Black Diamond Factor Alpine Touring Boot - Men's

Item #BLD0358 | 0 in Stock

30s broke

By Ranked #152 - Alpine Touring Boots February 17, 2009

BD just doesn't seem to make solid gear any more. I was in the shop trying on different boots and so I figured I'd try on the Factors. I buckled in, leaned forward and heard a snap. The shop guy and I looked at each other, then looked down and saw the walk mode had just broken. This problem has been reported by others. I just won't buy anything more from black diamond until someone else has done the real-world testing.
