La Sportiva Baruntse Mountaineering Boot

The La Sportiva Baruntse Mountaineering Boot is a big mountain boot made from synthetic materials and thus is the mountaineering boot of choice for vegetarians and vegans to conquer 7000 meter plus peaks. Other La Sportiva big mountain boots suitable for those that make ethical choices include the Olympus Mons EVO,  Batura EVO and Batura 2.0 GTX.  

Scarpa Rebel GTX Mountaineering Boot

The Scarpa Rebel GTX Mountaineering Boot available at MEC is comprised of nylon L-Tech & Lorica and thus makes it a good choice that chose to wear vegan / vegetarian mountaineering footwear. Other models in their mountaineering boot line up includes the Charmoz GTX.
