Worked fine in the North Cascades

Picked these up for a 5-day, late-Summer tromp on Mt Baker. I ordered these and two different models of La Sportivas. Ended up sending the Sportivas back. Spent very little time to break these in - only 4 miles of day hiking with a 40-lb pack + wearing in the office. Despite lack of break-in, they performed fine on the mountain. I did finally feel a bit of cold and numbness after about 5 hours kick-stepping platforms up to the summit. But then again, these are not high-altitude, double-plastics (expect some loss of warmth). They dried pretty quickly once you remove the insole and left them in the sun/wind for 4-5 hours at the end of the day. They worked fine with my Grivel G-12s.
