Comfy, Warm, Solid Boot!

By Jeff Blackston Ranked #4 - Men's Mountaineering Boots March 30, 2010

I completely agree with Zoso. This boot is meant to be abused, and "go up"! Don't expect it to be super comfy as a trail boot. However, when used in any mountaineering setting, the boot shines. It's been the most comfortable for me whenever climbing snow/rock fields, scrambling and kicking steps on steep ascents. Might take some different or strategic lacing practices to dial in the perfect fit. I've had a couple of issues with heel lift, even though I have the perfect size. But, lacing and socks makes a big difference, at least for me. Quality is incredible. I treat with tube nikwax (which smooths the leather and changes the appearance somewhat). The boot dries quickly and is very warm. The Mont Blanc is a bigger volume boot and will fit a wider variety of feet. I really like the fit of the Summit.
