IMHO if the money isn't coming from your pocket then go hit end. Look TFM, It really depends on what your going to be doing in them. SO I need that kind of info to drive in the kind I would get.
But MATF is the LHOTSE (now
LHOTSE GTX) by La Sportiva. They are to me the best all around mountain boot. Covered on page 4 within this tread. PM MAX TAB about his use of them in the Mtn OPS for more Options. I like them because if you looking for some that can work in both flat land at no more than 70/80 Deg to (-) 70 Deg than this boot will do it. Wet, Cold, Snow, Ice (crampons too) to mud. This is for Mountain OPS, you can live in them for sometime. There a soft but hard boot.
Also here is a site (
HANWAG) that will give you an idea of what style or kind of boot you should be looking at or for. It breaks down the boot type by the styles, this company if great. UK and the boots are pretty much handmade. So it can take some time to get them, but no more than any other. When I got some boots from the at that time they didn't do the GPC, we had to use an International Money Order. Just email or call them, they do mil/giv sale.
ASOLO are other good boot I have. I have the TPS 520 GV, not the best if you run into a little bit of snow and Temps under 15 Degs. Their just like the
Raichle Yatna IIs IMO. Raichles are great trekking/hiking style boots. But not really great or good for mountain OPS in really cold wet/snowy areas. Love them both, but they both have there problems. See Kit Tips > Professional Gear > Raichle or Asolo? Tread for there info differences.
Another good place for buy or look at gear is
Mountain Gear. Look that site over they have some good information too.
Without know what you kind of terrain your going into and what your doing I can only provide this. So let me know, PM and I'll Post what I can for others.
