Light-weight, low-profile boots that are the ideal companions for mountaineers and guides who cover a wide variety of technical terrain in any given day.
Carefully crafted suede and textile patterns are combined with ergonomically-shaped internal padding to ensure that the ankle is properly supported and the heel is locked in the heel cup, while at the same time allowing the foot to move freely with excellent protection and support.
The last has been designed with an enhanced rocker to promote a natural, rolling, forward motion and reduce energy expenditure.
Lacing extends right to the toe to ensure precise adjustment of fit.
Microporus midsole provides excellent shock absorption and stability.
Semi-automatic crampon compatible.
eVent lining for breathability.
Vibram Mulaz outsole provides traction in all types of terrain, whether it be rock, scree, snow, ice, mud, or sand.
eVent Menbrane:
The eVent membrane optimizes the balance between waterproofness and breathability.
The film of ePTFE (expanded polyetrafluoroethilene), which the lining is made of, is rendered oil repellent by using a method which protects the open pores, reducing the accumulation of humidity in the microclimate present between the skin and fabric.
V.00 shaft height.
Q2.00 circumference.
R5.00 oz.

| In addition to this boot I tried on the Garmont Tower GT, and Scarpa Escape GTX. The MXT was the most comfortable for me, since it felt wider, and the slightly lower cuff was easier on my sensitive ankles. It was also the only one with a full leather (albeit suede) upper. Out of the box, but with custom orthotics, I backpacked 6 miles (day 1), kicked steps and cramponed up and down 2,000 feet of variable conditions snow and another 1,500 feet of talus (day 2), and hiked out (day 3). Comfortable and dry the whole way, no blisters, hot spots, or any other discomfort. Having a slightly lower profile, and more flex, than a full-on mountain boot made them more comfortable for hiking, but they were still plenty supportive on snow. My only gripes are that the tongue bellows are a little tight (for getting the boot on) and don't go all the way to the top, and I would prefer hooks rather than holes for the top two lace attachments, since I have to unthread them to get the boots on and off. Overall I am very happy with these - comfortable, light, rugged, versatile. | |

| I am very happy (thus far) with this purchase. Out of the box they fell like they were molded for my feet. I can't wait to see what these puppies can do with 50+ pounds on my back in mixed terrain for 10+ days!!! | |

| I tested these boots in N Cascades on the Torment-Forbidden route. They are light and I was impressed how they held on approach and the rock climbing part, but they do an average job on snow and ice. The main issue is the narrowness of the sole - they are much narrower than standard step-in crampons and if you do a lot of kicking they will eventually slide laterally in the crampon. Overall good quality, best suited for beginner level mountaineering routes and narrow feet. | |
