I’ve received several inquiries regarding delivery of the Trango Cube GTX mountaineering boot in Kryptek Highlander from La Sportiva. Well, they’re shipping now. A good friend told me his had arrived just the other day, so if you’re in the market for a militarized mountain boot, they’re available.
The Trango Cube GTX features a new seamless, waterproof upper with protective rand and direct-inject lacing system. Additionally, this Gore-Tex lined boot offers an integrated removable tongue made from a soft stretch fabric to increase comfort. They’ve also reduced the weight from previous versions, yet increased abrasion resistance. One of the ways they’ve reduced weight is with the La Sportiva “One” sole made by Vibram which offers a lower profile meaning lower weight.
