Koflach Arctis Expe Boot - Men's
Best plastic boots you can buy.

Ranked #97 - Men's Mountaineering Boots

These are the best general mountaineering boot you can buy. They are super comfortable and warm. I spent 21 days on Denali with these boots and never once got cold. (Tip: Use VBL-- empty bread bags work great--over your liners socks for long trips for extra warmth). They are not as good for technical climbing since the heel can tend to lift but they are still all around the best plastic boot you can get. One cool feature of these boots is that you can take the inner boot out and walk around camp in them since it has a plastic sole.
