Review - Scarpa Manta GSb Boot
The first collaboration between a boot and a crampon producer has created the new Manta GSb boot especially designed for use with the Grivel Air Tech GSb binding. The GSb boot/crampon configuration eliminates any doubts of compatibility, and makes it quick and easy to attach. The points configuration is well suited to alpine and winter mountaineering.

This a fantastic all-round performer which works well as a British winter boot. The new shoe's ankle design has taken from the Scarpa technical pieces and is reported to work well up to grade 3 on Scottish snow.

This has been and will continue to be the choice for my British all-round boot. Mint...

A quick crampon trial, non GSb suggests that the boot is idea for crampon use - stiff soled for support, comfortable but supportive uppers and enough flex at the ankle cuff to keep those points in contact with the snow and ice. So no worries on that front. The GSB slot, by the way, is plugged as standard, but the blank is easy to remove with a pair of needle-nosed pliers.

Without crampons, the new Mantas are, as you'd expect, quite stiff underfoot. They're still eminenty useable for walking and some people will also love the fully-stiffened sole unit for edging on scrambles. Yes, you could use them for all-round, year-long walking, but beneath the snowline, they really are overkill and you'd bettter off with a pair of lightweight approach shoes or walking boots for use below the snowline.

The other alternative from the Scarpa stable, would be the Mirage GTX which does much the same job as the Manta but weighs around 200 grammes per pair less. We suspect the Manta with its leather uppers will be more durable in the long term, but over the course of a long day, you do start to notice extra weight underfoot.

The Scarpa Manta Gsb Boot is ideally suited to hill, mountain and glacier walking on rugged terrain and the occasional easier alpine and Uk winter climb. Excels in winter walking, where crampons are used for extended periods. Close to a staggering 10% weight loss has been achieved by moving to the New GSB- Jorasses sole unit and pro-fiber midsole, in turn the boot has been lowered, making it more dexterous and stable underfoot. Despite the weight reduction we have been able to add a generous rubber rand, which adds protection and abrasion resistance. The Last changes to DL, as used on the Mirage, a form that has proven to be exceptionally comfortable and universal in its fitting ability.
