If you are looking for a boot that bridges the gap between a beefy approach boot and a speedy mountaineering boot then the Garmont Men's Tower GTX Mountaineering Boot is the perfect choice. The Tower received Rock, Ice's Editor's Choice award for Best Value. With a Gore- Tex lining and low stretch Schoeller Grundware upper you get a waterproof boot but also a boot that won't stretch out to much. The fiberglass frame keeps the Tower GTX light but durable and stiff enough on steep ascents. The fiberglass frame is 3/4 length so it's flexible enough on long approaches and secure enough for front point crampons. The vibram rubber sole and rand keep your foot holding on dodgy traverses. The Tower GTX fits like a hiking boot rather than a close fitting plastic mountaineering boot.

A fully realized mountain boot meticulously rendered in the Merrell manner- tough, durable, powerful and ready to face off with demanding conditions and bouy up a heavy load. Waterproof top grain leather upper is cut close to eliminate bulk and matched to an In-Board™ construction that internalizes the EVA footframe and integrated stiffened insole. The Vibram® Hiker™ Sole recruits Trek and Super Trek rubber for grip and braking even at full-throttle wilderness speeds.End uses: Backpacking with a medium to heavy load (35+ lbs) on long and tough trails. Best worn with mid-weight hiking socks or a combination of light liner with mid-weight sock.

La Sportiva replaced the metal eyelets near the toe with webbing loops for enhanced comfort in cracks.

You'll also find a little less rubber around the outer shank, which improves the power of the slingshot rand. Whether you do sport climbing or a more traditional approach, the redesigned Mythos will have you doing it more comfortably than ever before.

Redesigned for better hot weather comfort, this female-specific Mythos offers all the same great fit and functionality of previous bestselling incarnations, but now it has a highly breathable Dri-Lex liner along the tongue to help keep your feet cooler on the wall or at the gym.
