the unimog of boots - heavy but durable

By mongal Ranked #1125 - Men's Mountaineering Boots January 4, 2007

I bought these boots a week before a 10 trek in Patagonia. My feet surprisingly lasted about 4 days and 75 miles before blistering on the heels, not bad for no break in and hard going.

The boots are extremely well made and I picked the size 45 for my US 11.5 feet. I think my feet are on the high side of average width and the boots gripped comfortably. Neither snow, streams, nor frogging through bogs got my feet wet.
I used them only one day with step-in crampons and no surprises.

Except for their weight (like 2lbs each), they're a most excellent choice.
