Winter walking boots - Scarpa Manta GSb - Size 45 (EU) (UK)
Scarpa Manta GSb (B2 for crampon compatibility). Uppers in perfect condition, good tread with just a bit of the shank exposed at the toes (see photos – this is just a bit of rubber wear though and doesn’t affect performance/waterproofness). I'm selling these boots because, after just a few expeditions into the hills, I've had to accept they aren't quite the right fit for me. They would make an excellent pair of winter boots, especially for someone who already has three season boots but wants some stiffer boots for the odd winter outing. They were about £200 new. Price below excludes postage. Review and features from the web: The Scarpa Manta is ideally suited to hill, mountain and glacier walking on rugged terrain and the occasional easier alpine and Uk winter climb. Excels in winter walking, where crampons are used for extended periods. Close to a staggering 10% weight loss has been achieved by moving to the New GSB-Jorasses sole unit and pro-fiber midsole, in turn the Manta boot has been lowered, making it more dexterous and stable underfoot. Despite the weight reduction we have been able to add a generous rubber rand, which adds protection and abrasion resistance. The Last changes to DL, as used on the Mirage, a form that has proven to be exceptionally comfortable and universal in its fitting ability.
