can still teach an old dog new tricks! This goes for boots as well. At the ripe old age of 56 my body, including feet, just does not take the abuse like it once did. These boots are the most comfortable out of the box I have ever slid onto my feet! First trip was into Goat Rocks in Washington state on a 3 day solo.

I bought these boots to get into more winter hiking and climbing. These boots were completely comfortable for everything from late fall through spring climbing and hiking. I even managed to spend a very comfortable climb on ice when the air temperature was over 60.
Men's Trango S Evo GTX
I bought this boot to supplement my old school heavy leather hiking boots, and after a couple of uses I only wear these! I was used to prepping my feet for blisters from the old boots, but that isn't a concern here. Even out of the box, these boots fit like tennis shoes yet are supportive and rugged.
Men's Trango S Evo GTX
Used these boots twice - once for climbing Huayna Potosi in Bolivia, and then for the Annapurna Circuit. Too cold for Huayna - had to turn around at around 5700 meters as I couldn't feel my toes. They were superb for the Annapurna trek - comfortable, lightweight for a climbing boot (a bit of overkill for the trek perhaps) and never anything even close to a blister.

I bought these boots for a mountain climbing trip (Rainier). After three months of "breaking in," I'm still getting blisters on my heels. Now one lace eyelet has ripped out.
I called Sportiva and of course they offered to repair it under warranty.
Trango S Evo GTX
Great boots... I've always been loving leather, but if you think of an incredibly lightweight product with a perfect construction highly engineered... this is the Trango Trek.
Great for approaching, fit as a gaunt...and last but not least: not made in China!
bye!
