La Sportiva Trango Alpine GTX Men's Mountaineering Boots - GORE-TEX Waterproof, Vibram Sole, Semi-Automatic Crampon Compatible

Alpine climbers and technical mountaineers demand a boot that balances lightweight agility with uncompromising protection. The La Sportiva Trango Alpine GTX delivers exactly that, combining a water-repellent Cordura® upper with a GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining to keep your feet dry through snowfields, rocky ridges, and sudden downpours. The Honey-Comb Guard™ and FlexTec 3 inserts provide durable abrasion resistance and flexible support, while the differentiated lacing system with hooks and loops allows precise fit adjustment from toe to ankle. A low-density polyurethane midsole in the toe and heel absorbs impact, an EVA central zone reduces weight, and a TPU insert at the rear enables secure semi-automatic crampon attachment. The Vibram® Cube outsole with Impact Brake System™ delivers reliable traction on mixed terrain, and the 4mm graded nylon footbed offers tuned stiffness for long approaches and technical climbs. Weighing just 1450g per pair (size 42 EU), these boots are built on the proven Trango last and are fully resoleable for seasons of use.
