I've had too many boots that walked trails nice but didn't climb and were not up to the rock punishment and clunkers that were vice versa in usage. These babies backpack, scramble and edge! They work for dayhiking too (yawn) because they are reasonably light; as light as previous dayhikers I have owned that were not flimsy EVA mid-soled slippers. The color does not faze me. I'm looking at the mountains (up) not at my feet. Ya gotta try 'em! La Sportiva Trango GTX wins in my book, feet down.

These boots rock as they're comfortable, lightweight, no break-in, grip well and supportive. I went ahead and added some 'Yoursole insoles' www.yoursole.com and the boots are even better. Bought an extra pair of the ZG65's as I think Scarpa might be discontinuing the line. Double thumbs up...if they fit your feet!

I have carried decent loads and they are extremely comfortable, lightweight, etc. They also clock in at just under $100 which is nice.

(aside from the color) I don't know. Best boot I've ever worn, and no, I don't work for them. Why would anyone wear anything but the La Sportiva Trango S Evo GTX?

Sturdy but light, smooth stride with lots of rocker. Might have to get a pair. I’ve clomped around my workplace in the ZG 65, brother to the ZG 40, and I really like the fit.
