Mountaineering Shoes are footwear designed for the sport of mountaineering. This sport takes place in either rocky or icy terrain, so Mountaineering Shoes can handle those conditions as necessary. Mountaineering Shoes must be not only sturdy, but also have good, strong soles that can grip the rocks and/or ice to prevent slipping. Mountaineering Shoes also tend to be waterproof or water resistant for protection from mountain weather conditions.
