Good overall Mountain Boots

By 2tradornot Ranked #625 - Men's Hiking Boots December 31, 2009

These boots have the stiff soles of the old style mountain boots. They work well for most mountaneering use up to very steep ice. I used them on San Gorgonio with crampons for about 8 miles. I used the french technique on steeper areas as front pointing wasn't necessary. My feet stayed dry and warm with no hot spots without any break in. They fit my wide feet wonderfully. Best boots of this type I have ever owned. They edge or jam well in rock. The sole sticks to the snow and ice better than other boots of this type. Good boots for Glacier travel. I plan to use these on Mt Ranier this summer. I'll add more as I use them more.
