I am looking at buying a pair of light weight mountain boots. Any brands and models you can recomend.

Do yourself a Favour and go check out the 5.10 Camp Fours at cityrock.

The best i've had and seen for lightweight approach shoes...

Hi Daydreams,

What are you looking to climb in your new light-weight mountain boots?

I can recommend the Scarpa 'Triolet', as a light-weight mountaineering boot.
It's great for things like the Hornli Ridge on the Matterhorn.
Takes a back-clip crampon with front strap, light-weight and has a little flex.
Definitely a summer (euro) alpine boot.
The Sportiva Trango S Evo Gtx, is la Sportiva's equivalent,
If that's a better fit for you?
I heard it climbs really well, I prefer a little more leather.

Guess it depends on what you're after?
I ran around mt.Kenya with a five ten Exum Guide, fiddled with the laces to make it comfy,
A little more ridged than a normal approach shoe.
It'll take a back and front strap crampon, which is fine if you’re not planning on front pointing or ten pointing for real!!
Wore a pair of Kayland boots for a pretty snowy summit climb.

Hope that helps...
