    Expert Review

    Technically, I wear the G5 Evo boots, but you can't get them anymore. These are what I'm eyeing up next, and think they make the best upgrade from the Evos. I won't go back from BOA, and they climb and hike super well. I've done many 12+ hour days in them.

    This product is for…

    Mountaineers tackling ice and alpine objectives who want a single boot that can double up with a liner for colder conditions. Best suited to lower-volume feet, with one host noting a half-size-up fit in La Sportiva sizing.

    Worth noting…

    Lower-volume feet fit best; one host wears a 45 at street size 11.5. One note comes from a host who hasn't yet used this boot personally, so firsthand experience in the notes is limited to two of three hosts.
