Scarpa Footwear Manta Tech Gtx Men’s

The perfect all around Cascade mountaineering boots for people who tend to get cold feet or want a slightly warmer than normal boot to enjoy the standard and intermediate routes to our local summits in comfort.  The GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort lining makes these warmer than typical 3-season mountaineering boots.  A tough 3mm suede leather upper and full coverage rand provide excellent durability, and a Vibram® sole creates long lasting grip and traction.  This boot is nicely balanced with great ankle support for kicking steps upward in the snow and plunge stepping down. The midsole stiffness provides great support and stability for snow travel, while also giving you the torsional stiffness required for edging on rock and just enough flex when frictioning is needed in slabby terrain.  The soles accept most semi-automatic and strap-on crampons, and even provide adequate support when a few more technical moves are needed on steeper snow or ice to reach the top.  The Manta Tech GTX is one of the most well made boots on the market to be able to handle a long Cascade approach in comfort but still provide the excellent stability and support that you want for any type of snow condition that you encounter along the way.  These boots are also great for challenging winter hikes and snowshoe outings, and will likely be one of the most versatile pairs of boots that you will ever own.  Use them on a day hike, or take them to the summit of Mt Rainier.  These boots will just about do it all! (This is also the only boot made in this category that is available in larger sizes up to a European Size 50)
