My partner is looking for some 4-season boots, ideally no stiffer than B1, which will take a strap-on general mountaineering crampon (e.g. a G10). She'll be using them most of the year - maybe not the height of summer (which doesn't seem to exist in Scotland nowadays anyway) - and the odd winter hill walk, so we're not looking for a proper alpine boot.

The catch is, it can't have leather. I've never looked for non-leather boots before, and there aren't many about! The ideal boot for her purposes would really be the Salomon X Alp Mid GTX, but its upper is all leather.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers

There are the Veggie Trekker but I think these are classed as a 3 season boot, but my friend has worn his with crampons.

La Sportiva Trango range? Lots of variants including B1, some in the range have leather I think, but most look fully synthetic.

In reply to Pritchard:

The problem is that most of them are very Alpine oriented (they don't seem to rate their boots but anything with a semi-auto fitting is going to be B2), or they have leather uppers, or they're too soft.
