heinz you're bullshitting! You cite klavdij as if we all have to know him, and don't explain why you two are such buddies that whole Slovenia should know this, you're teasing people so they ask you and you can explain, right? As far as I see grs archives on 2.8. namely on triglav in last 50 years nothing deadly happened, niente. unless you verbally killed someone, that I can too - ask cenet kovač from špitalič what he was picking up on škrlatica 13.september a few years ago. anyway don't bullshit, there was at least 7x more shit... than on triglav 2.august a few years ago. totally moronic story, hey

Today I went to Alpina to get Tibet gojzar boots.
If someone needs cheap footwear let them do it tomorrow too.

Yeah well, if anyone thinks my intention is to >mock< someone, they're mistaken. It's about the fact that I didn't even intend to recall in detail some story that sent shivers down my spine when my former colleague told it to me.
As for Klavdij, he's somewhat known to the public, no need for details on that, not even for the lingot himself..
They were >collecting< the frozen bodies of two hugging teenage girls, dressed in short shorts, sandals etc.
Regardless of what archives anyone has (mandatory on Sunday at the referendum circle against), I still trust more the reliability of statements from a long-time pillar of the rescuers.
I'm not for any stupid polemics full of puffing up, inflating, etc. I think the intention was among other things to talk about the real danger of inadequate equipment in the high mountains in summer.
Best!

Can any owner of the new Alpinine LHOTSE model tell me how the boot performs on hikes in the high mountains? Lp

hi
I'm interested if the La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX boots are suitable for walking on glaciers?

So if I'm planning to go to Gran Paradiso this August, are these boots suitable?

Simple answer: these are summer boots, primarily intended for Dolomite via ferratas and mountaineering tours. GV uses them e.g. for guiding on Ortler, Veliki Klek, Marmolada etc. Before crossing snowfields/glaciers you adjust so-called "semi-automatic" crampons (completely wrong name; technically speaking there are no automatic or semi-automatic crampons! If they were really as named, we wouldn't need to attach anything, but just strap them on like ski bindings - Salewa is to blame for that) and go. I don't know why you have doubts about them. Most likely you've done some winter tour with them here. For longer colder tours they are a bit colder than winter ones, but perfectly suitable for Paradiso or Mont Blanc. Just impregnate them before use and that's it.

Underestimating conditions has burned many already... Anyway, no miracle if there's snow in high mountains mid-summer... Warm clothes and good footwear are prerequisites anyway... Along with common sense of course!

I tried quite a few gojzarjevs today and this one fit my foot the best /www.promontana.si/spletna-trgovina/izdelek/370/cevedale_gtx_cevlji/ and I'm wondering how it performs on summer and some lighter winter tours. True they're a bit pricey but I've learned from experience that it's not worth skimping on boots..

Hi!
A year ago I bought these Alpinine hiking boots (in the picture). After a year of wearing the boots, my toes still hurt on descent (left more than right), no matter how much I tighten the laces before descent or how thin socks I wear. Haven't tried barefoot yet. Heel is fine luckily. Boots are big enough (size or even two larger than foot size), have crampon attachment. I suspect they are too narrow in front. I tried them in the store and they were good on flat ground, but they don't let me test them on a hill. If I had at least a wooden wedge or something similar Does anyone have similar problems and if so, how did they solve them?
Thanks.

For stretching, alcohol therapy works best. If you've worn them a lot, it'll be harder to fix but not hopeless. Soaking a sock with schnapps or pharmacy alcohol and going mushroom picking maybe isn't the most elegant; the easiest is a shoemaker for little money, who soaks the toe area a bit with spirit and puts them on a last overnight, that's also most effective.

Hi,
has anyone tested the new Alpina Lhotse boot yet? It looks quality made, all leather...haven't seen opinions about it yet.
Thanks for any info.

