Two, they better be stiff enough to blast through steep terrain. La Sportiva's Trango Ice Cube GTX checks off those boxes with aplomb, and so much more.

Along with it's technical virtuosity, the Trango also boasts great ankle flexibility when you most need it, especially mixing it up from ice to stone.

If you're active on waterfall ice or chuffing through mixed terrain, this puppy will keep your little piggies plenty warm. In addition, the Trango tossed in an integrated gaiter to keep both the boots and your feet dry, accentuating their warmth.
