So my trusty blue Trango S Evos bit the dust at the weekend after years of fantastic service I’d like to replace them with the same boots but La Sportiva seem to have replaced them  with a bewildering ‘family’ of Trangos. Which is the closest replacement for the old blue Evo S? 

ie lightweight, crampon compatible and excellent scrambling boot?

’Confused of Essex!’

I was going to try to offer some help but I just jad a quick look on the La Sportiva website and there's even more varieties than last time I looked at boots, so now I'm as lost as you are.

I've had a pair of Trango Cubes for a while and they're excellent for scrambling (or even easier climbs) and very lightweight, but possibly to the detriment of durability. Like a lot of sportiva boots at the moment the soles are wearing a bit quick, though I guess that's the price for light and grippy rubber.

Make sure you look after the laces (unless you're loaded) https://www.lasportiva.com/en/laccio-mountain-trango-170-cm

If you take the cost of the laces off, the price of the boots looks really reasonable!

That's so weird. I thought it must be an error, but then all the other laces are crazy too, like the Nepal Laces for £39:

But then I found them for £3.99 on Urban Rock:

But then I found them for £30 on exxposed:

EH?

Try them first, the last changed on quite a few models! Same with Scarpa, unfortunately...

What? They are all like 3€ at official La Sportiva site. Must be some UK "special" ...

Funny (or not). If you change your shipping address country to e.g. France, the price changes from 35£ to 3€ ... Makes me wonder if they did not notice the Brexit extension or something...

Trango Cubes, but you’ll need to try them on as I reckon they size .5 of a Euro size different. I was 42 in old Trangos, but 41.5 in Cubes.
