Glacier WLF Mountaineering/Hiking Boots for Men

This boot is designed for specific purposes and features several key characteristics. The upper is made from 3mm Idro-Perwanger Roughout Leather, providing durability and protection. The lining is Dry-Best®, which helps maintain a comfortable and dry interior.

The insole features an 8mm MtnFlex construction with a 1.5mm Dacromet-coated half steel shank, offering support and stability. The midsole is composed of PU Aircushion, adding cushioning and comfort.

Crucially, the sole is a Vibram Ice-New model that has been HRO (Heat and Slip Resistant Outsole) tested and ISO 20344 certified. This means the sole is heat resistant up to 300°C and the glue is heat resistant up to 100°C. However, it is important to note that the heat-activated glue will delaminate if exposed to fire or extreme heat, and this is not covered under warranty.

The boot meets the federal standards for wildland firefighting, with a minimum height of 8 inches on all models. This makes it suitable for forest management work, post-fire clean-up, and other similar terrains, but it is not intended for frontline firefighting.

The weight of the boot is 32.1 oz or 910 g, which is relatively lightweight for the level of protection and durability it offers. The last used in the construction is the Makalu, which provides a comfortable and ergonomic fit.

In terms of the materials, the boot features a 100% Leather fabric type and a Rubber sole material. The outer material is also Rubber, contributing to the heat-resistant properties of the footwear.

The boot is IDEAL for a range of applications, including wildland fire mitigation and clean-up, linesman work, and backpacking. The heat-resistant sole, protective upper, and supportive insole and midsole make it a versatile choice for those working in challenging outdoor environments.

Overall, this boot is designed to provide reliable protection, comfort, and performance for those engaged in forestry, firefighting, and other related activities. Its careful construction and selection of materials ensure it meets the necessary standards and can withstand the demands of the intended use cases.
