Great all-round boot

Since I rely heavily on reviews, I thought it is about time that I contribute one of my own. Just bought these boots for some hiking/mountaineering. My impressions so far: Out of the box, they are fairly comfortable. I threw in an old pair of running shoe insoles and now they are amazingly comfortable. I had them out in <0deg F and my feet were toasty. The lace cleat midway up the boot is great - and can fix my BD Sabretooth crampons with no difficulties.
The bad: well, so far these boots have served me well so I can't say too much here - The two boots were a slightly different colour (strange). Overall - two thumbs up.
