The following boots are not every day hiking boots. They’re mountaineering boots and are not flexible enough for most hikes. See the recommendations from Asolo in each description.
Arx’teryx
The Arc’teryx Acrux AR GTX Mountaineering Boots is a pinnacle of design for mountaineering, ice and mixed climbing, the Acrux AR is the lightest, most durable, and lowest profile insulated double boot available. Available in men’s sizes only. limited sizing left.
Asolo
The Asolo AFS Evoluzione is for serious cold weather mountaineering. Asolo recommends it for “scrambling on icewalls and icefalls and suitable for winter works on the mountain.” The warm liner is made of velveteen, which can sometimes contain silk, but I verified with Asolo that this boot is completely synthetic. The outer boot is waterproof and provides support and stability, while still being lightweight. Available in men’s sizes only.
LaSportiva
LaSportiva’s Baruntse are equipped with a PU coated 2-layer PE insulating outer boot for durable warmth. Insulated with Ibi-thermo, a fibrous synthetic material with superb insulating properties that won’t conduct cold from the ground up and locks in natural heat produced by the feet.
