Reviews overview
What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
I used the shoe for 2 months summer climbing in the alps in combination with Petzl irvis hybrid crampons. They work great up to 60 degree snowfields and glacier approaches to alpine rock climbs. Light and nimble and the best shoe in this category by far.
I previously used the Salomon Cross alp which was a similar shoe with integrated gaiter. The sole on the Salomon was not as good for mountaineering when it comes to sole pattern and rubber quality.
The only drawback is that the gaiter wears a bit quickly but that is that flip side of having lightweight gear.

Hi,
I have a very wide toebox. My feet length I 25.3 cm
Normally, with narrow shoes I need to wear US9.5 (27-27.5 cm) for some wide shoes which as altra Olympus I will go for US8 or 8.5 (26-25.5)
Any recommendation for my size on Aequilibrium Speed?
Hi Kuo-Yang,
Absolutely precise size advice is unfortunately not possible in an online shop, but I would choose half a size larger than at Altra.
You are also welcome to order several sizes to choose from and return any that don't fit to us.
Best regards,
Marco
Excellent summer alpine/mountaineering/scrambling boot - light and comfortable, feels great climbing Diff trad routes that don't quite need climbing shoes but would feel clunky in B2s.
Unlikely to be stiff enough for winter climbing, but great on rock and really comfortable for walking.
