This new G5 EVO from La Sportiva is their latest state-of-the-art evolution from the former industry standard Batura climbing boot, and will replace this as one of the premier choices in footwear for cold weather ice climbing as well as extremely technical climbing at higher altitudes. These new boots are warmer than their predecessors, while remaining lightweight, low profile, and nimble for the demanding needs of alpinists and more technically oriented mountaineers and winter climbers. The unique incorporated external BOA® fast lacing dial system allows you to quickly and easily fine tune the forefit fit of the boots without having to remove bulky handwear as feet swell and situations change. The G5 EVO is fully synthetic and waterproof, with an integrated ultrasonic welded and heat sealed gaiter. Your boots are arguably the most important piece of gear that you need for mountaineering, so take the time to choose your gear wisely and make the best decision. While boots like these can be a significant investment for many climbers, the proper footwear is worth every penny and will be money well spent.
(We stock a tight assortment of various models and sizes of the best High Altitude Mountaineering boots available at our Feathered Friends Seattle Mountaineering Store. Due to the high expense of stocking modern high altitude mountaineering boots and the ever increasing frequency of model changes by the manufacturers, it is no longer practical for small local family run mountaineering stores like ours to keep every size of every model in stock. These types of boots frequently require us to special order your size. Please stop by our store and allow one of our experienced staff members to help determine the best mountaineering boot model and size for your needs. If needed, we will order a boot or two for you and cover the shipping cost of getting them to our store for you. Our staff will then help you make your best decision, and then we will cover the return shipping fee back to the manufacturer if they end up not providing a good fit for you when you come in to try them on in our store. We really appreciate your willingness to support our mountaineering store by allowing us to help fulfill all of your mountaineering footwear needs!)
