Baruntse
Description
A sturdy, durable double boot for high altitude mountaineering. Ideal for use on 6000-7000 meter peaks or in harsh winter conditions where you don't want to think about your feet.
The thermo-formable, super resilient Cordura®-coated inner boot sports the patented speed lacing system and couples with the highly insulated multi-layered PE outer boot for dependable warmth. The PU coating on the low-profile, synthetic outer keeps moisture outside and heat inside the boot. When the conditions are cold and high, the Baruntse offers a hospitable climate to keep your feet warm and dry.

Tips: La Sportiva recommends that you add one 1/2 size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters. |

The Vibram Montagna sole does what it was intended to do: Kick good platforms in snow to provide climbers with traction when not wearing crampons while resisting abuse. The traditional lacing of the outer boot is nothing special, however the patented speed lace system on the inner boot is a great addition. This feature allows working with the inner boot while wearing big gloves in cold weather. Baruntse is not the boot you want to take to Ouray, Colorado, for ice climbing but it will take you to the summit of Denali!
