Meindl Matterhorn Extreme 2009

£260.00

The GSB crampon mounting system is no longer provided in the Scarpa Manta, but it does remain on the Meindl Matterhorn Extreme. This system appeared in 2008 on this 4-season boot and it allows dedicated crampons to slot into the front of the boot while a tail clip locks the rear of the crampon in place. This makes crampon fitting ...

Millet Radikal Rock 2009

£240.00

Designed specifically for summer alpine technical mountaineering on mixed snow and rock, the Millet Radikal Rock 4-season boot boasts a radical design. The upper is made from various synthetic materials, which give it a unique style, as well as plenty of support and protection from its relatively low weight.

Vasque M-Possible 2009

£240.00

The Vasque M-Possible is a 4-season boot with  a parts list that resembles a NASA spacecraft. However the designer must have had an off day when they needed a name for the upper material, which is called ‘Superfabric’. Despite a rubbish name it is incredibly robust and looks set to withstand mountains of wear and tear. There is a rubber ...

Scarpa Manta 2009

£220.00

Last year the Scarpa Manta 4-season boot had the GSB crampon system, but sadly the system has not become popular enough to warrant its continuity, so on the Manta it is now a feature that can be logged as that great idea that got away! The remainder of the Manta is classic performance-orientated design though. The boot sits lower to ...

Zamberlan Expert Plus GT 2009

£190.00

The Zamberlan Expert Plus GT is a new 4-season boot for 2009, but it follows traditional design lines, being made from thick one-piece leather. The upper is almost stitch-free so this boot won’t leak easily, but there is a waterproof lining too in case you forget to treat the leather properly. There is a double tongue inside so that a ...

Berghaus Kibo 2009

£180.00

The Berghaus Kibo has been available for a couple of years, but unlike some other 4-season boots its cost has not increased significantly this year due to global economics, and so now the price is very appealing. It is packed with good features too. The upper is made from synthetic material and leather, while a Gore-Tex waterproof lining keeps feet ...

Meindl Matterhorn Extreme 2008

£199.00

When it comes to 4-season boots, Meindl has followed Scarpa by taking advantage of the GSB crampon mounting system, which allows dedicated crampons to slot into the front of the boot while a tail clip locks the rear of the crampon in place. This is possibly the easiest, quickest and safest crampon mounting available. Apart from GSB, the Meindl Matterhorn ...

Scarpa Manta GSB 2008

£170.00

This 4-season boot is well-padded throughout the inside  and a rubber rand around the whole boot adds protection on the outside that is ideal for mountaineering.
