All leather mountain boot for heavy-duty abuse
The Glacier is a classic leather mountain boot that is great for long backpack trips, NOLS or Outward Bound courses and general mountaineering. This boot has a half steel shank and a Vibram Ice New outsole which accepts semi-automatic crampons. The bulletproof Idro-Perwanger leather uppers repel the toughest obstacles and do a great job protecting your feet.
Originally purchased October 2005. Used about two weeks/year. Still in good condition. Never worn on pavement. I can post pictures later.
I've tried and tried to like these boots, but I've finally stopped denying that I'm really a size 15 now and need 49 or 49.5s. These boots would be good for a 13.5 or a short 14. If you're on the long side of a 14 they probably won't work well.
LaSportiva has a narrow fit, but high volume. I used the blue Ed Viesturs insoles in them ($50 new, included) to take up the volume. I never heat moulded the insoles, so you could still mould them for a custom fit.
They stopped stopped producing this particular boot a few years ago but they're still available on amazon for $250 or Moosjaw for $170. See links for comps of new prices. You'd be hard pressed to find this size though.
