Why We Like The Trango Tech GTX Mountaineering Boot
The La Sportiva Trango Tech GTX Mountaineering Boot bridges the gap between both backpacking and mountaineering for an option that helps us confidently tackle all types of terrain. We appreciate how its low-profile sole and midsole allow technical footwork and edging capability when climbing easier graded routes, while also offering semi-automatic crampon compatibility for glacier travel. The waterproof upper and GORE-TEX membrane keep your feet dry across mountainous terrain, and the gusset-free tongue construction increases comfort for long miles on the trail.

Good support, good grip, poor durability
- Size Bought:
- 12
- Height:

Have about 125 miles of mixed trips with these--heavy snow, easy Sierra summer backpacking, and tougher off-route scrambles. They broke in OK--took about six days of hiking before they were good to go, and even still I use some KT tape on my ankles to avoid hotspots...but they are comfortable for super long days (18+ hrs hiking) and quite light for the support and relative weather resistance. My only issue with them, but it's a big one, is I'm not sure I'll get more than two seasons out of them. It might have been chafing from wearing them with snowshoes but the sides are wearing through on both boots, and in general these look like three year old boots, not six months. Still comfy though so I'm hoping to wear them until the side gives out further, at which point I'll probably replace them with the full leather version assuming they fit the same.

I bought these boots to bridge the gap between mountaineering and hiking boots so I could use them for hiking on trails to mountain summits. So far these have lived up to the task. I never got blisters or any other comfort issues. They were a little weird to get used to walking in at first but that was overcome quickly. This was probably due to the fact I have never had a mountaineering boot before these. The only gripe I have about them is when the inside fabric by the ankle of the boot gets wet it seems to take longer to dry out than most footwear I have had in the past. If you have a boot dryer then no problem but when backpacking for days or weeks at a time this would be an issue especially in higher altitude, colder conditions. However, these will get their first real test as I utilize them on my backpacking trip in the Sangre De Cristos in September. Will update my review then.

Bad fit

The good: Well made, stiff, and super grippy. The bad: The fit is bizarre. I’ve tried to break these guys in for a long time to no avail. I’ve owned them for a year and they still give me extremely bad blisters in the heels. This would indicate they are sized too big, but that said, they feel extremely tight on the top of the toe box making them feel too small even though I have room in front of my toes. Theoretically, they are exactly my size. Long story short, I can’t tell if they are too big or too small. I’ve never had this issue with other Sportiva products. I thought they’d break in better but they haven’t. It’s too late for me to return them, otherwise I would. I may try to sell them elsewhere but I would seriously recommend getting a few sizes to really nail it.

Rigid + Cushioned + Light = Bravo!
- Size Bought:
- 46/12.5
I'm a hiking guide in southern Utah canyon country. I wear a Euro size 45 in most boots (La Sportiva, Salewa, Asolo), and a Euro size 45.5 in Scarpas. I require boots that are notably rigid from heel to toe, because they prevent my feet from the constant bending that triggers plantar fasciitis. Yet I also need boots that have sufficient cushioning to allow me to hike long slickrock routes daily. I much prefer all-synthetic boots to leather or partially-leather boots. And, of course, I want my boots to be as light weight as possible. Previously, I relied on La Sportiva's Trango TRK. I was very happy with them, but they've been discontinued, so I switched to the Trango Tech. Opinion: It's excellent, and will be "my" boot as long as La Sportiva keeps it in production. The Techs are just as stiff as the TRKs, perhaps a bit more so. If anything, they might be slightly more cush. And they're exactly 1 ounce lighter (per pair, without insoles) than the TRKs. My size 45 Trango Techs weigh 2 lbs 13 oz, according to my scale. Sizing for the Trango Tech seems to be nearly identical to the Trango TRK. Perhaps the Techs are a smidge shorter (due to the angled toe box), but size 45 still works for me. Conclusion: If you're looking for that rare combination of lightweight + rigid + adequate cushioning, in an all-synthetic boot, for technical dayhiking, the La Sportiva Trango Tech might be your boot.

Bought these for anything where the Nepal Evo (or similar mountaineering boot) is not necessary. Aside from about 20 minutes on a class 1 hiking trail, wore these for the first time on Capitol Peak in Colorado (17 miles, 5,000+ feet vert and lots of heads up class 4). They are comfortable, and right out of the box performed extremely well everywhere from the fast paced approach to technical edging where it really counts. The break in period is minimal, however even though I didn't have to use moleskin/tape, I recommend at least having some with you if you're doing a long outing the first time using these.. Based on first impressions I strongly recommend this boot. Regarding sizing, my climbing shoe size is 41.5, and bought these in a 42. I was wearing a moderately thick wool sock and the fit is pretty good. It's on the roomier side, however a 41.5 with this thick a sock would be too tight. If you are not planning on wearing a thicker sock and will not be using them in cold temps, you will probably be ok sticking with your true climbing shoe size.
