Excellent Boot

By Fernando Octavio Brendinberger Ranked #7 - Men's Mountaineering Boots March 31, 2010

I've had these boots for 6 weeks now and have been breaking them in at work where I do 12HR shifts in an E.R.

I would guess that I have about 20 to 25 miles on them (City miles). I am quite impressed with the comfort and feel of them. The padding around the ankle and tongue really support the ankle very well.

The insulation is very thick too (Compared to my old LS Glacier EVO).

The boot does flex, although it does have a full shank. However, the shank is made of nylon composite which I believe gives it its' limited flexibility. These boots flex enough that I plan on using them for hiking and backpacking, as well as snowshoeing/snow-camping with a sled.

Side note: While wearing these at work and getting funny looks from co-workers, I found out that one of the E.R. doc's I work with is an accomplished climber/mountaineer with over a dozen summits from around the world!
