Mountaineering Boots for Sale (Size 46) 7-May-2009 At 9:15:14 AM JohnK

These La Sportiva Olympus Mons Boots (Size 46) are still for sale for only $650 (less than 50% off retail).

The boots are in great condition with only some fading on the internal leg area and some minor wear on the internal part of the outer boots. The Liners and Outer Soles are like new. A small crampon mark has been repaired. They are lighter and more comfortable then the competing One Sport Everest boots.

La Sportiva OLYMPUS MONS TRIPLE Boots (Size 46)

Minimize your effort and maximize your climbing power and chance for success with the new OLY MONS EVO! This all new model is the current state of the art - and is the lightest high mountain boot by over a pound! The amazingly light (225 g) inner boot is formed from water repellant and breathable micro-perforated foam backed by pile insulation and lined with tri-dimensional polyester knit. Removable foot bed can be replaced with your choice of aftermarket foot bed - including custom orthodics or the popular HOTRONICS for "over the top" warmth. There is also a strip of reflective tape on the backstay (so you can easily locate them for pre-dawn starts) and a fast and easy speed lace system with secure velcro tab that can be "one handed". The 1105 g outer boot sports a breathable Cordura gaiter w/ Kevlar reinforcements and XSV climbing rubber rands backed by insulating foam and a waterproof Riri Storm Zipper. The outer boots structure is crafted from Cordura with dual-density closed cell PE thermal insulating foam lined with thermo-reflective aluminum facing. This combination is extremely warm, fast drying and conforms to your foot well - so you can really climb hard (really)!
The OLYMPUS MONS EVO sole is made from a brand new special low density Insulating Vibram with climbing rubber toe inserts and is backed by a HP3 midsole - which will accept most popular crampons we sell (order at the same time and we will fit them). Inside a carbon fiber stiffner and 2.5 mm of PE thermo insulating micro foam with reflective aluminum facing contribute to your warmth and lightness of step.
