SCARPA Men's Liskamm GTX Mountaineering Boot Review

SCARPA Men's Liskamm GTX Mountaineering Boot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

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.

Kayland Men's Zephyr Hiking Boot Review

While these boots are attractive, they are far from durable.While there are many glowing reviews to be found for these boots, most of the reviewers haven't put any serious miles in them.I took these out for a 5 day backpacking excursion in the Grand Canyon and by the second day, the outsole had already begun separating from my right foot.By the time I climbed out on the fifth day, I easily could have removed the outsole from the right boot with my hand, and the outsole on the left boot was also coming apart.It wasn't entirely surprising since the soles are only secured with glue.The corners cut to make these boots lightweight were also evident in the provided cushioning.Plan on sore feet if you spend any time walking over scree.If you spend most of your time walking on groomed trails, this may not be an issue.

Keep your cool in Kayland's Zephyr hiking boot. The durable boot features a unique cocona technology which uses the fibers of coconuts inside the boot's fabrics for pore structure to be the best (and most natural) moisture-absorbent shoe out there, a full-tractioned vibram outsole for rugged terrain, and a sturdy lace-up front for putting those padded linings in place, keeping you stable the whole journey through.

I am an American and I love quality from fine engineers and builders. These Scarpa boots that I purchased from Amazon.com is a great example of fine engineering and you can tell they are built with pride. They are the best boot I ever bought. You pay for quality, and if quality & comfort is what you want than here's your boot. I'll be buying this boot again when I wear the first pair out. It feels like that might be a few years from now. Very, Very Excellent !!! Gary from the Tehachapi Mountains

SCARPA Men's Kailash GTX Hiking Boot Review

SCARPA Men's Kailash GTX Hiking Boot
Average Reviews:

The Scarpa Kailash is an amazing all purpose mid weight boot, I started checking into them after they received excellent reviews in last year's Backpacker Gear Guide and eventually bought a pair. There was a small bit of hesitancy surrounding this purchase since I rarely buy new boots. I don't have the budget to be dropping a few hundred bucks every season to keep up with the latest trends so durable gear is a must. Thankfully I was not let down and they lived up to the hype, amazingly comfortable right out of the box and incredibly durable they were perfect for general use and mid weight hikes even over longer distances. The Gore-Tex liner does help when it comes to water proofing but if you're going into deep snow or extremely wet conditions (or any kind of mountaineering) you may want to consider stepping up to the Barun which is Scarpa's light weight mountaineering boot and the Kailash cousin. (I should point out the Kailash does dry quickly thanks to its design and holds out 99% of the water; I'm just a little bit obsessive when it comes to that.) So if you're looking for a boot that will take you through three seasons comfortably with a lot of durability and a low price tag then this is the boot for you. I have a pair and have no intention of trading them in anytime soon. I also learned recently that they are going to be this year's boot of the year for Backpacker Magazine yet again, for whatever that matters to you.

I found out about these in a Herrington catalog. I've never ordered shoes online so I was a bit hesitant. I have wide feet so finding comfortable shoes can be a hassle. These are VERY comfortable. They have a thick padded tongue and a really high quality insert. Usually the first thing I do with new shoes is buy my own inserts. I think these ones will be fine and dandy. They are rather pricey shoes but it seems that scarpa is a well respected outdoor climbing shoe company so I expect to get years of use out of these puppies. They seem to be true to size. I was worried they'd be too small or too big.

Wonderful shoe, that fits like a glove (the pull-tight heel strap really works). (Order a half size smaller than your street shoes as this is all-leather and will stretch some. I wear size 12 regular shoes and am happy with my size 45 Technos) I got this shoe for all day trad climbs, but find I use it for everything (except the routes I need the extra psychup on - when I use my extra-tight size 44 Scarpa Visons). Edges and frictions well, beautifully crafted and looks like they'll last me years.
