The original LaSportiva Glacier was a classic, lightweight leather mountain boot that was great for long backpack trips, NOLS and general mountaineering. They were also the overwhelming choice of many Wildland Firefighters who were on the cutting edge with their gear selection.
INTRODUCING, the new and improved Glacier boot specifically designed for Wildland firefighting.
This exceptionally comfortable, durable boot has an Ice-New sole. The bulletproof Idro-Perwanger one-piece leather uppers will repel the toughest obstacles, and do a great job protecting your feet. Their premium, silicone injected rough-out leather is made especially for LaSportiva by Perwanger leather of Italy, using a special process to make them extremely water repellent, but still breathable. The many converts to the La Sportiva boots—"hot shot crewmembers, smokejumpers, rappellers, engine crewmembers and others who wear these boots on wildland fire assignments…prefer them over traditional logger-style boots.

WARRANTY NOTICE: Although originally created for hiking and climbing, the La Sportiva Glacier mountain boot has quickly become a popular choice for Wildland firefighters all over the country. However, fire-generated heat that might be encountered while fighting fires may lead to glue breaking down and potential separation of the sole from the leather upper. Please Note: Heat delamination and associated damage that may be encountered while fighting fires is NOT COVERED by La Sportiva N.A. under the Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty, or by TheFireStore.com.
