Hi James, great video!! Finally someone comparied thes boots!!! Thanks a lot!!!!! the G-tech size 44 fitted my feet pretty well! Do you think i need 44,5 in th G-summet or is a 44 roomier already???? Thanks a lot 🎉
@@andysteiner8900 thanks very much! I would probably go for the same size as G summit definitely has more room than the g tech for colder conditions. Hope this helps
@@SebastienDegardin the summit of mont Blanc temperatures can vary massively by the day. Even in summer. G TECH should be fine for most summers but G summit would be the safe option, especially if in spring. Also it allows you to do more high trips in the future.
@@abditorius it's not! However the latest Mammut ice climbing boots arr amazing value in the modern scheme of things. www.outside.co.uk/mammut-m-kento-mountain-high-gtx-mountain-boots.html
Hi James, What LaSportiva boot would be sufficient for a Scottish winter predominantly hiking & Mountaineering? Aiming to say bag the highest peaks of GlenCoe or Torridon? Really enjoyed the video 🙌🏼 very informative & hopefully 1 day I’ll be needing a pair of the Summit & Evo boots!
@@leerobinson4553 hiya! The Aequilibrium ST would be great for that. Takes a c2 crampon but is brilliant to walk in and climb easier routes. They have been very popular. Link here: www.outside.co.uk/la-sportiva-aequilibrium-st-gtx-mountaineering-boots.html I hope this helps
@@isthisthetop_4150 should be more than suitable and obviously warmth adjustable. certainly more than good enough in the summer months yet possibly suitable in winter too depending of the day.
Serious question, why are all of these types of boots so insanely narrow? Especially in the toe box? Any possibility of ever getting a more anatomical shape in the toebox?
@@joshl.1978 have your tried all these on? Never fitted old style la sportiva but g summit and g2 evo are definitely roomier then the older models. G tech is narrower for more precise fit. If still to narrow scarpa and boreal have more space
@@sentralsix there are loads of great ones to choose from, La sportiva Aequilibrium St if very poplar with, however if you need warmer the Scarpa mont Blanc is a solid work horse.

James. Another excellent overview... your right there's a lot of info to get across to people... Awesome :)
@@jeztv9014 thank you, yeah so much we could talk about. Used the boots since then too with good results
Thanks for the great review!
@@stevosworld1656 thank you!
Just picked up a pair of the La sportiva G2 evo . Was so surprised how light these are for a size EU 44 . Pretty amazing comfortable double boot.
@@Dan84888 great stuff, hope you get to use them on some cool routes!
@OutsideHathersage October 2025 climbing Mera peak,island peak & lobuche east peak so putting some miles on these for sure 🏔️

Thanks!
Very useful!
Any recommendation for climbs like Mont-Blanc in Spring/Summer. Surely GTech or GSummit. ? Thoughts? Thanks!

@ thanks a lot!
@@SebastienDegardinFully automatic boots are overkill imo. You could use something from the Semi-auto Aequilibrium line just fine.

Thank you, I’ll take a look!
is the g summit warm enough for Mont Blanc?

What B2 boots would you suggest for Winter Scottish Highlands?
