great boots, but wearing fast

By rowan Ranked #70 - Men's Mountaineering Boots January 5, 2012

pretty happy hiking in these boots, mostly use them to approach climbing routes. they are described as insulated but here in washington i've never found them to be to warm. after two years of use, they are falling appart. mostly the lace loops are failing, but where the leather is meating the synthetic on the lower ankle the seam has failed. most of this is due to abrasion, maybe i'm just hard on my feet. my last pair of boots lasted me six year: la sportiva glacier. the lacing on these takes some trial and error, you'll find something that works. wish the tongue was removable.
