You will find a common thread among Lhotse Reviews, that these boot are bomb proof. Well they aren't kidding. I think if I stepped on a bomb, the only thing left would be my boots. This is as pristine as the day I bought 'em! Before receiving them, I was a little concerned that they might be too heavy as they are a little heavier than some other models but in actuality the extra weight is not even noticeable. Although, the boots are incredibly comfortable, I would really recommend that you still work them in before tackling anything substantial. These boots are a great fit for a narrower foot like mine. With their stealthy good looks and premium construction, the Lhotse is an excellent buy.

I'd also recommend: Asolo, Zamberlan, La Sportiva, Scarpa

Feel the love when you love the feel - I had tried on a few pair of La Sportiva boots in size 47 then blindly ordered these from Zappos in a 48. I threw some super feet in them and I have to say out of 5 pairs of mountaineering boots I own, this is my favorite pair hands down. They are a little heavy, but make up for it with the support. I LOOK for reasons to wear my black beauties... I've done over 15 miles in a day of climbing/hiking, with minimal foot discomfort, they performed amazingly.

If you make the mistake of buying mountaineering boots online, then these are the ones to get. They are tough as nails and fit better than my socks. For being waterproof and insulated they breathe quite well. These boots run a bit on the stiff side but an eight hour shift at work and 11 hours of glacier travel gave me not one blister. Black diamond sabertooth semi-autos fit great with this boot.

The most comfortable of the heavy duty backpacking boots I've ever worn. Crampons work well and are stable due to the stiff shanks. If you plan to wear thick wool socks over liners one should consider up-sizing. Normally I wear size 46 but I bought size 48 and the fit is perfect even with the thickest socks. This is not a hiking boot for day trips for that buy ASOLO 520s which are super comfortable right out of the box.

These have proven to be a great boot so far. Quite stiff at first, but starting to break-in. Excellent ankle and arch support. Thanks Zappos for the fast delivery and excellent service!
