I am curious to see how comfortable these boot can be in any situation I can muster. Before I hit a mountain I need to know how these stack up under various conditions.....sans gaiters-feet dry, warm and happy.

Much narrower than the Glacier yet plenty of clearance in the toe box and heel. Arch is held nicely although I added "blue" Superfeet to eliminate heel slip. In the pic above I was wearing a super heavy weight fleece sock that was wet going into my boots. After 'shoeing for 20+ minutes the Gore-tex took over and my toes warmed nicely. Tighter lacing and I can drop down to a mid-weight hiker sock and still be comfortable in a BD crampoon. Since I lack gaiters, the ankle padding of the boots was pretty wet by the time I made the return to the TH. The boot took about 3 hours to dry completely (I'll remind you NOT to dry them in the sun, over the fireplace, etc). I have to say, I am very impressed with the weight and performance of this boot so far.
