The Mammut Men's Nordwand Knit High GTX Mountaineering Boot is the first mountaineering boot built with a knit upper to provide exceptional comfort that doesn't skimp on weather protection or climbing performance. The knit upper is elastic to adapt to your foot's specific shape, and with Mammut's Base Fit 2.0 design, the Nordwand Knit High GTX should reduce blistering with its solid, comfy fit. Mammut laminated a Gore-Tex membrane to the knit upper for rugged waterproofing and comfortable breathability. The combination of Alumina, insulated footbed, and Duratherm insulation ensures warmth in sub-zero temperatures.

 

Underfoot, the Nordwand Knit High GTX has all the features you'd expect out of a high-performance mountaineering boot. There's a double-insulated insole made out of carbon for stiff rigidity that keeps the boot lighter than two pounds. This board-lasted, stiff boot also boasts a PU wedge at the heel for a bit of impact absorption. The Michelin Alpine Lite rubber sole boasts automatic crampon compatibility.

These are the best boots I have ever owned. They are the most comfortable to wear and the easiest to move in. My feet stay warm and dry even in the worst conditions (think 33 degrees and pelting rain while camping and doing rescue training on Mt. Rainier). The knitted upper dries and thaws out super fast and stays soft and flexible. The boot rivals my running shoes for comfort! Despite the soft and supple upper, it provides plenty of stability with the strategically placed reinforcements. The sole is stiff enough to provide a great climbing platform and works well with all kinds of crampons. It also has a rockered shape that makes walking a joy, especially when compared to walking in other stiff and clunky mountaineering/climbing boots. The rubber on the boot is sticky and climbs well on rock. The lugs provide great traction in snow and dirt. This is truly a 5-star product!
