Climbing Gear Bag

What kind of boot is good for climbing Rainier?

This summer I’ll be climbing Shasta, Hood, and Rainier, but I’ll also be backpacking for a good amount. I’m HOPING to not have to get two different pairs of boots. I saw in an outside magazine gear guide that the Salomon Proton Mid GTX was a good “Peak bagging” boot (crampon compatible), but every other sort of guide of seen seems to claim that Rainier needs a more serious boot. I’ll be on the mountain in July and can afford to wait for optimal weather conditions. Can I get away with a boot like the Proton? Do I need to go plastic? Any advice at all will help…

This is from a recommended gear list for a guided summit of Mt. Rainer:

“FEET

[ ] MOUNTAINEERING BOOTS: Insulated plastic boots are the preferred choice for ascents on Mt. Rainier. They provide the best insulation as well as a more rigid sole for kicking steps and holding crampons. Some leather boots that have Vibram soles and full shanks are also adequate, but they will need to be a stiffer design and might still result in cold feet on summit day.
Guides’ Pick: Plastic Boots: Scarpa Inverno
Guides’ Pick: Leather Boots: La Sportiva Nepal Evo GTX ”
