Featuring a lighter weight and improved durability of its predecessor, The Kayland M11+ is great for your next mountaineering adventure!
Schoeller gaiter.
Suede and microfiber upper.
Liner consists of Dryver, Primaloft, and eVent technologies: -Your feet take you everywhere, so foot protection and comfort are very important. Primaloft helps you to conserve energy by keeping your feet warm even when wet, so you'll have the strength to make it to drier ground. Primaloft Footwear technology combines ultra-fine and multi-diameter fibers in a specially engineered process that works with the structure of the boot to help keep feet warm and dry. Together the fibers form a tortionally strong, resilient, breathable and water-resistant insulating core. -eVent fabrics consist of a patented waterproof membrane that also protects you from wind. Its unique composition allows millions of tiny pores to breathe at their full potential. Sweat vents directly to the outside of the fabric in one easy step. The patented fabric keeps water out without blocking those millions of tiny pores that let the sweat out.
Kayland Winter Primaloft footbed helps keep you warm, dry and comfortable.
Engineered Composite Technology (E.C.T.) Rock insole. Kayland uses carbon composites in its E.C.T. Well-designed carbon composites have high properties in terms of durability, flexibility, tensile strength, compression and resistance to fatigue.
Kayland's Vaporlite midsole consisting of a micro-porous material that is lightweight and provides cushion and support.
A5 Last. Kayland believes the fit of a shoe begins with the form and design of the last. Kayland lasts are a replica of the human foot, around which the upper is stretched to give the boot its internal shape. For nearly 40 years, Kayland has taken feedback from male and female athletes and mountaineers to develop a range of lasts to ensure an optimal combination of fit and performance.
Automatic crampons.
Durable Vibram Teton rubber outsole maintains grip in cold weather, over all types of terrain. Designed for mountaineering, this outsole features a star cleat tread that is very aggressive. The Vibram Teton provides traction on the most impervious terrain and powerful braking due to the number of wide, self-cleaning channels.
Q0.00 shaft height.
Q3.00 circumference.

All around mountain boot

Rating:*****

I climb in the the White Mnts. every winter. Conditions can be rough. Plastic boots are warm but eat your feet up. Other leather Mountaineering boots just have not made the mark until the Kayland M11+ came around. They are light, feel like your wearing a hiking boot and not a clunky mountaineering boot. They keep the elements out and the event really works - better than Goretex. They are stiff enough for vertical ice and yet are very comfortable for long approaches. These boots are warm, but if going to wear in the winter I would recommend buying a 1/2 to a wholel size bigger to acccomodate a mountaineering sock.
Overall, one of if not the nicest boot on the mountain.
