Product Description
Revolutionary fusion of ultralight technology and mountain boot protection designed for moving fast and light over technical terrain in the mountains. Backpacker Magazine’s Editors’ Choice in 2004, the addition of Gore-Tex® represents the EVOlution of this proven design. This is a new generation of mountaineering footwear that changes the old paradigm and redefines what it means to be a mountaineering boot.
Features

•Fully-gusseted and padded tongues keep out debris and water while relieving lacing pressure
•Full rubber randing protects feet and uppers from abrasion and bumps while enhancing edging ability on thin edges

S EVO GTX Who?I have medium width fit, and that seems to be just about the limit in this boot. The toebox seems to be "snugger" than most boots I've tried on before, so I would recommend trying them on before getting them. They are a lot stiffer than they look!
My pair of 10.5's weigh 3lb 5oz.
