From Backcountry.com:
"The La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot received a 2004 Backpacker magazine Editor's Choice Award. 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. Another feature that sets the Trango apart from the competition is the 3D Flex ankle-hinge system. This support system remains flexible from side to side while providing stability when front pointing in crampons. The Trango is compatible with neumatic crampons. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A comfortable, lightweight alternative to similar mountaineering boots that weigh a couple of pounds more, the award-winning La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX features a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex lining to protect your feet from rain and snowmelt without stifling the interior vapor transfer. One of the best features is a ground-breaking 3D Flex ankle hinge that allows side flexibility without compromising the front-pointing stability. Compared to other traditional climbing boot designs, the La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX is almost luxurious in comfort and support, which means you'll probably end up using it for backpacking and just about any other backcountry activity you can think of this season."

From REI:
"These award-winning alpine boots with Gore-Tex inserts feature all synthetic construction and a unique ankle-hinge system for ample support. Water-repellent Cordura nylon uppers with Flex Tec 2 rubber-coated, Aramide-reinforced polyester panels are super durable and lightweight. Reinforced with water-repellent Lorica synthetic leather for maximum durability and strength. Waterproof, seam-sealed Gore-Tex inserts keep feet dry while allowing excess moisture vapor to escape to prevent overheating. Wicking Dri-lex nylon linings absorb excess moisture and disperse it for fast drying and enhanced comfort. Fully-gusseted and padded tongues keep out debris and water while relieving lacing pressure. Full rubber randing protects feet and uppers from abrasion and bumps while enhancing edging ability on thin edges. Innovative 3D Flex ankle-hinge system offers ample support while front-pointing yet stays flexible enough for flat-footing. Trailflex nylon midsole supports with half-length steel shanks provide optimal torsional rigidity while remaining comfortable for long approaches. Dual-density micropore rubber provides fine-tuned performance with differing levels of cushioning and support for long-haul trips. Durable Vibram Dru rubber outsoles deliver amazing traction on wet and dry surfaces; undercut heels for braking and edging platforms at toes. Outsoles are compatible with both strap-on and hybrid(New-matic) style crampons."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"