I'm buying new boots, mainly for summer high mountain use, but I'd like them to serve well also for possible winter paths.
Somehow already decided for Alpina Tibet, but it bothers me that they don't have rubber protection around toe area and heel. Since I like walking (and descending ) on various screes, not quite sure if buying these is sensible? Maybe I'm wrong?
Alternative currently Garmont Idaho GTX.

Hi!
For your needs or expectations, I'd recommend checking out the TRIOLET GTX model from SCARPA. Really top-notch boot!
Regards

Probably no better than Scarpa Triolet and Lowa Cevedale GTX on the market, especially for the summer boot model.
Both models were used by Austrians, walked huge km with them, even in Nepal treks. Boots were really worn out, already at the end of their lifespan and extremely praised by owners. Lowa are by last even slightly narrower than Scarpa and probably breathe a bit better - Lowa ventilation system. Scarpa by feel on the foot are also somewhat more robust and stable, Lowa a bit more technical for small footholds climbing. Other boots don't lag much behind them (summer Asolo, Fitwell, Terzeta, Hanwag, La Sportiva, Kayland, Alpina). For a very comfortable leather boot, none better than Scarpa Ladakh, which is made in one piece of leather or Meindl boot for wider feet.

It happens that even with larger boots than too tight ones, we get blisters and pain in the front part of the toes. Different boot brands have very differently shaped inner lasts. Even a slightly pronounced protruding heel part holds the foot well and doesn't slip forward and stays in place. Then there's the important instep flex area of the boot, where we lace through the hook-eyelet and thus the upper entrance part holds the foot away from the toe tips.
With you, probably the problem is too wide front part of the boot. Then the foot freely slides to the end of the boot or toe area.
I myself have partial problems with slightly too small Fit Well boots (bluish toenail), where sizes are only in full numbers. So I was forced to buy new ones, this time Scarpa Triolet Gtx, which served me well for years. Already by feel when put on, they were much better than La Sportive Trango, Garmont, Lowe. They are more robust in leather, provide side support to the foot, the foot sits perfectly in the last at the heel, in the middle part there's enough room for the foot, which I like a lot, at the same time the boot laces up nicely to the foot with the laces. Entry into the boot is very easy and immediate due to the tongue opening. The sole has thick cushioning rubber and very good torsional strength and asymmetric pronounced arch. Simply comfortable and technical, which competition hardly achieves. Gore-Tex membrane provides ventilation and foot dryness. The boot is three-season and with warmer socks used also at the beginning and end of the warmer winter period. Tomorrow testing them!.

Here! My contribution to the topic...
Last weekend after 6 years I wore out my Merrells to the end, so I researched too. In the end (after pb. 20 tried pairs) I hesitated exactly between mentioned models: Alpina Lhotse, Scarpa Triolet GTX and Garmont Idaho.
1. Alpina Lhotse - model with Perwanger leather (orange) was somewhat stiffer and pinched me distinctly in instep area when squatting. Model with nubuck leather (brown) seemed more comfortable but the issue in instep (to lesser extent) was still there. If anything, I'd choose brown model, available with PZS discount for 200€.
2. Garmont Idaho - no special remarks. Comfortable, stable, crampon slots... In Igluj action for 167.00 €.
3. TRIOLET GTX - SCARPA - heard Scarpa has narrow models, so skeptical. But when I tried the boot in right size I couldn't find anything bothering me. Comfortable and stable. Nothing binds. Ties very nicely, tongue fits well. Front on sole has some special "climbing" zone that supposedly gives good grip on rock. Actually color bothered me most (I'm more conservative). Price at GIGI: reduced from 270 to 200€.
In the end chose Scarpa and got Tuesday 10% discount (price thus 180.00 €). Already tested boots and quickly went uphill to Pohorje. For now more than satisfied. Will get used to color Slightly skeptical only about metal "hooks" for laces in lower part. Hope none breaks off exactly 1 day after 12 month warranty.
Hoping I helped someone, LP

Don't worry at all about those metal hooks. After two years of abuse everything is still as it should be.
