New and improved. For climbers encountering demanding surfaces, unstable weather conditions and challenging alpine environments a boot that is durable, insulated and incredibly supportive is essential.
The Alpine Expert GTX® II is a boot that loves action and is sure to keep you warm and supported through wet and icy alpine climbs. This high altitude boot is truly ready for anything.
Suitable for experienced climbers embarking on alpine tours at high altitudes and cold conditions. Designed to heavy pack loads of 20kgs+ for long distances in steep environments.
For the best possible fit, we always suggest going to one of our stockists to try the boots on in store.

Roller Eyelets
Allow for quick and easy lacing with minimal friction.
Flexfit Synchro® + Flexfit®
Allows the foot to roll forward thus saving you strength when going uphill and providing noticeable comfort.
Hard Carbon Winter Shank
Stiffness allows climbers to ascend with ease by keeping the boot flat whilst keeping the boot weight to a minimum to reduce fatigue.
Intricate Fit
