Vasque Super Alpinista Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Brand : VasqueItem : VSQ0061
The Vasque Super Alpinista Mountaineering Boots rock everything from peak bagging to technical ice climbing, especially where the warmth of a double boot isn't required. Vasque's carbon fiber insole keeps this mountaineering boot flexible and agile on your big mountain pursuits, and the Super Alpinista Boots' Exo-Therm upper material provides warmth and blocks moisture. These mountaineering boots' Stealth rubber outsole absorbs shock and gives grippy traction with each step, and the Super Alpinista's lining wicks moisture away from your sweaty feet. Vasque's mountaineering boots are crampon compatible, so you can step in and face the ice flow.

Vasque Super Alpinista Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Great design, but horrible fit over previous model
I never got to wear these outside, so I can only comment on the fit and compare them to the last generation Vasque Super Alpinista, which I own. First, they are much lighter than the previous generation, though a little less stiff – but still plenty stiff for front pointing. Unfortunately the instep is much, much higher. (I have an average size instep). Worse still, the bottom part of the instep can’t be tightened because of the new tongue design. Thus, when you do tighten down the laces it creates a pressure point at the top of your foot while most of the instep remains lose. I wonder if this is a production issue, as the boots were supplied with unusually high-volume insoles. On the brightside, from a design standpoint these are absolutely awesome! Just as warm and protective as the La Sportiva K4S but much more svelte for technical work with a superior sole. Just remember, they don’t fit like the last generation Alpinista they replace. I hate to return such a great boot, and wish Vasque hadn’t changed the fit over the previous model.
