Looking to drop some boot weight

[MuleyFever]

Have Lowa Tibets that weigh almost 4.5lbs and want to get closer to 2.5lbs. These will be used in the higher elevations and in wet weather so looking for something waterproof. Considering the Crispi Lapponia Lite at about 2.25lbs or the Lowa Renegades at about 2.6lbs or Lowa Innovo at about 2.32lbs. Any recommendations and other boots to look at?

Lapponia. They are amazing. Far more durable than most lightweight boots. I'm a real gram weenie with boots and the standard Lapponia has been fantastic for me.

What size? I wear a 13 and can’t get under 3lbs unless I give up some durability and waterproofing. Currently using Hanwag allverstone at 3.5lbs. Those might be worth a look because of the flexible ankle area seems to negate some of the weight strain.

I wear a 10.5, sometimes 11. The Crispi weight above is on a size 10. I didnt notice what size they used for the Lowa weights.

La Sportiva Aquelibrium if you have feet on the narrow side. I wear EU 44 and they are just over 3 lbs a pair. You get much lower than that it's hard to have any durability

Take a good look at the Crispi colorados those are my go to for a lightweight boot with lots of support for heavier packouts. The lapponias can get old in steep country with lots of weight.

I’ve tried a lot of them and my favorite are the Thors, had 3 pairs. I also liked the Zamberlan Baltoro lites.

A second vote for the Lapponia's. A big plus for me is they offer them in wide width.

Campsaver has the Renegades GTX on sale for cheap. Just cant be particular on color.

I went down the same road you are on with Lowa Tibets. I owned 2 pair of them before I decided I wanted somthing lighter on my feet. I then went to Lowa Renegades. They were much lighter but did not last more than 1-2 seasons. From there I went to the Crispi Valdres. I have used my Valdres boots for 4 seasons now and it's time for a new pair. I ordered a pair of Lapponias but I didn't like the way the fit so I sent them back. I'll be ordering a new pair of the Valdres as I just like the way they fit my feet.
