The La Sportiva Karakorum Evo GTX is a boot designed for above the bush-line tramping, hunting and mountaineering. They are also compatible for use with fully automatic crampons.
The Karakorum Evo GTX is a sturdy and hardwearing boot. The uppers are made from Idro-Perwanger leather with a high cut fabric cuff and incorporate the 3D flex system hinge which allows the ankle to make the most of its natural movement without losing stability. The Vibram sole with Impact Brake System reduces negative impact on terrain and helps keep foot slippage in check. The boot may be used with fully automatic crampons.

Love these boots. I am a farmer and wear them everyday. A little bit narrow and take a few days to wear in. Hopefully they last a couple of years for the price of them
2nd pair I've owned.Great boots
At the upper tier of Gore-Tex technology. the Karakorum Evo is extremely sturdy, not unusually heavy, and with perfect protection. The process of breaking it in does not take long to complete, and once completed, the boot is a fortress of reliance on any terrain. Naturally it is perfectly compatible with any crampon, but especially the automatic class: once properly attached, I cannot foresee any scenario an automatic crampon would be detached from the boot. Ankle protection is perfect, and the solidity of the boot renders it perfect for mixed and ice climbing. It was first tested for a winter ascent to Mueller Hutt, and performed rather incredibly.
