How does sole stiffness on this compare with the spantik. I've heard it's a bit soft. I'm usually a 44-45 so if it's too soft it can certainly be tiring on a long day. My spantiks gave me achilles tendonitis so I'm hoping to find something to replace them with. Any help out there? Open to suggestions... Baruntse doesn't fit, and I don't want the bulk of an olymon, but I still want a double boot.

It is a softer boot (sole and cuff) than the Spantik. Sole is plenty stiff for steep water ice or hard mixed. Long bits of moderate alpine ice will be trying in comparison to Spantik. The up side is the 6000 will climb hard technical ground easier.
