The Mens Spantik Boot by La Sportiva is a technical lightweight double boot for cold environments.
The cutting edge of mountain-boot technology, the Spantik (hint: it's a peak in the Karakoram Himal whose Golden Pillar is synonymous with extreme alpinism) combines all the latest, lightest materials to shave a full pound of the Nuptse and still offer unimpeachable climbing performance. Throw in the FLS (Fast Lacing System) and integral gaiter collar to keep spindrift out, and the summit is yours.

"Very high quality boot" 11/27/11
Wore these on a Rainier climb this summer, and will wear them on Izta/Orizaba next fall. The sizing is tricky - I had to go up multiple sizes from what the American-European sizing charts suggest. But once you get one that fits just right, you'll love the boot. Had no blistering issues, and no problems with cold. Very comfortable for a true mountaineering boot. Love, love, love the lacing system. They were super easy to adjust during breaks, even when wearing heavy gloves. Highly recommended!
"Love this boots" 11/17/11
These boots are definitely worth the money. I am woman and I am always cold and I have problem to find perfect fit. These were ordered online, so I was worried, but they fit perfectly. They are really warm, easy to put on and as for woman trendy. On trips, because I am always cold, I wear the inner boots during the night in my sleeping bag and usually I take them down in middle of the night, because I am sweating. Only thing which makes me little bit nervous are laces, but somebody else already pointed that out. I would definitely recommend them to others.
"Absolutely love this boots" 11/17/11
I am having always problem to find good shoes and boots. These are great. Even that ordered online, they fitted perfectly. I didnt have any blisters, kept me really warm and believe me, I am woman and I am always cold. On trips I am sleeping with inner boots on (because I am always cold:-)) and usually I have to take them down in middle of night, because my feets are sweating. Only thing I am worried are laces, somebody already pointed that out, they look kind of weak.
"Got me to the top of South America's Highest Point - Aconcagua @ 6962 Meters!!" 10/12/11
These boots rock! My wife and I both wore them to the top of Mt Elbrus in Russia in July 2010 (5642 meters) and Aconcagua in March 2011 (6962 meters). We never had cold feet - stayed dry - and the fit is fantastic. We've worn them on training climbs and our incline trainer and as long as you listen to your feet - you won't get hot spots, just pay attention and adjust the lacing as needed. The super easy to adjust lacing system works well even when wearing heavy mitts. Bring an extra lace with you though - if you blow a lace you may have trouble repairing it!!! We're considering using them on Denali next season - possibly with an overboot.
"Warm technical boot" 06/25/11
These boots climb vertical ice super well. They're super warm. They look like moon boots. You can ski with them. Funky lacing system, not convinced that they won't break at some point. The sizing is interesting too, a bit more snug than other Sportiva boots. I'm a 10-10.5 street shoe, 44 in the Baruntse and Trango, 44.5 in the Trango Extreme and the 44.5 Spantik's I have are more snug in the toes than any of the others. Still, no problems with cold feet, will try thermo molding them at some point when I'm feeling very brave. I asked a La Sportiva rep about the process and he basically couldn't offer any advice.
"Great boot" 06/13/11
The boots are expensive - you pay a premium on them for a a reason (or 2):- warm - these boots are reliable - took them to Aconcagua they kept me warm and dry- super lace system - you need to follow instructions first time, after that you just wish all of your boots had the same system - everyone know that that but I still want to say: do buy them in bigger than your size, for example I'm size 38, got Spantik in 40.5 - just right for me!
"Solid Boot" 05/27/11
The lacing is a bit weird at first but once you get used to them its a very slick system especially with thick gloves on. We all know once skin is exposed to the high country wind it goes south very quickly. The fit is very good and are extremely warm. Like with any boot there is a breaking in period but I've had many other boots that have been a ton worse. You always have to expect some discomfort but these boots gave me little.Recommended
"Cadillac of a Climber" 05/16/11
With the thermo-form inner bootie and innovative lacing system, this boot is a good edition to anyone aspiring to hit the summit on any cold or technical route. While not as sensitive while climbing as the Nepal Evo, if you are heading for the "heady" heights or suffer from cold feet, this is a great option if the "last" fits.Only issue would be forming the inner boot (for which La Sportiva provides no instructions and plus, if you've ever stuck $700 in the oven just for fun, you'll know the terror of trying to warm those inners up!) but after being properly fitted and paired with your favorite crampon, they are like an angry, warm, bionic, rope gun making sweet love to your front points.
"best double boot out there" 05/09/11
La Sportiva is probably the best boot i have worn. The spantiks have nothing bad to say about them. They are light, warm, very comfortable and very good looking.If you plan to do some cold weather mountaineering this boot if definitely recommended. worth every dollar!! Great construction, great feel!! I give these boots ten thumbs up !!!
"Monster Boot!" 03/22/11
This thing is heavy but awesome. I bought for a trip to Nepal and it was everything and more. Looking back, i should have gone for a lighter boot, but if your going to do anything 25,000 plus, then go for this boot.
"Combines the warmth and convenience of a double boot with the flexibility and comfort of leather" 03/05/11
Got these for both my wife and myself. We've used them for a couple winter short overnight winter climbs and have been very pleased so far. Overall, they were warm and we didn't get any blisters even the first time we used them. I'm a size 13 street shoe and was concerned that the 47 might not cut it for me (which would have necessitated looking at other boot options) but these fit well for me, no complaints.
"Great Comfort" 01/09/11
I plan on climbing Denali this June with a pair of Spantik's on my feet. I immediately loved the comfort and feel of this boot. The lacing system allows for a quick "put on" and "take off" boot. The service at Moosejaw was excellent. Staff is helpful and friendly.
