great winter boot | |
| Rating: |  |
| great fitting boot, little extra room in the toes but the rest of the boot is a fairly technical fit. perrty warm, ive got bad circ. but i can use these down to 0 give or take a few degrees. climbs hard ice as good as any boot ive used and rock as good as any single boot. comfy for a full shank boot to hike in, did a 18 mile aproch to one climb no blisters. in the end id say... best ice climbing boot on the market, good alpine rock boot, good alpine big wall boot. only bad part is for multi-day climbs use a vb sock, the boot soaks up sweat and insilation is degraded, not really a problem if its going to be 15 degrees or above | |

Another step forward for Sportiva | |

| A lot of hype behind this boot. Nice that Sportiva generally delivers. The Batura is warm, climbs WI5 just fine even in the bigger sizes 46 and is easy on your feet for the walk in. Not my first choice for multiday outings in really cold weather but it will do anything a decent single boot and supergaiter will and may be even a bit more. The shorty gaiter really does work well with a pair of Schoeller pants tucked into them. Zip works just fine and seems indeed water proof. Surprizingly the gaiter and zip aren't the gimmics I had first thought. Most importantly the boot climbs technical ground ice and rock very well. Fit is a bit bigger 1/2 size than the Nepal Evo, for me more c | |

Totally awesome mountaineering boot, but not for vertical ice | |
| Rating: |  |
| I tried this boot indoors only, but tested as thoroughly as possible. Bought 1/2 size down as the boot fits large. Seems to be very warm. It's light and very comfy to walk in. Fantastic for mountaineering, but TOO SOFT for sustained vertical ice. I think your calves will get burned out with the lack of ankle support needed for that. The laces are impossible to reach under the outer layer when wearing gloves. Due to the overall softer construction, my heel wasn't held in place as well as with the Nepal Evo GTX or my Kayland Super Ice, but that's only a problem on vertical stuff. The looks are extremely flashy, which might attract too much attention in developing countries. | |

Light, comfortable, warm | |

| I took the Baturas ice climbing in Adirondack park and on a Presidential Traverse (White Mountains). They were great at both. I was hoping that the built-in gaiter thing would allow me to tuck in several layers so that I could avoid bringing gaiters, but no such luck. One thin layer, maybe. So I still needed gaiters. I decided that they weren't quite warm enough for a Denali trip (in May-09) so I'll have to rely on the Scarpa Invernos again, but the weight of the Baturas is so amazing I'll be taking them everywhere else. Unlike my plastic boots, the Baturas do not have an inner-boot, but I didn't have any problems keeping them dry on a four-day trip. | |

Extremely satisfied with these boots! | |

| ...have used them eight days now on ice. In over 30 years of ice climbing, these are far and away the BEST ice climbing boots I've ever used! They protect the ankle and yet let it move almost freely in all directions. The heel cup keeps the heel in place better than any boot I've ever owned, yet the toe box is roomy. They climb well and walk well, and are quite warm. Since they are for the most part synthetic and have an integrated zipper, I still have my concerns as to whether they will hold up to continued abuse.... | |

| I've had eight days of ice climbing in these boots now. They climb better by far than any other boots I've ever used for ice climbing! They are extremely comfortable! The heel cup really hangs on to the heel, yet the toe box is roomy. The ankle is allowed to move in all directions and yet has some support. They are pretty warm. I am extremely happy with these boots! | |

Everything that the nepal evo is, but somehow better I love technology! | |

| Waited for these for a while. They cost a pretty penny, but when your feet are on the line they are well worth the dollar. These boots are lighter than the awesome nepal evo and are warmer and are easier to lace up. | |
