Outstanding!

By Jesse Lind Ranked #51 - Men's Mountaineering Boots September 1, 2009

This product is amazing! I live in Alaska and use them for winter ice climbing. They are not even technically ice climbing boots--more of a cold-weather technical mountaineering boot that favors real steep to vertical terrain. But they are stupid light! I used to use Koflach Degre's for winter climbing (but they hurt my feet--too narrow). These boots are infinitely lighter, and because of that, they are incredibly precise! I don't feel like I'm trying to aim heavy weights when I swing my foot to plant a front point. These boots are so light they are lighter than my single layer old leather La Sportivas. I'm not a huge fan of the lacing system, but it hasn't failed me yet. I have a medium-wide foot with a high arch. I usually wear men's size 8, but I have the Spantiks in 42.
