Recommended for: Lowland mountaineering, ice climbing and hard winter backpacking.
The ankle shape of this versatile, insulated shoe has been tweaked to allow for a slightly softer and easier ankle flex when traveling uphill, but its best-selling concept remains the same, balancing comfort with durability. The Alpine Expert II GTX is a high-performance yet walkable mountaineering boot, making it ideal for ice and mixed climbing, lower altitude trips as well as tough winter backpacking. Automatically compatible with crampons. With a permanent waterproof/breathable GORE-TEX lining to protect your feet from the elements.
