I'm looking for a dedicated winter mountaineering boot that will perform well in New England in the winter while climbing through the presidentials but would also be up for a early spring trip to Mount Rainier and the occasional vertical climbing. It seems like these might be more of a year round boot and not as focused on winter mountaineering. I was also looking at the Mammut Mamook, but that is kind of out of my price range. Will this boot fit my needs?
Thanks

If you're looking for DEDICATED winter boots, don't buy these. Buy a pair with a plastic shell (like a pair of Scarpas). These boots have Gore Tex but the leather on the outside soaks up melted snow all day and freezes to ice when you wake up in the morning. You also want a boot that's a bit warmer. These will keep your feet warm pretty well but will also keep you comfortable in 60 degree weather, they're made to be flexible. You might find a plastic boot with removable liners.

You're going to hate me for saying this, but you can't put a price on good footwear. Buy the boot thats fit not only your foot but your needs. It's not like you're spending money on something that will result in you being sedentary and getting fat. Boots are always worthwhile.
