La Sportiva - Aequilibrium Speed GTX - Mountaineering boots tested

I used the shoe for 2 months summer climbing in the alps in combination with Petzl irvis hybrid crampons. They work great up to 60 degree snowfields and glacier approaches to alpine rock climbs. Light and nimble and the best shoe in this category by far.

I previously used the Salomon Cross alp which was a similar shoe with integrated gaiter. The sole on the Salomon was not as good for mountaineering when it comes to sole pattern and rubber quality.

The only drawback is that the gaiter wears a bit quickly but that is that flip side of having lightweight gear.
