In our opinion, La Sportiva has great footwear options at the moment. Finding a boot that will last a long time, be comfortable, waterproof and have good support, is always our goal. This is a great lightweight trekking boot perfect for climbing Kilimanjaro. Having the slightly more rigid sole helps keep your foot sturdy and protected on the trails on Kilimanjaro. They will also be a warm option for the cold night spent going up to the summit!
Another great option is the Salomon Quest 4 GTX Trekking boots. More and more people are using these trekking boots on a wide range of our trekking adventures in Nepal and around the world. They are comfortable, sturdy, waterproof and a very resilient trekking boot. They will give you the warmth you need on the cold night walking to the summit as well!
The Scarpa Kenesis pro GTX trekking boots are a little heavier than other trekking boots but they are still a great boot for Kilimanjaro. If you maintain them well, you will have them for years. Scarpa are always re-inventing trekking boots and if they fit your foot correctly, then they may be the right boot for you. They work great and last a long time.
Ian has also used a range of Mammut trekking boots over the years. He really likes the Mammut Trovat guide High trekking boots. They are really durable, reliable and will last a long time. The high ankle support is great for the rocky terrains you will encounter and all around a great boot for Kilimanjaro. All these boots will last a long time if you look after them well.
You could also consider using the Meindl Vakuum trekking boots for your Kilimanjaro climb. These are also a good option for a wide range of trekking peaks and multi-day trekking adventures. These are a very popular boot and we see a lot of clients arriving in Tanzania in this option. They are an excellent choice for mixed rocky terrain and long distance hiking. These boots will be with you for many miles as they are an extremely durable boot. Also, this could be a good option for you if you feel the cold in your feet as they will be a warmer option.
This is the latest addition to the hiking boots we recommend. They are comfortable, light, waterproof with great ankle support. These boots are a great option for Kilimanjaro.
