SCARPA Men's Liskamm GTX Mountaineering Boot Review

This pair of Scarpa Liskamm GTX mountaineering boots are quite impressive in many ways. I am retiring my all leather Swiss 1971 Raichle Matterhorns. It's time old friends. My toes needed just a bit more room anyway. The D width is true to size and I ordered a size 14 (Euro 48) to hold my size 13 foot. This will allow a medium weight wicking liner and the usual ragg wool sox and still have toe wiggle room. They are a nice combination of (stiff enough for crampons & edging, but enough flex/rocker to hike in). At this point in my life I do more scrambling around backpacking or hunting in rough rocky canyons & mountains, therefore, I cannot critique them for technical climbing as I probably won't be doing much of that anymore. However, they are comfortable, ankle supportive,& well crafted. I have never subscribed to the "lighter the better doctrine of boots". There is a trade off for foot protection.
Being "old school",I like the green color. I am not a fan of the fruit boots. We will see how the Liskamms stand the test of time and use. Bottom line; they are offered as a crossover boot for two purposes (mountaineering & heavy duty backpacking). I think they are right on with that idea and result. I would recommend them to anyone that needs those options.

I bought these boots back in March of 2000.At first I thought it was just a standard boot with a high price tag, but after a couple of years of abuse, I realized that I may be wearing these for a long time.They are very comfortable even without break-in, but they will get even more comfortable with time.10 years later I still wear the same boots and the tread is hardly worn, although I have replaced the laces 3 times.From tennis shoes to flip flops to high tops, I have owned other shoes of all types but these still remain my best shoe, regardless of type, that I have ever worn.

Whether you're out for the day or on a multi-day trek, you'll be totally set with the Dakota Boot from Garmont. The anatomically directed design is shaped with a 2.4 mm nubuck upper for water resistance and increased support while a Vibram sole provides ideal track and shock absorption. A secure lace-up closure finishes this heavily loaded design that's bound to take whatever adventure you throw its way.

Good boots. Solid support. Good for use with snowshoes and crampons. Would get something else for any serious front pointing on ice and such.
5-6 trips out in snow since purchasing and never got cold or wet feet. Overall very happy with boots.
