Anyone have recommedations for light weight mountaineering boots? I currently wear a pair of Asolo Triton boots that I like quite a bit, with the exception of their lack of durability (which many folks have commented on). I don't actually do any serious mountaineering, just non-technical peak bagging and backpacking. Nevertheless, I'm getting older and the feet (like the boots) are wearing out a bit, so I like a really stiff sole and the good support that boots like the Triton provide; most of the so-called heavy back-packing boots don't quite cut it for me. So any favorites comparable to the Tritons?

La Sportiva Trango S (the red ones). The go-to lightweight mountaineering boot.

the new scarpa boots maverick gtx or rebel gtx. for non waterproof boots look at garmont vetta and garmont icon

also look at the salewa ms mtn trainer mid and the ms rapace. there are a lot of boots out there that will fit your discription, the real issue is finding the boot that fits your foot. if going the mail-order route, order boots in multiple sizes from various manufacturers.

If you're not front-pointing then the LS Trango S Evo is definitely the go, if it fits you. LS are generally narrow-ish in the forefoot.

I'm still using a pair of LS Trango Plus (all leather) from the past century (resoled twice). If the new Trangos are half as good as mine I would recommend them. But if you really want to find your perfect match you need to drive to a place with many options and spend whatever time you need trying every model they have, several sizes per model, forget about mental preferences and let your feet decide. I spent two days in Madrid (3,5h drive from my home) and it was worth it.
