Great boot for big hikes

My daughter wore an earlier version of these boots during an early season Muir Trail hike in 2009 - 220+ miles and she loved every step in them, ice, snow, rocks, no problem. My son was in trail runners and not only destroyed them on the same stretch but changed his mind about what kind of footwear is appropriate for the high alpine regions where you constantly cross small streams and need grip on snow and ice. Last year my daughter wore the Trango Evos and didn't like them as much. This year, we are going back again and she'll be getting another pair of Glaciers (she outgrows them every year... ouch!)
