And the winner is...
I have tried on at least 8 different pairs of boots trying to find one that fits my foot well. This one is obviously it. Here is my reasoning for going with this boot:
1: Fit. It is comfortable- I recently got back from some spring mountaineering in Colorado on mixed terrain and snow/ice to 60 degrees. My feet never felt discomfort! I wore them around the office for one day before leaving for Colorado and they seemed to be effortless in breaking in- although I do expect they will get even more comfortable after about one more year.
2: Design. I was originally looking at the Trango Evo GTX, but decided that I might as well buy a boot that I can use ice climbing as well (I have crampons that require both a toe and heel bail.) I really love the lacing. It really pulls your heel in and you can crank down the lacing so there is virtually NO lift in the heel. Or you can loosen up the boot, tighten it up over the top of the foot, and it hikes really well. The weight is not bad at all, still not as light at the Evo GTX, but hey, not much is.
I would have liked to see a Gore-Tex liner in this boot. I did notice my foot got a little wet when I walked through some streams and or walking in soft/wet snow. The boots dried out quickly. I was not wearing gaiters, so that could be part of my problem. I really like the built in gaiter- it helped keep snow out of my boot when I was glissaiding. It also keeps small rocks out when hiking. I have yet to try anything completely vertical/overhanging on ice yet but I did some class 4 rock climbing in them and they edged and climbed really well.
Overall, this will be the boot I grab when ever the temps get close to or below freezing and I am climbing in the lower 48.
Great job La Sportiva!
And a big THANK YOU to Zappos.com for free shipping on both the purchase and the return. I will definitely shop with Zappos again!

 |  | Kudos! I ordered my New Balance shoes and when they arrived (right away, I might add) I found they were too big. When I called the Zappos customer service line, I was immediately issued the new pair, which arrived AGAIN within two days! That was before I had the chance to even get the first pair in the return post. That's the best customer service I've ever had. Thank you Zappos. You have made a permanent customer out of me! I've told my friends and co-workers about this experience also. |  | ~ Ginny , September 02 2008
