For the cold, foreboding peaks of the world’s great ranges, La Sportiva created the sturdy, durable Men’s Baruntse Mountaineering Boot. With a PU-coated, two-layer insulating outer boot and a removable, thermo-moldable EVA inner boot, the Baruntse holds in warmth and blocks out snow and weather on high-altitude summit ridges and icy headwalls. A thermo-reflective aluminum layer in the shell helps conserve heat, and abrasion-resistant Cordura reinforcements on both the shell and inner boot hold up to rocky approaches and jagged alpine terrain.

Was excited about it, but ultimately too narrow

Rating:***

Was excited about this boot, US size 14 (48) seems hard to find (not sure why, in mountaineering boots you're supposed to go one size bigger, and size 13 seems fairly common). Unfortunately it dug into the outsides of both my feet BAD just walking around the office for a while. I tried removing insoles, lacing loosely, everything, still rubbed. I was so disappointed because otherwise it was comfortable to walk in, felt lightweight, looked pretty damn cool, and represented a warm, flexible alternative for me vs. leather boots as I get too cold in them. Also I wanted something I could take to Denali or do any sort of Winter climbs. Even for spring/summer, I previously tried the Lowa GTX boots and my toes got way too cold even in good weather from 12,500 up on Rainier.For a Mt. Adams climb I did a last minute REI switch from Baruntse to the Invernos due to burn issues on the Baruntse. The Invernos are a bit loose to I'm on the fence due to ankle protection, but I'm going try tightening the inner boot more and maybe putting on some neoprene ankle wraps to fill out volume/provide more ankle support. Invernos are sort of a last resort as they just don't feel like a great fitting boot and are heavier, it's like a completely inflexible big plastic shell, then and inner boot. But what can I do? Open to other boot suggestions. Want something that can do winter + June Denali, in addition to Rainier spring/summer (I’d rather be too warm on the feet). Plus I need the boot in a US 14.If you have narrower feet, this boot may be awesome for you. Also if you have this boot, write a review because I literally could not find one review on this anywhere and I hate buying un-reviewed items. I will say that I don't consider myself to have wide feet necessarily, I guess maybe just slightly wide? I fit most other shoes/boots aside from a lot of Salomon trail runners which run super narrow. Anyway 3 stars but if you don't have the rub problem maybe these could be 5 star boots for you.NOTE: backcountry doesn't carry anything beyond a size 47 in this boot, bought the 48 from a local shop near Mt. Rainier.
